  • I do make sure things are spic and span back there. It's just not her thing. That's OK, I'm not complaining at all. Relationships include a lot of compromises to love and support your partner. She does this for me once in a while even though she doesn't love it. I do things for here that aren't my fav to do, but I love doing them because they make her happy.

  • I see a lot of people talking about 3 years being relatively short. The point is not about keeping Trump out, it's about putting the independent CEO in. 3 years is a long time for an independent CEO to dismantle the company and fix a ton of shady stuff.

  • My super secret tip: for every little ache and pain - get a doc to give you an Rx to a physical therapist. It might turn out to be nothing, might turn into something worse - either way PTs are awesome magic workers. I will elaborate:

    • Drs are mostly limited to two things, surgery or an Rx (ok maybe a few other things).
    • PTs can't do those, but they can use stretching, massage, electro stimulation, exercise, and all sorts of practical, cheap methods to make you feel better.
    • (In the US at least) medical plan PT allocations are designed for the elderly when they break a hip. So there are usually a ton of free (or very subsidized) sessions in your plan. Way more than you'd need in a year, even if you do break something at 40.
    • They know the mechanics of the human body in a practical way that no doc has ever learned at school. I call it PT magic. Hey, your shoulder hurts, do this leg hammy stretch, voila and your shoulder feels better.
    • I can also share some of my other personal training goals (don't be fat, don't die early) and it's like having a subsidized personal trainer. And one better than any you could get at the gym.
  • There is a solid counter argument here (to play devil's advocate). This is what a right wing American would say to this:

    See, we don't have to tax the rich, they're so generous. It's more efficient to let them have their money and donate it directly to causes. The federal government is so bad at allocating wealth, reducing taxes so more people can be like her is the way to go.

    If the person above is not wealthy themselves, the following thought to this is Well, when I'm inevitably wealthy because of how great I am, I don't want the government taxing me so I can be like her.

    Then they pat themselves on the back for being so ((in an impossible future)) generous.

    It's worth thinking about how to counter this argument.
