I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

Ok so: The Hero is Overpowered but Overcautious or whatever is goofy goofy goofy, until the last two episodes when it suddenly gets heart breakingly serious. I dunno, it seems like the original writing team was just keeping the bench warm for the real writers, who showed up 10 episodes in. #anime

When you wonder what's hitting your local economy, remember every $ in federal research funding turns into multiple $$ in jobs, purchasing power, etc... This is effectively pulling $300 billion from the GDP?
