American mobility is a lie. When you're of a certain class, there is only mobility downwards especially when locked in a lease. I am paying for two rentals and have no legal right to break it without consequences. The PM only gave me options they benefit from even though I had to leave the state.

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

Russia supplies Iran with missiles and intelligence data used to target American forces. Trump helps Russia secure funding for the production of these missiles, while involving ordinary Americans at gas stations in this bloodshed. Blood-soaked diesel: 98%Ukrainian and 2%American military blood.

We cannot beat Iran in a war, but we can follow them in the public executions like any other fascist regime. Cool, cool.

How successful are people in life, work, and/or their life? Not sure, but only of my own experience and that’s all I can “control”.

The balance of playing the (social, work) game and understanding everything is temporary (even when it does not appear to be).

What do you do when you’re in career quicksand? The moment you realize the self-delusion and the only difference from back then to now is you had the hope, aspiration, and desire to continue one to get out of the situation. There never was a choice.

Been here about two weeks now and I ask myself, "why would anyone live in Texas?". I am bucking the trend, yes, but the heat, the torrential rain for today, and the weird politics (religious and otherwise) I find myself bracing the next year or two just to break even (at least, I hope).

This is not something one would presume if you knew the dollar amount they want to charge. Ironically, Seattle does have strict leasing laws and their dollar amount could be a bluff considering they might not have a course of action. I just do not know the reality.

Is it weird that my previous Property Management is not getting back with me about what I supposedly owe them for breaking the lease? My access to the portal where I would pay them is closed/locked. When I checked last before the new month it was zero'd. Are they forgiving my lease break?!

So far at my first day at new job the onboarding is catered to Pacific time. At 11PM. Just sitting in front of my computer twiddling my thumbs as I am locked out of my email account. Only my indirect supervisor has communicated with me. Remote for today, but what a start. . . . Going swimmingly?!

This is right off of I-35, the conduit between Dallas and Austin. Quite shameful.

I did move it all. At my advanced maturity (I am a bit old), I am amazed with what got done. The queen-sized mattress was the biggest challenge. Renting a hand truck was absolutely worth it.

Is it weird we privatized water filtration in most of the United States. It actually creates of class divide on hydration. Filtration systems can cost hundreds to start and an additional subscription to filters themselves. Was it always like this or is this a recent phenomenon.

It’s amazing the American people will tolerate a buffoon which is our President to learn on the job. The man has no instinct in making a deal. Just the fluster of a TACO.

Attempting to choose an electricity provider in Texas where it's deregulated and what a cluster fuck! Every step, website, and communication is a new roadblock to figure who can even service you let alone actually get you to an answer. The "user experience" is outright offensive.
