Adding to that thought, you used to also have grandparents and elder family members who had the time and inclination to help out. This was especially true for those of us who were born to boomers. But now those people of that same age are having to work as things like greeters at Walmart just to be able to pay their own bills. So they don’t have the leisure time anymore to assist with raising grandchildren.

Hello fellow PNW person. I am likely one of those people. I try to represent the good side of this example whenever possible.

Also have a tiny ev that is my daily driver, especially in the city where parking a full size pickup is just not worth it. That said, on the days when my partner needs the car for longer trips and I have to take my truck around for chores, I’m constantly on alert to not be a dick.

I think this is honestly how a lot of folks are around here. It’s a little different when you head out east but near civilization, I am generally given hope.

A sincere thank you for infecting me with this affliction. My life will never be the same.

Read the article then read the top 2 comments and landed here. The thread is over everyone. Pack your hot takes and move along.

This is a really interesting idea. Seems similar to running a public library but as a private entity.

I’m sure there’s a thousand ways rights holders would invent new bullshit to make this immediately illegal.

Been a fan since Images and Words, finally saw them last year. Can confirm the live show is incredible.

Can’t wait to catch another one.

I like you. You have the same taste as me.

Cattle has been on a streak the last decade or so. 4 or 5 albums that are all incredible.

A guy I grew up with playing music and working odd jobs for his dad is now a hardcore right wing influencer.

His family was very progressive (still are as far as I know) and we lived in a staunchly blue part of the country. Hell, we wrote songs that were hyper critical of the govt and authoritarian systems.

Now he’s screeching to a million plus followers and participating in counter protests as a pro-maga mouthpiece.

I am sure it has to be for money. He was always an egomaniac. Between that and the dopamine hit of a good grift, it has to be. I just can’t resolve in my own heart that he’s truly gone to the dark side.
