"Spending time" time is not a commodity to be spent, it is to be used. Even then there are those who question if it's even something to be used, but something to be had |

The American people elected us here to cut spending so we can create an environment for jobs in America. The House has acted. We have demonstrated that we want to see spending, discretionary spending, brought down to levels of 2008. We've seen no counteraction. We have seen no position that has been expressed by the other side at all. |

The care and concern of one human being for another is a peculiar 'commodity.' It can't be stockpiled. It becomes degraded through trade. It isn't delivered by machines. Its quality rests entirely on the attention paid by one person to another. Even to speak of reducing the time involved is to misunderstand its value. |

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic. |

I've spent my entire adult life with the United States as a superpower and one that had no compunction about spending what it took to sustain that position. And it didn't have to look over its shoulder because our economy was so strong. |
| Brooke Adams |
In films, you are a commodity. You are a look, something that the camera really likes, something that has struck an audience in a certain way. It's not really so much about transforming yourself the way actors do onstage. I think there's a difference between the skill of acting in movies and onstage. |

Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand. |
| C. L. R. James |
Today, in American imperialism, the commodity has reached its most grandiose historical manifestation. |

Where did the world come from? The question has an answer, even though I cannot get to it. It is a good question. It is like a crime that has not been solved. There is an answer, even if police do not know it. |
| Marc Faber |
If the U.S. Government was a company, the deficit would be $5 trillion because they would have to account by general accepted accounting principles. But actually they encourage government spending, reckless government spending, because the government can issue Treasury bills at extremely low interest rates. |
| Martin Feldstein |
Increased government spending can provide a temporary stimulus to demand and output but in the longer run higher levels of government spending crowd out private investment or require higher taxes that weaken growth by reducing incentives to save, invest, innovate, and work. |

I had a dream where I spent a lot of time in airports. I was going to Japan again for a conference I think. I had a sister and my mom was not my mom. They both said they were going to Japan too and that they booked flights so they could meet me there. I told them that I had to go to California first. They hadn't realized that this meant I wasn't going to be in Japan at the same time as them and I didn't know why they hadn't put in the effort to ask me before buying the tickets. Then in one of the airports I saw an ex-girlfriend and I asked her what she was doing and she said "I want to be the queen of England". Then I said "uhh okay" and walked away.

i have a theory that over time tobacco companies have made cigarettes less harmful because they want people to continue spending money. although that throws the population control theory out the window.

So we bill our clients by the minute of my time spent, often this translates in huge profits for my boss since 1 hour of my work is whatever price, and the billable fee is often 3 times as much. But what this really means is that if one of my clients wants me to spend 5 hours changing their share button, it will cost them nearly $400.

The absurd thing about coding is that you can be so close to right and nonetheless get complete garbage for an answer. If you can get it, you win big time, but if you fuck up the right spot, it's all over. -- someone who just spent hours being an idiot attempting to code in the middle of the night and making sleepy math mistakes that are totally avoidable if you take care of yourself

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,

The 90's are credited for a 'golden era' of hip hop. There is still so much intrinsically spiritual music from this era to discover. The whole world was in the thicket of a deeply introspective hip hop beat, and this culmination and amalgamation of hundreds of emcees deep in thought should rightfully be credited to the huge strides in hip hop's group consciousness at the time. If you listen to enough of the right material from this time, you can very clearly see the overlapping religious themes and feel the essence of what hip hop was at the time. Many of these artists unable to even come close to the styles they were delivering at the time. MCs all over the Americas were pulling fire right out of the ether for at least a solid few years.

Long post but I need advice from you, Lynxe(r?)s.
Last week some time I got an envelope in the mail address to 'Current Resident'. Since I've had good experiences with participation trophies in the past, I opened it and it was a bunch of coupons. Now only my closest confidants know this but I've been unhappy with my razor for a long time so when one of these coupons was for a free razor I decided to plunge bravely into the unknown and order it. Now I've received this email from their service team with the following important line inside:
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any thoughts ...
