Wage and Debt
If you get in any arguments online with Americans you probably have an opinion about minimum wage. Mine is that the real minimum wage is $0. If you can’t or won’t do the work for the wage they pay then you will not get paid at all. To show the hypocrisy of any other argument…

Spoons
One of my favorite cartoon characters is The Tick. His battlecry is “Spoon!” It confuses his enemies. On the other hand “spoons” is used in disability community to talk about energy and capabilities. If I have a lot of spoons then I can do more and do it better. If I have less spoons I’m…

Cake and Iced Tea
I woke up late because I stayed up late. I’m still tired. But I joked to Stephanie that this was like shooting myself in the foot and then complaining that my foot hurts. I’m awake and have eaten a little so far. Cake and iced tea for breakfast. I need to make better choices if…

36 Hours

The Problem with Illegal
Chattel Slavery is illegal in the USA. Stephanie and I are arguing whether it persists and is federally sanctioned. I believe most of the actual slavery is a matter of criminal cartels. Federal law enforcement can throw all its resources in that direction and still end up losing to organized crime. Stephanie believes that the…

“This is the Life”
Ben is sitting next to me listening to Weird Al. “This is the Life” is a fun song. “Women lined up outside my door/They’ve been waiting there since a week before.” “You’re dead for a real long time/ You just can’t prevent it/ So if money can’t buy happiness/ I guess I’ll have to rent…

Identifying as Christian
I had a long conversation today with a friend who is worried that I find it hard to identify as a Christian. We typed about how the things I actually believe probably indicate that I am not a Christian at all. It only makes sense that I don’t pretend to be something I am probably…
