My advice: Don't setup dual boot.

Instead, setup Virtualbox in your Linux instance, and install Windows in a VM. You'll have access to a windows "crutch", without having to leave Linux to use it.

The laundromat has angry people who don't want to be there,

I live in a college town. The laundromat nearest me has a bar.

For what I'm paying in mortgage and one car loan, I couldn't afford rent on an apartment in the nearest city. Whatever single family home I could afford to buy in the city, I wouldn't want to live in.

Today, it takes a family with both parents, or partners, working just to have enough money to pay a mortgage and two auto loans (none if they live in a city and are smart).

If they live in the city, they aren't paying a mortgage and two auto loans. The money they'd spend on all three in the outer suburbs is instead going to a landlord.

Just tell them you're contagious, and don't want to pass it on to them.

Yeasts are fungi, not plants. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.

The French had no other means of achieving their objectives in 1789. They didn't have a democracy. They didn't have the ability to eliminate their "billionaires" by taking their billions. They could only get rid of their "billionaires" by taking their heads.

Unlike the French Revolutionaries, we have the framework of a functioning democracy already established. It's currently broken and non-functional, but it exists.

We don't need the guillotine, but we do need the mindset, the attitude, the commitment that the revolutionaries had when they decided to use the only tool they had available to them.

First off, Some mod is reading "Guillotine Party" and thinking I'm advocating violence. I'm not. I'm advocating a French Revolution, where the third estate takes their nation back from the oligarchs of the second estate.

Just as the modern Tea Party adopted historical symbolism to identify and rally people to their cause of action, we should use the most visible symbol of the French Revolution to focus our own efforts against wealth disparity: the guillotine.

Why don't we just take the party from them or make our own with blackjack, hookers, and abortion

That is exactly what the Tea Party did to the GOP, and that is exactly what we need to be doing to the Democratic Party. We need to destroy billionaires, not by removing their heads, but by removing their billions. Every cent they aren't spending is a loss of income to a worker, and a loss of income tax to the government. We are all paying a higher portion of our earnings to give them the privilege of extracting wealth from the economy.

They had their Tea Party. It's time for our Guillotine Party, to address the problems created by the Second Estate.
