Jean, Jorts, and tough feedback
I can’t stop thinking about a recent AITA post from the manager of two cats named Jorts and Jean.

Tremors lives rent-free in my head. It has a one-bedroom apartment where Burt Gummer polishes a shotgun and says things like, "If the government can't take my guns, then the government can't take your pronouns."
I've said it before and I'll post it again: we should embrace and deify TREMORS as much as we do JAWS.

![“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.
Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.
Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkxtqxfvk4xh2roqbkebmoiq/bafkreid675pobhckre5wbkxub5qfu3vaxbls7mpuhlcidhvbbrjw6iua2e)

Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right.

Probably someone who knows more about economics than I do could write something about the relationship between private equity and public shareholders making products cheaper and worse, and the retirement investments industry.
This includes pensions, which often invest in private equity.
