Also Colorado. Granted, covid didn't give me much opportunity here but I wore a suit this summer for the first time in about 5 years. It was a wedding and I was the officiant 🙃

Assuming not-Montana US, you can be fired for any reason other than membership in a protected class (race, religion, etc). Attending an ice cream social, even a company one, is not a protected class.

Organize for what, exactly? A big reason he shouldn't be in office is because he incited an insurrection on January 6 to overturn an election. Any kind of organization to prevent him taking office would also be an attempt to overturn an election.

If you have a different goal in mind, I'm all ears. But I've been crying that democracy and elections are sacred and I'll be damned if I'm going to change my mind because it's gone the other way.

It's not even a crime, it's a civil lawsuit they filed

Some of his advice (mainly the first "baby steps" of paying off debts and getting some money saved) is reasonable enough. Snowball method of paying off debt may not be the most mathematically advantageous, but it does give psychological quick wins to those who may need it most. Paying off high-interest loans first doesn't mean much if you get frustrated and give up. Setting a budget is also important.

Once you get past that his advice is pretty awful though. Yes, I use credit cards but I pay it off. Yes, I have a car loan but its interest rate is so low I pay a rounding error's worth of interest through the life of the loan. No, I'm not paying my mortgage off on a 15-year schedule because its interest rate is plenty low as well and I've got better things to do with my paycheck.

Is "breaks silence" the "slams" equivalent in headline writing when someone gives an opinion?

It's a solution in search of a problem. And boy are they searching.

Isn't he supposed to be banned from NY?

Honest question: huh?

Hmmm. Do pineapple and anchovies go together?
