gwydion* Minimum wage for Tipped workers is still $2.30 an hour as it hasn't been raised in twenty years. They re taxed as if they made regular minimum which means that if the shift is slow they are literal working for nothing.

* Dear Justice Scalia:
* The real reasons for the racial wealth gap:
* Senator Jeff Sessions lies about "welfare" figures in order to prove we are coddling the poor. After all, reality has a liberal bias, so why not be wildly dishonest in order to make more people homeless. After all, it's totally their fault they weren't born wealthy:

* I'm scary sick. Fantasizing about the oxygen tanks at the hospital having to wake up every two hours because I'm suffocating sick. There is no chance of medical help until Monday. Of course. I'm wondering how bad my breathing has to be to justify a hospital visit to Medicare. Seriously, the hospital sounds RESTFUL at this point. *shudder* Earlier in the week, I was looking forward to some friends visiting today, but I outright forgot when my world narrowed trying to figure out how to keep breathing without my head rattling off my shoulders. The poor bastards came all the way out here, and I had to turn them away, lest I give them this nightmare mutant lung thing. Meanwhile the Butt is scary sick too. He's barely eating, and in the last week has lost so much weight, he's Hector skinny with all his extra skin hanging down like drapes. Squirrel got him a vet appointment for Monday.
