Nah man, that’s not the purpose of unrestrained capitalism. The point is to get big enough that you can buy out all the competition, then make your product cheaper and cheaper once there’s no one to compete against. It’s a bit like an economical algae bloom.

Also, it will take weeks for the whole process to get started again. Once deals are made, factories start production again, and containers are loaded onto ships, which will then take weeks to make it across the ocean. We’re talking months of supply chain shocks in the best possible case.

This is our Bitty Kitty!

Edit: it won’t let me post the picture.

Same! I remember as a kid just deciding one day I would remember where I was at in a book, and ever since I’ve just… been able to remember.

We mostly just abide.

In all seriousness, I got it while I was stationed down in Georgia in the army. Your options to get married were to go in front of a judge (good luck with that), or pay a “minister” anywhere from 100-250 or whatever to ask you whether or not you knew each other, if you were in love, and whether or not you were getting married just for tax purposes.

I thought that was bullshit, so I registered with the church of the latter day dude and married people for the cost of a lunch or a six pack of decent beer.

I’m a registered minister in the church of the latter day dude based out of Oregon and am happy to marry lgbtq folks.

What a terrible day to be literate.
