That's usually about health insurance. Keeps their premiums down if they offer health as a benefit. Doesn't make it right, but it is not a morality thing on the firm's part.

Did you ever drink Baileys from a shoe?

Neither does protectionism. I'm not saying you're wrong, but isi policies that make imports expensive also hurt the working class. Overall free trade might be fine if it's combined with a more robust welfare state.

I've heard soccer's pretty bad with it too. Maybe badminton is the answer.

Almost 700 people have pleaded guilty or have been convicted for j6. Some of the leaders, like Tarrio, are going away for a very long time. Of course it takes a long time to bring a case against Trump himself, but the narrative that nobody's facing consequences is a little disingenuous at this point. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/30-months-jan-6-attack-capitol

WTF is life coaching? Have a facebook acquaintance who did some class and calls herself one, after being a yoga instructor. Like--why would you take advice from a person of middling success? Is it just another MLM where people calling themselves life coaches teach other people to be life coaches so they can teach more life coaches?

Site exists, but it's part of the schtick. It's Alan Wagner, @truewagner on insta.

He never had to take the stand in the first >place. He didn't even have to be in the courtroom.

I thought he did have to take the stand, but didn't have to be there for the rest of the trial. AFAIK he's compelled to testify (or take the fifth, but he and the kids have to do one or the other).
