When I was in Iceland food was so expensive that I was happy to eat at a KFC because it was my first affordable meal.

Akvavit and pizza

I'm betting they'll blame anyone else but Trump here. They'll say someone else is blocking his genius. Victims of scams frequently double down on the scam to protect themselves emotionally.

In an alternate reality Trump would be selling used cars. "This one is a beaut. Better jump on it fast though, I had a guy from Kansas asking about it. Offered $10 grand for it..."

I'm betting on Trump attacking Moody's to force them to put up a fake rating. "Raise it or else!"

Cutting taxes right now is like saying "We can't pay our bills. I'm quitting my job." How about raising taxes on the top 1% and capital gains on them too. Instead he shoves tariffs on us, essentially a federal sales tax.

I wonder if those hard-right lawmakers realize that even republican voters depend on medicaid.

A lot of deluded voters

Enshittification marches on

"Hey you stupid assholes, buy this car!"

I thought social media was doing it already

It is very vague and it says it is not for performance reasons. I wonder if early retirement packages are being offered too. If they are getting rid of some management layers they are looking to remove some of the higher paid staff so they can bring in younger folks who will be making less to start and also opening up opportunities for advancement. Over time those management layers get overfilled and no one below them can move up and that incentive is lost.

It never stays pristine but the worst of it took decades to accumulate. We found over a dozen tires, a safe, a beer keg, a beaten up rowboat, tons of old clothes piled up at an old campsite and of course the ever present cans and plastic bottles. We also worked on removing invasives. As time went on most of the trash was what got carried by the streams feeding it from drains. There was one time I found a car had been dumped off of the bike path and set on fire.

Thanks for cleaning things up. It is very satisfying if a bit frustrating too. It is one of the few things in life where the result is obvious and clearly positive. I'm always picking trash up on hikes. Maybe the owner of the land would be willing to assist you by providing a place you can deposit the bags of trash and they could truck it out weekly or so. We did something similar with the state (it was public land) and had a storage shed with tools a local business let us use.

I worked on regular cleanups of a wetlands near my old apt and the bike path that ran by. We'd pull literally tons of crap out of there but over time it got less and less.

I remember the 70s-80s and the trash but that doesn't excuse littering even less now.

If. Old bottles, pizza boxes, etc aren't going to identify you.

What you do when no one is looking is your true character.

It was all in ventinary science and mouse psychology
