Thick as thieves.
This is exactly what it means.

And football is Trumpball now.
I wonder who they'll choose for their next one?
The Olympic Committee is shoveling money into the trunks of their cars while the world is watching FIFA.
Careful out there.
I don't have much experience driving through Illinois outside of one trip where on & off ice was the issue. I wasn't processing rest areas at the time. I like driving in the south.
My boss sucks, he's a cheapskate, and an incompetent boob, and I'd quit, but I don't know what else to do.
I'm self-employed.
My college roomate's father got really rich owning parking lots in the downtown business district. Just simple ground level lots, no multi-floors. He bit the bullet and bought the first one, then kept buying them. By the time my roomie was in college, his dad owned about ten of them, and they had serious dinero.
We have sunk to the point where living in your car is an acceptable living option, and the government would rather have that, than address the basic problem of housing affordability.
To exacerbate the issue, many communities and states are "banning" and criminalizing homelessness, arresting people for the crime of being so poor you can't afford any sort of roof.
The beatings will continue until we learn to enjoy it.
I often sleep in my car while traveling for work. It doesn't make sense to pay $100 plus, when I'm only going to be in it for 6 hours.
I ALWAYS park in a rest area or a truck stop, and I've never had an issue.
And I'll repeat that they know that, but most people don't. The point is to normalize the concept now, so that when it gets to the point of being exploitive, we won't be paying attention. That's why they are wrongly designating this current computer revolution (I've lived through many) AI, because it's all part of a larger plan to introduce real AI someday.
What we have today isn't true AI, but it's on the path, and getting close enough that true AI experts are sounding alarms a bit, and cautioning about overreach. We are in the marketing stage where they are convincing you that you have bad breath, so they can introduce a mouth wash oroduct to solve the problem that they just convinced you that you have.
No, but the term Artificial Intelligence will be accepted, so when they start veering into SciFi territory, nobody will blink an eye.
Pfft, gallows. This is America. We solve our problems with gunpowder and lead.
