It’s been 13 years since we raised the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour. That’s the longest period without a raise in the history of the minimum wage. That is egregious.

@AlliFlowers
OK, I'll send the Rainbow by Airmail tomorrow.
Might take a while due to all the strikes but, when it gets there, you'll know 😃
I expect a picture!

@pburke46 And it happens regularly. Two months ago I paid $190 for a colonoscopy prep.

I don’t know how people who are less fortunate than I am can stay healthy.

Did I mention that one of the bottles of eye drops I need for tomorrow’s surgery cost $375? Insurance doesn’t cover it. At all.

Fortunately, I found a Bausch and Lomb program that brings the cost down to $80. EIGHTY DOLLARS!

This is the problem with “big pharma.”

Bleh. Bibi shouldn’t be allowed back into Israeli politics any more than Trump should be let back into US politics.

@MaskedRacerX No reason to use that kind of language! Honestly!

It’s a great movie. I think I’ll be watching it a few more times, too. But come Christmas Eve, I’m still gonna be watching Die Hard.

@Jkp If I can’t see better after cataract surgery, then makeup is the least of my problems. LOL

Don’t let anyone tell you Joe Biden is not an astute political operator. Inviting Zelenskyy to the White House and an address to a joint session of Congress smothers the runts of the political litter who want to abandon Ukraine.

Biden’s leadership has been nothing short of phenomenal as he’s helped build a global coalition to assist Ukraine.

Thank you Mr President.

Tomorrow morning, prior to the crack of dawn, I will be getting the first cataract removed. In two weeks I’ll have the other one removed. Then I might start wearing makeup again!

I just watched Spirited for the 3rd time. I may have a problem.

Good name for a guy with cat scratches all over his arms and legs:

Claude.

#GovAbbott trying to keep us from being paranoid by insisting that the grid will not fail. Personally, I don't think the grid will fail this time. I am very aware of the differences between this freeze and the April 2021 freeze. But he, PUC, and #ERCOT are known liars. I wouldn't trust our them with any of our lives. Once that trust is broken, you shouldn't be allowed to stay in office. Yet, here we are. Another cold front, another pit at the bottom of our stomachs.
