  1. My grandfather probably taught me more than anyone else about sticking it to The Man. Dissatisfied with their representation, he was part of forming a new labor union. One of their first demands was equal pay and breaks for women - at the time, women weren't only paid less, but entitled to shorter breaks, per corporate. Naturally, the company's first offer was to slash the men's pay and benefits. They went on strike. And, you know what? The community supported striking workers. Grocers extended credit. People would respect the picket line. He fought, really sacrificed, for what so many of my generation (and even my parents') take for granted, and even discarded. His brother fought in the Army for WWII, despite not even being a US citizen, and went on to enlist in the Navy for Korea an 'Nam. Anyway, long story short, the last things I told my grandpa were - "I love you," and "We beat Trump." He acknowledged both, through the veil of near-death sleep. I guess that'll have to be enough.

  6. @mrmattimation "But what good is a guess or estimate, based on this moment in time, if it can't accurately guarantee a match to the hard realities of a totally different timespace configuation to follow??"

  23. @thismightbeauser I think they completed the first run of 50 states a while ago, and have gone into a couple cycles of state-themed stuff, like birds or trees or something, but we've been on a "coin shortage" all pandemic so I haven't seen quarters in weeks at least, lol
