But what if I was being nice about it?

I guess if you beeped the horn a couple of times in short bursts instead of a long, angry Karen style honk...while waving....It'd be more of a healthy beating and not a rage kill

haha yup. And if they are getting their samples from sperm banks, I guess I would consider the source before trying to dive too deep into conclusions.

If I had to draw one of those police artist renderings of the driver, I'm pretty sure this is what I would have come up with anyway.

It is scary and depressing that such evil people exist. I don't understand why the mother was only brought in for questioning. She should be arrested.

Talk about a miss-leading headline. No one can be called victim in that court. And it’s not ok to call them the others unless it can be proven.

Costco raised it's minimum wage to $17/hr!

Costco raised its minimum wage to $17 an hour

Costco this week raised its starting wage for hourly store workers in the United States for the second time this year as businesses hike pay to draw and retain workers amid a labor shortage.

I understand all that, and it's true. The thing now is that the lack of workers is driving it much faster than it would have gone otherwise. Jobs that were previously done by people and that really weren't necessarily "ripe" for automation are being automated anyway, because companies literally can't find the people to fill them. I purchase equipment based on how quick of an roi it produces, same as everyone else. My timeline for ROI keeps stretching because even if the machine takes longer to pay for itself than I normally would like, it shows up to work everyday.

Ain't no robot working the system like I can!

"It appears we’re in a golden age of the Cannonball Run. But then again, considering the challenge is illegal and highly dangerous to both the drivers themselves and the people they pass at high speeds while hopped-up on caffeine pills, it may be more accurately a dark age, depending on your perspective.
