I mostly agree with you, however, I think it's still good to point out to people that resources and help do exist and that there is no shame in using them. I know plenty of people who qualify for food stamps (or have in the past) and refuse to get them due to stigma. I've heard people with no food say they can't go to a food bank because "that food is for people who are worse off than me" even though they are skipping meals and starving.

Directly pointing out "if you need help and help exists, use it" is important and helps destigmatize those options imo

Also, this was published October of 21. Have there been any updates or improvements?

"All" is all content on the fediverse, across all instances with which your home instance is federated. It will be similar for all instances, because most are federated with the big instances and those tend to have more posts and interaction.

If you only want to see the feed of communities on your local instance, you can just browse your "Local" feed.

I mean, simple file should already be a thing, and the IRS would prefer it be easier for everyone to file. But h&r block and turbotax have lobbied heavily against it because they'd lose money with easier filing. One way to make things more streamlined and efficient would be to get rid of middle men and focus on making internal systems better.

But this administration wants the internal systems to be broken and needlessly complex so that they can outsource it to their preferred middle men so that they all make a lot more money.

I think it's from "The Founder" about the guy who turned McDonald's into a national chain.

What if you fire the current federal workers, hire them at SpeceX (for less pay, less job security, and less benefits) and then charge the government a higher price for the contract?

Also, they can probably just reduce the hours needed to become certified.

Finally got my first full clear this morning, and I've gotten 2 more since then. I've now gotten all of the achievements and I just completed a 2 stamp game!

It's very possible to defeat the dragon. I can do it pretty regularly after a day of heavy playing. Getting the achievements is tougher. And I still haven't gotten a clean wipe yet (I've been 1 tile away twice though)

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen it yet. Your title says 'prior' to the incident. The linked statement seems to just say they helped them get away safely and organized (and used an elementary school to do so?!) but I don't think it indicates that they helped prepare for the event or anything like that. (Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they did, it just doesn't seem like this info backs that up)

That overpass is relatively new (or at least recently refurbished) and is part of the new entry into the GE aviation plant on the right side of your screenshot. Notice that it leads into Aviation Way. So, as it is the entrance into the plant, it probably actually is a named overpass.

And yes, the plant and that overpass are in Evendale.
