I stole this from somewhere — can’t recall where now — but someone said that tattoos are like velvet Elvis art, just for the body.
I concur. I think that’s why I dislike them so much.

I don’t think people outside realize how non-existent small business lending is.
A person who makes $100k/year can borrow $400k at 3% over 30 for a house.
A business than makes $100k/year can borrow like $30k at 12% over 5 years to expand. https://t.co/cqKG7Z1IHb

This is true. The small business I used to work for had low multi-million dollar revenue per year, stable contracts, and guaranteed income due to those long-term contracts.
The credit limit on their business credit card was $5,000 and the bank would not increase it. They also basically could not get any sort of small business loan if they’d wanted one. By contrast, a large business which has far more risk gets nearly non-interest loans as needed.
And people wonder why there are fewer small businesses now. That’s one of the many reasons.
Wish I Didn’t Know
It’s been strange to realize that liberals want just as much a stratified, regimented world as conservatives, just aligned along different axes.

It’s now defined by how you feel in your heart…until it explodes from obesity.
Hiding from the truth means the truth can and will still find you.
Nuking
I agree that the US should not have dropped atomic weapons on Japan in WWII.
However, I also have disputes with the revisionists. Most of them assume the US had perfect knowledge of the deliberations inside the Japanese government, the imperial mindset, and that we knew the disposition and the intentions of the Soviet forces. Furthermore, they assume the US had perfect forecasting capability for their own ability to prosecute a fight into Japanese territory.
None of this is true. War is a cloud of chaos where little is known and much is assumed, usually incorrectly. The revisionists seem to miss this completely because they are academics and have never experienced military life of any kind, much less combat.

In my field, it’s:
The Job Interview: We’re a cutting-edge company with the latest technology. We care about innovation and gettings things done.
The Job: Here, debug this VBScript from 1998. Bob from Accounting wrote it, but he died seven years ago. Also, it’s production-critical. We know you’re not a developer or in Accounting, but no one else knows enough to try.
