Our little town has an odd trash collection system (workers in buggies come down the driveway to pick up trash from back and side yards... you don't take cans to the street). One of the most consistently entertaining topics on the neiborhood FB is newcomers losing their minds over trash collection

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it
It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

Plot twist... we got a 2017 Subaru Legacy that was priced between the other 2. 💸
Do I go for the cheapest (both price and insurance) for a 15-year-old Nissan Rogue or spend more for a 6-year-old Subaru Outback? Or do I just kick the decision to January?

This is the kind of thing I would fund if I won the lottery. I have a whole plan in place.
For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent.
The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.
Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.
