My very first job was in Minnesota and the snow is not what you have to be afraid of.
It’s the damn frigid temperatures. My wife and I quit our jobs, broke our lease, packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.

With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.
Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.
I am of the opinion that most “supply” issues are due to investors. Except in certain geographic areas we do not have a shortage of actual physical housing. What we have is a shortage of available housing at a mixed pricepoints for purchase.
All housing that investors purchase for rentals removes it from the supply.
Traditionally investors have sought out entry level housing for rent. They invest in building rental complexes. They make all cash purchases and then rent it out to people who otherwise would have been first-time homebuyers. Investors used to be the low end offer. Blatant price fixing has increased rent outrageously. Now investors are the high end offer and removing supply constantly.
With AirB&B, the middle and even upper range market that traditionally has had less investor competition is now a major target. This has led to price wars for investment purposes on previously safe segments.
The first solution to the housing supply is simple: taxing income from rent so that selling the property is financially more lucrative. It will have to include a prohibition against rental increases to cover the taxes as well.
The second is to mandate zoning and new construction to match the market needs not the needs of the investors.
Last would be to create a program where builders who focus on entry level housing receive incentives from governments (also include hefty penalty for substandard construction).
Staggered based upon gross income just like personal taxes.
Tiny businesses 5% Small businesses 25% Mid sized companies 50%. Mega-corporations wth billions - 95%
Likely had a long list of disciplinary actions against him that daddy squashed with a nice big donation.
Based on the rest of his life I would guess, sexual assault, cheating, plagiarism, bullying, hazing, and chronic absenteeism.
If you compared wait times in Canada versus wait times in the U.S., Canada would probably be shorter overall.
The U.S. system creates artificial shortages in many different areas. They seek optimal profitablity by staffing slightly below what the need requires. This shortage justifies charging higher prices.
You can also probably blame some of the long wait times in Canada for things on the U.S. Specialist in the U.S. make a lot more money.
My best guess based upon the old perverted felons he associates with:
…To rape teen girls and young women so that their “superior” genetics can be passed on to more offspring.
I feel dirty now…
Introduced in the late 90’s if I recall correctly. He should the the older pension that guaranteed income.
I had that T-shirt as well. Wore it to school all the time. Never got a comment on it.
A very strategic pick.
His wiki page reads like a check-list to attract the republican women voters.

“Think of the children” (both him and his wife were teachers).
Did Richard “Gerbil” Gere say that?
If you noticed in the article, most of these schools are based on Utah. It combines two things that Mormons are very good at: abusing teenagers and making
money in dubious/illegal ways.
The state laws are lax, the child protective services and schools are underfunded, and culturally parents attempt to exert extreme control over their teenagers and barely adults.
Jobs was his own worst enemy for a while on the compatibility issue.
New OS launches- all your old programs don’t work on it.
Want to use a floppy to transfer files between a Dos/Win and a Mac? Nope, not compatible. When USB drives started coming out they dropped all support for floppy drives, even in machines with them installed.
Constant driver issues with all sorts of things. Many never got resolved. To be fair the market share for Mac’s was so tiny, offering support for them didn’t make business sense.
Want to play a game? Good luck. The majority of games didn’t work on Mac. Same reason as the drivers.
As for stability issues, for a while I ran a computer lab for a college 50:50 win/Mac machines. They both crashed about equally as often.
For lesser known subjects, a literature review in a dissertation works. It at least gives you a list of papers to review.
Been on my own since I as 17. The first few years were rough to say the least.
I worked 2 jobs, 30-60 hrs per week and went to college. I shared shitty apartments with some pretty creepy people. I moved so constantly I ended up paying for a post office box so I could get my mail. I did not have a vehicle (no car) so I rode a bike for up to 60 miles per day. Even all that wasn’t enough without government grants and student loans to pay for college.
Food was something that I ate when I had it. I spent a few months with mybe 4-5 real meals. Cornflakes and ramen where the bulk of my diet for a while.
I took the first professional job I could find. It was terrible but it paid well. I gained 50lbs to be at a healthy weight the first year. The next few years I jumped around jobs until I landed in one I liked.
The last few weeks before I graduated college I met my wife. Her family has become mine over the past 25 years.
Today my income alone puts us in the top 10% of earners. My wife makes close to the same. At many crucual times in our lifes we’ve taken advantage of government assistance. To be blunt, it’s not possible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You need a helping hand once in a while no matter how small.
This is what happens when unrestricted funds corrupt politics.
Who benefits the most from lower domestic production due to a decrease in the workforce in Florida?
Extremely rich landowners in Mexico, and Central America whose production windows overlap.
Buying a corrupt politician is cheaper than advertising.
We’ve had a constant selection pressure for people who are economically and socially adaptable to move away from small towns since the start of the industrial revolution.
The issue is who is left in the towns. It’s people who are socially and economically highly resistant to change.
What’s interesting is why they are so resistant, studies show it’s an overdeveloped sense of fear. They are terrified of moving to a new location. I know many people who refuse to visit any city because “it’s too dangerous”. People in small towns today live in a constant state of fear. Political and religious organizations have stoked that fear to a fever pitch.
Unsurprisingly, depression and anxiety rates are high in rural communities. Areas that also have poor mental health services. So they use drugs and alcohol at a higher as a form of self-medication.
High value crop consultants - good ones can make a surprising amount of money (200k+) This isn’t your dumbfuck row crops like corn and soy. Think fruit trees, nut trees, viticulture, vegetables, organic production etc.
Many college graduates have a job offers their junior year. Anymore you’ll want to have a double major of biology/Ag.
Weed guys can’t pay me enough. 😉
The lies that people tell themselves. Frostbite says bullshit to that. When it gets that cold staying warm is not easy. Especially when the wind starts to blow.
Cooling down in high heat: A cold drink, sun umbrella, and a ice pack under your hat.
