Thats how Casey Neistat got his youtube start back in 2012 or so.

The bike lane in NYC was blocked by some bullshit, so he peddled over into the road and a cop ticketed him for riding in the road. So he decided to just ride straight into any obstacle in the bike lane, including construction, delivery trucks, and cop cars. The video went viral, which back then meant something.

The kicker? The ticket was bullshit. He broke no laws by joining the lane. The cop just made shit up and fined him $50, which he unknowingly paid.

Buying things is literally the economy. People spending money into it improves the economy directly. The velocity of money is a key part of a working market, and the rich impart very little of their wealth into it.

The job was literally called "computers." People that did long and tedious calculations to output mathematical tables.

The extra panel hidden by the red button is also a great magic school bus callback.

Not surprised Thiels/Musks paypal/venmo are onboard.

This is just an absurd attempt to derail arguments about fair taxation by waiving a red herring around about people being able to voluntarily increase their own taxes, as if asking for a fair system is the same as utterly destroying your own solvency.

Sounds like someone separated his brain from his body to either sell to medical science, a university, or the army, and instead fucked it up.

Maybe legal, probably not. Its common in the US, and deeply fucked up.

I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with a job.

Yes, its more work, but it makes all the "huge and terrible" problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job anymore, so you actually do get better mentally.

Then, if the job search is good or the second job is enough, quit that first fucker and be totally done with all the stress.

City has 10 parallel car heavy paths to get from point A to B : normal, good, as it should be.

City has 9 parallel car heavy paths and 1 person/bike/transit path to get from point A to B : A travesty, doom for business, the unraveling of all civilization.

It was her grandma's and it was rent controlled, so the rent was not allowed to go up since the 70s. She was illegally subletting it.
