This is a literary device called a "bookend narrative." If you want more stories like that, there's your search term.

I have hope that they will not learn from these mistakes and will therefore keep making them. I hope that hope is not misguided.

Yeah, the elections get operated at the state level, but don't you still need an employed VP to count/register them?

Really, the media finally realized millennials don't care if we killed Applebee's or whatever, and they've moved on to the next thing to scare boomers with. "They hate us because we buy bags of paper napkins" becomes "They hate us because we can use old style keyboards." Generations are not a monolith. You can compare them, but it's stupid to pass judgment in that way.

There's one I see around town often enough. I was parked at a red light next to it the other day and it was remarkable how shitty the panels look up close. They're not really flat and planar. They're sort of wobbly like corrugated tin.

Haha, yes, apple fritters are the best, but the place by me makes them so big I only have to order the one.

Greed, corruption, and nepotism are effects of power structures, not socialism. That's why we have them under our economic system as well as socialist/communist states in the past.

This is clearly an attempt to make a second Gamergate happen.

Hah, I love this track, but kind of ironically. It's fun when it comes up on shuffle.
