What exactly do you propose the "normies" do? Is there some non-corporation making road-worthy cars? No? Let me guess, you want a family of 5 to bike 2 hours to the nearest school/park/grocery store in the snow on rural roads with no shoulder just to avoid paying a corporation? Take the nonexistent train?

I'd like to see a more recent one, since it seems the pandemic spurred a lot of the price gouging. Our minimum wage has gone up $3 since 2019.
Also, since there's not a huge difference in Big Mac prices between states, I'm wondering if national chains are using the min wage increase in a few states to increase prices across the board, rather than just increasing prices in the states with high minimums.
They also allowed overcrowding. You could basically put a Subway right next to another Subway if you wanted. 3-4 in a single neighborhood. Corporate does not care if the franchisees make any money.
And I would disagree with OP's definition entirely. What they describe sounds more like reputation or social standing, not honor.
If you live anywhere that has extreme temperatures, your car will last longer if you park it inside. Bonus, you don't have to scrape the snow off and sit there idling for 10 min to warm it up in the winter.
I think that may be similar to what we have in Washington state. All employees pay something like $2 from each paycheck into the FMLA program and you can use it for maternity leave as well as other family health emergencies. It's a state program so I don't think the employer has to pay anything. I don't know how many other states have programs like this but it would be nice if there was a federal one.
Retail and restaurants are unlikely to give you 4-12 weeks of even unpaid time off. No way would they pay anyone for that much time off unless they were forced to. Not saying this to defend them, but restaurant margins can't absorb that kind of cost unless it's a large non-franchised chain.
If you have an international layover, you have to go through customs and then recheck your bags and go through security again. Airlines now (not sure if this is some or all of them, or how long this has been policy) will only let you check your bag within 4 hours of your departing flight. So one time I had an 8 hour layover, where I couldn't get back into the airport for 4 hours.
You're supposed to "be IN the world, not OF the world."
It means that while you technically live here, among other people, you're supposed to hold yourself apart from whatever those people are doing. It leads to a whole "that's not meant for me" mindset where you avoid learning new things because that might make you too knowledgeable and worldly. Like, you could befriend non-Mormons, but it really should be for the purposes of converting them, not to get to know them or have a diverse social circle. You shouldn't let any of THEM influence YOU in any way. Mormons are weird.
I just looked it up. Normally the DNC can pick any VP candidate and run them. IF, however, there is a vacancy in the Whitehouse (if Biden steps down, Kamala does not have an elected VP) THEN Congress does have to approve the VP nominee. So yeah, do NOT let Biden resign the presidency. That would be a disaster.
Well then, I guess you should send the video to the DNC, since some YouTuber apparently knows more than the entire political apparatus that does this for a living and somehow doesn't know how anything about how elections work. Do you really think they would be stupid enough to change everything without first making sure their plan was even possible?
I just couldn't believe that after all those years living completely different and separate lives, neither of them changed their hair at all. And since the adult twins were played by the same actor, I couldn't tell them apart aside from clothing.
