Sushi is one of those foods that I would consider to be niche based on the drastic difference in reaction to the dish being brought up in conversation.

Why Gretchen Whitmer doesn’t want to be Kamala Harris’ running mate
DETROIT — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is not interested in the number-two spot on the Democratic ballot this fall, reports say. That decision owes to Whitmer’s history and a calculation about how winnable the 2024 race is. After President Biden withdrew from the race Sunday, a consensus formed that his vice president, Kamala Harris, would represent Democrats in November. Just as quickly, reports said Whitmer and Harris’ home-state governor, Gavin Newsom, had no interest in being her running mate. Whitmer faced a similar situation in the 2014 Michigan governor’s race. Whitmer was a state senator in 2012 when then-Gov. Rick Snyder, a...

Here’s The True Value Of $100 In The State Of Michigan
As I grow older, I can now understand why my parents, grandparents, and other adults would scoff at me for the way I chose to spend money. I had no idea the true value of a dollar beyond what it could get me at the candy store on the corner, let alone the value of anything more than $20. Now, I can look back and say I had some of the worst spending habits a kid could have and I would be frustrated if I was an adult in my family.
