This is so specific, but shoe brands made specifically for plantar fasciitis. It is debilitating when it flares up, and having the right shoes — not just arch supports, but a whole shoe designed to support the foot the right way — is key to long-term management.

Amendments 4 and 5 are losing close to or more than 80-20 in absentees in Jefferson County. I think it's safe to say that Missouri will not attempt to phase out the income tax or make it harder to amend the state constitution.

Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d agoI think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

As I've said before: What high-paying long-term jobs do they pretend exist here? A data center isn't a place where execs come and do Big Deals. Go to the server room at your workplace; are there lots of rich people in there spending money?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
