The education system teaches what inflation is well enough. The problem isn't that, it's that there's such tremendous amounts of propaganda effort and sensationalizing over the issue people get confused even when they've learned well about the subject previously. Decent education can erode easily when you're bombarded by horseshit for years and decades afterwards.

Defleaing in this case is just giving them flea med stuff, mind. If I had to do it manually, I'd probably need like... falconer gloves or whatever those things are. Cat didn't even like flea combs when she was a kitten, and she was a lot weaker with much smaller claws back then, heh.

Dog has a pill, but the cat's got one of those applicator things and the cat thinks it is 110% sus as all hells.

Usually when you see something like that, it's because the ground conditions are absolute shit in some way or another and the pay increase doesn't -- can't, because jacking the remuneration when conditions are shit often just increases employee churn to the detriment of everyone involved, as people get paid enough to get out even faster, leaving the people effected constantly losing expertise -- actually offset that.

Other times, the pay was so shit a 30% increase or whatever still leaves them well below equivalent positions, or it's still well below the equivalent raise in value the position(s) in question have provided the company, or any pile of things like that.

You can be pretty well assured that if the folks involved are rejecting significant pay increases, they're doing it for damn good reason. What looks substantial from an outside perspective is often woefully inadequate in practice, and employers are well damn aware of that.

Pets defleaed for another month, and I'm only bleeding a little!

... cat. Cat does not like getting the flea stuff put on her neck. Worst I've seen from a cat in my lifetime, I think. Dog be like, "gimme dat peanut butter pill", no problem, but cat be like, "ima cut a bitch keep that thing away from me" and it becomes a whole process. Done, though. Until next time.

Revives left: 1, the game said.

The game lied.

Pretty typical for local food is definitely how it looks to me, yeah. Not... good typical, exactly (good bbq is slathered in delicious bbq sauce, damnit, if it's not a mess to eat with your fingers it's mid-tier bbq at best), but mass made for like a food sale fundraiser or something like that? Not bad, but not great, either.

Only thing that's particularly odd to my bbq sensibilities is that pepper just kinda' sitting there, and it sorta' looking like that's just mac instead of mac and cheese, but some sorts of M&C aren't super orange so it could just be a visual thing.

... though saying that nobody makes bbq like that except virginia is definitely wrong in the accuracy sense, heh. That's just bog standard workhorse bbq, I'm not even sure if there's anything in particular about it that's regional.

That'd be far more equitable with toucan tesla if it had been the Black Llama, the llama anthro alternate reality gerald ford.

Dunkin donuts made me sterile, dunkin donuts puts nicotine in all of their products, dunkin donuts impersonates senior citizens to scam them out of their retirement money, dunkin donuts kills a kitten for every donut unsold to motivate their employees.

Kitten blood is the secret ingredient for their raspberry filled donuts. Gotta' source it from somewhere!
