The descriptions in the beginning of this thread of everyone having it so "cushy" made me think a bit.
Specifically, I think we're not getting shown the "not cushy" parts of the individuals' lives unless they're relevant to the story. I don't view this as glossing over as much as economical storytelling.
Case in point: Dale's pretty chill, but his day-to-day life does kind of suck. We got to see some of the less-than-cushy parts while May was tailing along in his Glasses during his work montage. Perhaps this is why he was spending so much time in WoW--a kind of escapism.
Other examples:
May's journey has been less-than-cushy. Jail plus trying to put together a post-release life has been a struggle.
The intern-training montage was where we got to see the less-cushy parts of Marten's job--I mean it is real work, even if you have a cool boss).
We've seen places where Hanners and Cosette experienced the non-cushy parts of working in a coffeeshop (though presumably Cosette is the only one who actually needs to work there for financial reasons).
As for Clairemom, there's simply not enough info. If cheating dad was at all well-off the divorce would have to have set her up reasonably well but she may just as well have superior business acumen and able to support C+C.
I presumed that Clinton lost his hand while he was young enough to still be insured, plus I'd guess that therapeutic technologies are more subsidized in QCverse than in realityverse since they seem so prevalent.
As to rain in QC, see newspost in this comic:
Re Laser hair removal: I didn't know that about redheads... is it possible to dye the hair to raise the effectiveness?

Former exotic dancer and collaborator to Veronica Vance; now 'gone straight' as a professional home-maker but writes romantic fiction professionally and is one of Tai's artistic idols. As a college student, she and Veronica did a double-act at an adult club in San Francisco. One customer who always tipped handsomely and asked for a private dance was one Beatrice Chatham.
I came up with this probabilty-defying idea because the thought of Marten, Claire and Hannelore finding out that their mothers were once cronies... possibly friends... or, dare we say it, possibly even lovers makes me snigger. I just would love to see the younger characters' reactions combined with Mrs A's outraged response of: "What? Just because I'm your mother now means I wasn't allowed to have a wild time when I was a student?"
It's all in the past now in terms of emotions, but they have fond memories of each other and are happy to meet again.

Head canon accepted. Beginning speculation concerning spinoff comic... now.

I don't believe so. The dye would need to penetrate into the part of the hair inside the follicle for that to work.

To confirm, no this does not work. Electrolysis is about the only solution for some of us.. :(
