I don’t have the personality to run a business unless I am the lone human in it. And there’s no inventory. And no production of actual things. And no real life interaction with anybody.

I think we're related. 

It's like those "Restaurant Rescue" shows.  The owner loved to cook and is a good chef.  Wants to buy a restaurant and fails.  Most of the show is about how to run a business with a bit of lipstick on the building.  Yeah, you do need good cooks.  But 80% of the effort of a restaurant is business, not cooking.

Excellent story!  Congratulations to your grandson and to his supporting family!

Yes they do. Years ago I had a serious injury to the index finger on my right hand, arguably my most important digit.

Although some days it's the middle finger that's the most used.

Ah, the zings!  Right up the finger if I move just wrong.  It's better now that it's just numb.  Nerves are pretty amazing things.

In related news, the Boy Scouts are removing the term “boy” from their name.

I’m so sick of this shit.

What's interesting is that the Girl Scouts are retaining the Girl part of their name.  That's clearly sexist and non-inclusionary.  But let's see what happens when a 40 year old man that identifies as a 10 year old girl tries to join.

Guess it costs too much to rebrand "Girl Scout Cookies".

There's a reason boys need one on one time with men and other boys.

But that would prevent the pussifying of America!

I believe that the new gender-neutral term is "chestfeeding".  Ew. And Yuck.

Necropost!!  Once again FJB is trying to buy votes by "forgiving" student loans.  I tried to explain this to my niece.  She said that the taxpayer is not involved in any of this.  The loan just goes away.  I had to patiently explain that the taxpayer is completely involved with this.  The money is borrowed from the taxpayer (government) and given to the university through the student.  That's the loan.  The loan is now "forgiven".  The university has the money.  The taxpayer (government) paid that money.  The taxpayer (government) will not get that money paid back from the student. 

That made no sense, so I tried again...
You loan me $1000.  Later on, you forgive that loan.  Where is the money?  I have it.  Who lost money on the deal?  You did.  I no longer have to pay you back that $1000.  Why would you forgive that loan?  To get something back.  So I says, "like votes?"

I then had to explain that the first 80% of the loan's life you're paying only interest and no principle if you make only the minimum payment.  This person is supposedly college educated.  Dumb as a rock.  Yeah, the taxpayers got their money's worth there.
