The local branch is for when average joes are doing a big transaction. So you take some time off of work to meet with the banker to complete the paperwork for your mortgage or other loan, or to setup your money market account, etc.

What I don’t understand is when the government does it.

This is by design! Republicans love reducing hours of government offices and introducing new partworkd and requirements to make it harder for The Poors to meet whatever new arbitrary requirements they've added to access a given program or be able to vote

Require weapons training, licensing and certification, require passing a background check, require renewal of said certification & license (ideally with refresher tests required. I'd like to see the same for drivers licenses too), revoke licenses when certain law enforcement actions happen (again, just like a drivers license), and most importantly actually remove the property when there is nobody licensed to have it (this needs to happen with cars too!) easy peasy

The 2nd amendment doesn't give the right to all Americans to have guns, it simply provisions a well regulated militia. Right now we don't have sufficient regulation to keep gun violence at a reasonable rate, so we clearly don't have a well regulated militia as detailed in the constitution

Some people have never been in a situation that required one, and they don’t understand why people would need one.

Realistically such situations come about because of easy access to guns. Make it more work to buy and keep a firearm, use red flag laws to prevent those who cannot safely own and maintain a firearm from having them, provide easy gun buyback & disposal, and eventually the gun population will dwindle and fewer people will have actual needs for guns. Overtime with such programs firearm ownership should eventually find itself at a reasonable level where only responsible gun owners have them

A speed limit encourages everyone to go a similar speed and sets the tone to a safeish speed. How fast most traffic goes on a highway does vary wildly by region, but at least from what I've seen regionally, its largely informed by the construction of the highway and the speed limit. Lower limit means lower overall speed while a higher limit leads to a higher overall speed

Not sure if this is a local thing or not, but Dominoes has been consistently giving me a free medium pizza coupon after every pizza I've got from them for the last 12 months or so. So that's like 3 or 4 times they've done that

Five Guys at least has better food than most fast food and the portions are so massive you basically have to share

Give me an A&W or a Long John Silvers or something

I don't know if this is just a problem with my local A&W or not but they got super expensive. I was a town over for a thing, we said "oh lets just get A&W so we don't have to spend the gas to go to [next town with more lunch options]" and the bill for 2 adults and 2 kids who never finish their shared kids meal was over $50

bring my own thermos with a pot of coffee in it and a small snack or lunch everyday. I’ve saved probably over a thousand bucks this year already

Since finally taking the time to actually budget out my spending, I've become big on packing sandwiches. I spend about $20 a week on sandwich things, which good luck getting 2 meals out of that same budget eating out

Apperently Walz did get caught drunk driving once, but then stopped drinking entirely. Which reading between the lines sounds like he had a drinking problem and used that ticket as a catalyst to kick the habit entirely, which if that is the case, I have mad respect for him breaking that addiction. Addictions are hard to break
