Virginia is home to a SHIT ton of defense contractors. If it was broken down by county, the Northern Virginia and the eastern counties would probably be all professional services and the rest would be healthcare.

Pft. Rookie numbers. I've been leaving work 1-4 hours early as meetings allow.

The sad reality is that good journalism is expensive but no one wants to pay for it.

Even we, the readers who benefit from it, rarely want to actually pay for it.

Sadly yes. Ever since he became a "philanthropist", people come out of the woodwork to say he's "one of the good ones". I have to remind them that he may be "good" now but he can still pay his fucking taxes and be better.

Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.

There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.

One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was "tell them to serve me papers."

Never heard from them again.

It's not incompetence.

It's indignant.

They know they are getting away with it and there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do to stop it. None of his followers are going to stop worshipping him as a result.

Because they want to oppress people.

Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn't turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.

Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.

They blame Obama on things that Trump has explicitly caused.

Be careful with that question because they will blame everything except themselves.

Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.

And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply "a warm body, but don't be woke".

Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want "education" to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we'll pay the price in about 10 years.

No. That's the point of an open primary. You can vote in either party's primarily.

I'm in a pretty red district. My primary vote is more powerful when voting Republican.
