Anarchy seems more likely to mr than fascism in the aftermath of such an election outcome. Trump has too many haters for there to be a peaceful transition this time.

I believe you can grow them as long as they are more than 150 feet from a white pine tree. The plants were originally banned because they were blamed for some sort of disease that jeopardized the lumber industry.

Yes. It is your fault if some company got hacked because your screensaver didn’t come on for 30 minutes. Climate change is also your fault because you didn’t recycle that yogurt container. Likewise that listeria poisoning you got you shouldn’t have eaten at that restaurant chain.

Biden is a neoliberal centrist. If leftists vote for him it is because they have no other choice. It is why his support is so weak at the grass roots. And so strong amongst the capitalist elites. His far right opponent is a racist and crook, but runs a strong populist game. Those are our only two choices.

I think it would be uncanny if a partner didn’t grow, age, and evolve with you and the world around you. Nothing seems to stay the same. While one dimension may fade away, others emerge. If you are lucky, you get to grow old. Daydreaming about starting over, trying something new, and feeling young again is natural. At least with current technology, it is mostly just daydreams.

Often the VC’s, if they have control of the company, will bring in “gray hair” managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They’ll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.
