Is it ok to ask why you weren't able to live with your ball python before now? Was it a matter of them being banned where you live or something along those lines? If it's out of line to ask, dont worry about it, sorry ^^;;

You're fine! Yeah, my apartment complex, which we chose primarily due to lack of animal restrictions or ridiculous pet rents, decided after a year that reptiles were banned, no reason given and no grandfathered exceptions. -_- Also only gave us a week's notice before lease renewal, and that was only because an office person remembered I had several animals and personally wanted to give me a heads up. We weren't able to handle moving on such short notice, so Charis went to live with my partners.

Just had an attempted break in and robbery at my place so.... that's fun. And as usual, the local cops are too busy harassing the homeless and marginalized communities to actually help.

US minimum wage activists face their toughest foe: Democrat Joe Manchin

Party’s most conservative senator, from one of the poorest states, has advocated for a rise only to $11 an hour – but workers say it’s not enough

With only a razor-thin majority in the Senate, all 50 Democrat senators need to be onboard for the bill to pass. But in addition to Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has told Politico she does not want the minimum wage increase to be part of the Covid relief package.

[...] “I’m supportive of basically having something that’s responsible and reasonable,” [Manchin] told the Hill. He has advocated for a rise to $11.

None of this has found favor with some low-wage workers in a state where an estimated 278,734 West Virginians lived in poverty in 2019, 16% of the population and the sixth highest poverty rate in the US.

[...] When Griffith told Manchin about her plight on Thursday, she said he asked about the $600 stimulus check approved by Congress in December. “He seemed to think that $600 … was enough to get me by,” she said. “I feel like he’s got his head in the clouds and he doesn’t understand what’s happening to poor people in West Virginia.”

[... A]ccording to MIT’s living wage calculator, even a $15 minimum wage would only provide a living wage for single West Virginians without children. For a West Virginia family with two working parents and two children, both parents would need to be making at least $20.14 an hour to make ends meet.
