I'm pretty sure Stetson (the company) makes them, but I'm not sure if Im going to pony the cash up without checking out a hat first. I actually do want a straw one - my cattleman is black felt with a silver clasp, so it looks kind of silly without my frock coat (or at least white shirt and black pants, looks too formal).

Actually I was curious just now and it looks like they sell at a store in town (in Minnesota!) so I'll have to check it out.

My dad also likes the pinch front, he always claimed it was easier on the crown.

I mean if you don't own a Stetson are you even from the states?

What do you wear riding your horse into the city to sign that paperwork for the new drill site?

I'm in this meme and I don't like it

Poverty is always a liability. In the healthcare system, poverty raises the costs for everyone else when they don't get things treated or prevented.

What bothers me is that there is a whole bunch of financial types who seem to blissfully ignore liabilities. "Those are unrealized costs," when it should be "those are ticking time bombs." If you don't mitigate liabilities like through well regulated utilities those ticking time bombs will always have bigger consequences when they ARE realized.

And is actually pretty on par for a Facist government

It turns out, a lot of people do feel a bit of shame for the way they vote.

Not like that they actually feel bad for fucking over so many people, but they don't like looking like they are helping so many people getting fucked over.

And the military. And everyone who enjoys a heads up about a tornado before it can kill you. Or the flood.

Florida rebounds really quick after a hurricane. I do have coworkers in Florida, at most they are out for a day or two.

It's been 4 so far for Houston. And I'm not talking a hurricane which won't impact most of the state, I'm talking about any power outage across the state.

It's a bigger economic problem than people are talking about. I have a manager who works from Houston. He can't work right now. Several other coworkers as well.

At some point, employers will have to consider the liability of employing someone in Texas, simply because a power outage could seriously impact them.

Of course it's theatre. The GOP won't approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.

If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn't think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.

Now it's out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say "I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn't have my best interests in mind."

So yeah it's theatre. It'd be pretty stupid to not make this big.

Ah, well. That explains AOC filing articles of impeachment now.

You don't accept bribes from internal to the U.S. but you DEFINITELY don't accept bribes from ENEMIES of the U.S.
