Dual income homeowners with healthy retirement funds. The fucked up thing is 1 million dollars isn't that impressive anymore -- you can easily spend that in retirement living a middle class lifestyle in the USA. Particularly when you factor in age related medical expenses and elder care.
It's not like our retirement, healthcare, and elder care systems are catastrophically broken or anything.

Yeah ... it almost certainly won't. The world's largest economy and millitary will still be unmatched, except now they're under the control of mask-off christofascists. They're evil, but unfortunately they're not stupid.
Everyone in the free world will be in for a bad time to varying degrees. I can promise you the new regime won't be isolationists.
It's a dumb action, and this is from someone that supports direct action. How people are talking about an action is critical: the context matters.
The first thing people are going to ask is "why did you do this?" and the answer needs to make sense. Throwing soup on an oil exec, painting their office, etc -- something sparks a conversation in a way you can exploit to further the cause.
"Vandalizing" a famous piece of art not even tangentially related to your cause is just going to make people think you're an asshole and shuts down that potential for a productive discussion.
I wouldn’t want to live close to a dispensary, there’s almost always a “stench”.
I pass by dispensarys all the time and never notice a smell. The only places that smell are those that allow smoking on premise -- which with our state's indoor smoking laws are very rare.
It's no different than tobacco, really.
... I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.
That's one way to do it.
Or avionics companies could sell modern equipment that uses multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), is capable of acquiring more satellites at a time than a 20 year old system, and has basic jamming protection like ignoring spurious signals. You know: like consumer devices have been doing for years.
Then the commercial operators could install them in their aircraft.

Unions, blegh.
I was forced into a union at my job, and it's horrible. We get tons of time off, full benefits, protection from our employers when they try to violate the contract or do something illegal, and great pay. I'm currently set to retire at 55 years old, with over $10,000 a month income between my pension and 457b.
I mean, what the hell is my $100 a month in union dues doing for me!?
Fascists love starting wars.
They're a great way to silence critics and boost support through "us vs them patriotism". They're the perfect distraction from domestic issues and an excuse for consolidating power. They're also great for making a boatload of money.
ANTAGEN dishbrush. I was at IKEA and saw they had dish brushes for less than a dollar a piece, so I stocked up on a few.
They last forever as far as dish brushes are concerned. It did clean-up for 2 large meals every single day for over a year before it started getting worn out. We'd throw it in the dishwasher at night to clean and sterilize it.
I joined a smaller instance that more fits my interests, but is still federated with the "popular" ones I like. So far it works great.
Especially bad when you consider the elevator shouldn't have fallen in the first place.
Elisha Otis invented his automatic elevator brakes in 1853 -- designed to instantly stop cars from falling if the cables snap ... and the Empire State Building used Otis safety elevators.
Given how dead simple and reliable the safety mechanism is something must have gone horrible wrong.
