Mobile ordering at @Starbucks has ruined the store experience. Without the natural through-put created by having to walk into the store to order, two to three baristas can’t possibly keep up. It’s a disaster.

The average price to fill a tank of gas in the US right now is $70 ($5/ gallon & 14 gallon tank). ⛽️ The total federal gas tax on that tank is $2.52.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

If you’re a parent, and you’re arguing today that there’s no need to ban AR-15s, you are not a good parent

The issue is money in politics. They’re allowing children to die because of the gun lobby. They’re allowing the planet to die because of Big Oil. They’re allowing people to go without healthcare and die because of the insurance lobby. Inaction is bought.

Norm MacDonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”

I'd looooove to know how many people who think storming the Capitol is an acceptable form of protest believe that taking a knee during the national anthem isn't.
