  • “priced out”

    Man, I hate that term. Sure the business owners call it “sad” and decry the current cost of living… but they’re still open, right? They won’t pay their workers a living wage (yes, that depends on the area they chose to operate in), but I bet they vote for all the pro-tourism measures on the ballot every year. I bet they “adjust” the menu prices of their bar or bistro based on demand…

    And at the same time, the local government needs to reign in the limitless greed of real-estate investors beyond just building one small lower-income housing structure.

    Fuck everyone in that town, because they’re already fucking the workers…





  • Unfortunately, it’s not always that black & white with an assured outcome. I just had to make the difficult decision to put my cat down, kidney failure.

    As a result, everything in her was shutting down. It would have taken several days and thousands of dollars just to stabilize her at an inpatient animal hospital. The cost aside, it would have required much more stress, pain, and separation for her, with pretty much the same unfortunate result. So I declined, and it was the right thing to do. I miss her terribly…

    Absolutely, they’re at-odds! Church attendance is down and people like me will now walk out if the pastor/leadership starts talking about following Trump. As for why that is, I don’t know. I think people have been following money and power rather than Jesus for a while now…

    Ignoring the obvious joke, she doesn’t display any of Jesus’s qualities. Is she gentle, caring, and compassionate? Does she humbly serve the poor and the disadvantaged? Does she forgive her enemies and bless those who oppose her? Does she sacrifice for the benefit of others!?

    I’m a Christian and while I don’t know for certain, I believe God knows the heart. But I don’t expect to see her in Heaven…
