@annbauerwriter@plattMSP Organic Farmer here. I found an old 2012 invoice book yesterday. Was selling salad to stores for $5.50 a lb and restaurants $6 a lb. I just this year raised my price to $6.75 a lb. Some produce items hadn’t increased at all. Or why farmers never take vacations.
@annbauerwriter@AppleNews I remember in the mid-80's I spent a year traveling in Oz, NZ, SE Asia and seeing the news from a non-American vantage point was game-changing. Is there no decent international news source anymore?

@Babygravy9 It's the premeditated hitting that's different. The planned hitting. That's creepy. As a parent, of now-adults, I can't imagine doing that. To anyone, let alone the most important people in my life, in a completely unbalanced power dynamic.

@Supersonic_Red True story - not so many years ago I was tired and distracted at the gas station and told the attendant I wanted "unleaded regular". And I found an old typewriter, put a piece of paper in to show my kids, and just typed out my maiden name. Muscle memory.
@future42org@BThompsonNews@KIRO7Seattle Oregon is right behind you. Same overtime laws, currently 48 hours, dropping every year to reach 40. Legislators and activists unfamiliar with the nature of seasonal work.
@Mr_Husky1 Too bad the kids around you haven't gotten chicken pox. They would have "re-innoculated" you and you wouldn't get shingles. That's how things used to work.
