real talk though: there should be a place in our world for "employed but we're assuming this is just play money because it's a bunch of 16 year olds still on their parents' dime."
not everything has to be a living wage. maybe some "please violate the ADEA here" rule. if you're still on the dole, you get $7.25. If you're an adult and this is the only job around, you get $20. this will lead to massive age discrimination, but whatevs. a 16 year old making $20 doesn't help.
it'd take some hollywood personality going hard right to repeat the success. if i wanted to repeat the magic of trump, i'd look at about 20 years in the future and find some 40 year old charismatic person to have a series of tv shows that put him in roles where he is always the manly big boss man, then pump him up for the 2044 election. i don't think all the stuff that trump has exists right now organically.
saw something where we are supposed to have big time hurricanes this year. maybe houston will take one in the pooper but the outskirts make it up to the travis watershed.
thinking of buying some raw land, funded in part by a 50k loan from my 401k. never done it before, seems too good to be true. the cost of the loan appears to be about $135 in fees. i pay back the loan plus 10% interest to my 401k. i of course just end up with that interest myself back in my 401k. right now 401ks are super high and i'd guess a bit of slowdown, so its a good time to take money out of one anyway. am i looking at this wrong?
also, the board did recommend parole for sirhan sirhan, but newsome worked to have that undone. ruined his opportunity for a johnny vander meer-like record.
