    Put your phone two rooms away from where you talk in person. Sound proof your walls. Don't ever get your hand too close to the flame with your e-jokes.

    The things late stage capitalism makes us worry about.

    Oh! I'm excited too then. Won't even apologize. Pot of chili and a barrel o' laughs - now that's what I call beating the winter blues.

    I once YouTubed an interview Barbara Walters did with Castro, in the 80s or 90s. "Why haven't you ever married?" was a big question she kept coming back to.

    Fidel blew off the question, turned it around and said the much more interesting question is why an American journalist would sit down with a nation's leader and, of all things they could ask, they got hung up on his personal life.

    One of the cruel side effects in our capitalism crisis is that the Boomer generation - disproportionate owners of housing stock, the sole recipients of reliable retirement funds - end up housing children for longer periods of time.

    With their tone-deaf disposition and "get a job!" mentality, no generation could be more ill-equipped for this. The average millenial would be much more suited for compassionate parenting to a struggling adult. Tragically, you will see far less of that dynamic due to our scarce opportunities to become home owners and the fact that fewer of us will have children since it is no longer a socially responsible thing to do.

    Don't ever believe them when they tell you that you are the problem. Godspeed, comrade. You will make it through.
