Stereotype posted:Why not include the states that have already formed their own unions since the federal government is just completely absent? So far we have three: West Coast Pact, MOM WIKI, and Council of Six. Texas said they're flying alone. I assume that a bunch of other states will join up with the first three at some point, and we'll probably get a Southern Alliance and Mountain Coalition at some point too lol

This is the exact type of emergency that requires a federal government response and not a piecemeal state response. It effects everyone in the country equally, a single state loving it up wrecks everyone else, and the federal government can just print unlimited money to deal with it. It's honestly a perfect example of why you need federalism and yet an enormous population in These United States is incapable of changing their opinions on anything at all ever.

We probably can't even have our wedding anymore, but we explicitly were planning on doing as few "wedding" things as possible. We are considering just not getting married though instead because financially marriage is awful for us.

I wonder if there's an inverse relationship between how elaborate your wedding/rings are, and the quality of the ensuing marriage

TOOT BOOT posted:I wonder if there's an inverse relationship between how elaborate your wedding/rings are, and the quality of the ensuing marriage there is if you do vow renewal ceremonies which is interesting because divorce rates are lower as you go up in household wealth, and renewal ceremonies are like paying for another wedding every 10 years or whatever

It's kinda funny, I got scammed into buying a service plan on our rings. There was this tiny asian woman with a heavy accent working the counter when I went to pick up the rings and she did the hard sell on the service plan and when I turned it down she accused me of not loving my fiancee enough and I was so flustered about the idea of getting into an argument about it with someone that I could barely understand that I bought the drat service plan That's like the one time in my life I fell directly into a salesperson's trap

i've posted about it before but my friend had a wrestling themed wedding, whole ceremony was carried out in a wrestling ring complete with a match. the groomsmen were all in costume, it was a hoot he even managed to hire the late (as of yesterday...) howard finkel. howard was kind of a mess and possibly slightly hosed up on painkillers, but whatever poo poo was still awesome.

yeah that's too much, they must've gotten ripped off a lot more than normal, venue and food maybe we had a little over 300 people for less than half that, though we were able to do things like supply our own booze instead of being forced into using the venue's bar caterers' sourcing, for example

we had a wedding of 50 and our total budget was $10K canadian. we kind of forgot to factor in tax but otherwise it still feels like money well spent. everyone liked the food and said it was one of the better weddings they’ve been too, which is at least kind to lie to my face about like i’m some kind of rear end in a top hat
