They banned abortion rights, in part, to replenish the population. Jokes on said working and middle class.

It would be more like calling someone a chick, if being used in that context.

It's such a double standard for the large majority of these people. It's God's will that a baby should be born to suffer and die, but it's not God's will that they die of a heart attack, diabetes, or a simple infection.

If they really believed in God's will, they wouldn't be seeking medical care at all, for they were destined to suffer and die as well.

It's despicable, what they are imposing on these families. If you believe in miracles, put yourself in the hands of your God and wait for one yourself, asshats.

Wait yalls had that many windows? These look nice. Ours looked like someone gutted a corrugated metal double wide and put a divider wall in the middle to make 2 "classrooms." There was 1 larger window on the backside, and 1 door in the front of each room.

The real question is if your grandma, on the other side, is from the same generation as your dad. Then shit gets weird.

Nothing so formal. More like just the boss of a construction company not telling people if the person at the desk they were loitering at the day before called in sick cause they tested postive for covid. They didn't want people being conscientious about not infecting anyone else because the ~~spice~~ cash must flow.

Both. My family lives out in the county. There's no rules as to what is supposed to done with the land.

So...They clear cut it. They'll leave a few small scraggly oak trees which will mostly all die in a year or two. It's horrible. They turn a beautiful forest into a dry desert in a week.

They'll misquote a local rancher, spout misinformation about certain species of trees to justify their horrible land management practices.

And then wonder why the area has less water and is getting hotter.

It's funny how, in my area at least, the HOAs are always stopping people from wanting to plant, and the people who can plant want to make it look like an HOAs wet dream.

Good. Nowadays, theres a degree requirement for so many fields that didn't used to require one. The most competent workers I know, don't have degrees. All the new people with degrees have no clue what they're doing, yet they get paid more and are treated better. It's painful to watch the best performers get passed over, while the people with degrees are held on golden pedestals while they actively drive production into the ground. Especially, when their degree isn't even for the field they're presently employeed in.

While certain jobs should require degrees, there's a huge amount of positions where practical and hands on experience would (and should) trump a degree, any day.

During covid, my company was deemed essential. (Non-healthcare) They would send a email alerting people to the fact that someone had had covid in the building, but refused to name that individual due to it "being a HIPAA violation."

It was so frustrating. I'm like, that's not how that works.

It's still free for them. In their mind, that's all that counts.

I'm pretty sure ISIS took responsibility for it, like a day after it happened.

Honestly, I have no idea why any agency in the us feels the need to confirm something that someone else has already owned up to. Seems redundant.
