Since this service is free, I expect Az is taxing the retailers somehow. Perhaps it's something like the Honey scam.

I'll bet you can't pay with an Az giftcard or credit balance.

Some of the stuff in the freezer section is pretty high quality. I recently got a shrimp entree on sale that could easily pass for restaurant quality.

Also, don't sleep on frozen vegetables. The quality is second only to fresh and you can also get "restaurant" versions covered in cheese, butter, and even roasted.

Even though a purple State, Georgia's literal political map is designed to keep State power from the citizens of Atlanta. Rural voters and reactionary politics like 'tough on crime', have been dominant there since the failure of Reconstruction.

Yankee politics is wild to me. Where I live, all the politicians are competing to copy Trump in style, but emulating his open and consequence-free corruption is a bold move, Cotton.

I don't think that subjective means arbitrary. A book may mean different things to different people, but that doesn't mean that one interpretation is as good as any other. Or that reason is abandoned in the process of forming a subjective idea.

For 2022, TX is indeed the leader in abuse/neglect deaths, but as an absolute number (176), not by population.

No2 is CA so they're statistically just as dangerous, maybe a little more than TX, but what shocked me was GA! Georgia is in competition with TX and CA despite having a quarter the population. At the same time they're blowing past states like NY and FL. So the real question is WTF is going on in the Peach State?

Protectionism and isolationism have a robust tradition in American left politics. But even so, Unions have their own interests and American history is full of examples where Unions have opposed progressive policy. They are one of the biggest obstacles to universal healthcare for example.

Jon Stewart hasn't changed, and that's the problem. As far as his comedy, no notes. He's undeniably funny. But his politics just leave a sour taste. His enlightened centrist voice of reason shtick hits different now.

He's defended people like Rogan and Chapelle. And I get it, they're his buddies. He doesn't see them as public figures, but as flawed individuals. And that's a valid perspective, just a rarefied one.

His first guest upon his return was the editor of The Economist magazine who gushed about Reaganomics and Thatcherism. She framed the rise of right-wing politics in the West as first and foremost a threat to the neoliberal world order as Jon nodded along. And we all know that progressiveism is just the other side of the horseshoe to people who think this way.

I'll be watching Stewart, and I really do admire him. But never meet your heroes I guess.
