Shred green cabbage and saute in olive oil at high temperature. Add chopped carrots and raw shelled sunflower seeds.

The Paradox of "Rich People" and Views
Scenic views (properties with panoramic ocean, mountain, or skyline vistas), the obsession comes down to scarcity, status, and psychology: • Supply and demand: Land with an unobstructed view is physically limited. Because only a tiny fraction of the population can own it, it acts as an immediate, permanent symbol of exclusivity and power. • Psychological well-being: Studies on biophilia and spatial psychology show that elevated, open views reduce cortisol (stress hormones) and signal safety and dominance—offering a literal and figurative "above-it-all" perspective.

People like to say "we're not going to vote our way out of this," and there is some truth there, insofar as voting is one lever among many for effecting change, and we will need to use all levers, I think. But I know that Nazis v. much don't want us to vote. So let's not give Nazis what they want.
And while it may be true that "we're not going to vote our way out of this," it also occurs to me we're not going to stay-home our way out of this. So get on out there. All the other levers of change will still be there tomorrow, and we should all put our weight on them. Today, do the today thing.
Why shouldn't I hate her? She did the worst thing to me that anyone can do to anyone else. Let them believe that they're loved and wanted and then show them that it's all a sham.
