And here is the list of Trump's wars from people who know how to count:

yeah you just have to find words that are unique to the thing you're buying.

I usually searched for 1942 army greatcoat, since those words are pretty unique.

Just one more thing Obama is better at than Trump

yeah, the jeans I bought weren't recycled, but they do have a system for recycling them when they're worn out.

I bought a 1942 army great coat off of ebay, lots of them up there. I bought a 1980's navy peacoat at a random vintage store somewhere around Alphabet City in NYC. Be aware that most people size those coats 4-6 down because they're meant to go over multiple thick shirts, blouses, and midlayers in military use, but with a normal shirt and sweater you don't need them so large.

I think it depends on exactly what item you're looking for. Plenty of vintage coats out there, I just bought two 40+ yo military wool coats this season since my old jacket is wearing out and isn't that stylish. There's probably local jeans manufacturers that also recycle fabric, like Jeansverket in Sweden. Rose Anvil on YouTube is a good source for finding boots that will last decades.

There is definitely enshittification out there, but it's not impossible to find BIFL out there.

First, blaming 67 deaths on any controller or pilot is dispicable, especially before the FAA has had a chance to begin their investigation. No one nor their families deserves to go through this abuse in the middle of their grieving.

Second, Trump's own fucking pilots don't even listen to ATC instructions at DCA. Trump should check his own hiring policies before he starts blaming deaths on others.

This is a total shutdown of the federal government for everything besides personnel. All science research in the US has stopped. States are losing their funding. Completely unconstitutional.

Yes, the renters in my coop are required to pay rent to the coop, some of that rent goes to the ISP we have a contract with for internet and phone, as well as to the cable company we have a contract with for TV. It is not possible for renters to choose a different ISP or cable provider.

The renters don't have voting rights in the coop, but they are represented by the renters' union for determining rent and negotiating renovations (essentially rent control).

I will say that apartment coops in sweden have extremely cheap internet due to collective pricing for internet. I pay $10 a month for 1000/1000. Currently talking with our ISP about replacing the switches and wiring in the basement to fiber so that we can get 10gbit.

I can see why requiring an opt-out option would be good though, especially when you don't have democratic representation in your choice of collective ISP.

You could have a lot of fun with email spoofing replies to that email.
