Wow this sucks
Replying to @SouthwestAir
@SouthwestAir has really figured out this whole assigned seating thing. 42 people on the flight and we are all jammed into 7 rows. And they won’t let us move. And we were not given an option for a different seat at booking. Good call to switch to this system!
You mean ice.
Heavy snow, freezing rain & cold temps are expected across many states this weekend, which could cause damage and widespread power outages. While forecasts may continue to shift, now is the time to prepare. Know what to do if you get a winter storm watch or warning in your area.

ALT Winter Storm Watch means be prepared. A Winter Storm Watch is issued when heavy snow, sleet, or freezing rain is possible. Be prepared to adjust travel plans in case a Warning is issued. Winter Storm Warning means take action! A Winter Storm Warning is issued when heavy snow, sleet, or freezing rain is expected. Travel will become dangerous. Delay or adjust travel plans until conditions improve.

The last time stagflation gripped the U.S. was in the 1970s. Oil shocks drove prices higher while growth slowed.
The Fed hiked rates sky-high to crush inflation, triggering back-to-back recessions.
Today, the risks are even sharper with higher debt and fragile supply chains.

🚨 The Fed’s worst nightmare is here: Stagflation.
Growth is stalling, unemployment is rising, and inflation is still sticky.
And today’s payrolls confirmed it: just 22,000 jobs were added in August.

Thread. And no, it's not sentient. This has to do with how specific models have been trained. It's not the behavior of a living being trying to survive. It's just a training pattern.

August 13, 1981...The Economic Recovery Tax Act was signed into law, deeply cutting taxes for wealthy and corporations. Top income tax rate went from 70% to 50%.
October 22, 1986...Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act, bringing the top income tax rate down to 28%
It's 37% now

Imagine a private health insurance co. worth over 60 billion dollars (5 years ago, in 2018 --- so you know it's a lot more now) trying to make it seem as though it is a "hardship" for them to cover your asthma inhaler. (See pinned post on profile for context. #disabilityrights

I'm writing a new book.
It's called THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP.
It will be out in 2024.

My writing students have been learning for years that @sarahkendzior is both a master stylist and a master of American culture. This new book promises to be as infuriating, devastating, brilliant, and irresistible as all of her work is. Highest anticipatory recommendation!
