Hey now - I [probably] wouldn't have jumped in that fountain even if you hadn't whispered "Mexican jail" in my ear, lol. ;)

Celebrity opinions on politics are fine, when you like what they say, huh? One can have the goal of bettering one's self, and the goal of bettering minimum wage, they are not mutually exclusive. When it hasn't been raised for many years, that makes sense to anyone not too far to the right.

Anyone who votes for Hillary because they want a woman for POTUS is too stupid to vote. I hope there is a better candidate, because I just can't vote for her.

The bias isn't anti business, it's anti the assumption that business deserves deference, no matter how their decisions impact others. There are plenty of good businesses, but the ones that value profit above all else, [esp short term], aren't an asset to the community, and don't deserve to be...

Exactly. The reaction of the outraged presumes the teacher explained to the class that the recipient of their get well cards is a convicted cop killer, but we don't know anything at all about that. It would be nice to know what else was included in the lesson, [I don't believe kids have any...

Walgreen's is being vilified because [in your terms] they accepted a load, then decided the profit/location wasn't good enough. The time to make that determination is before building a store and hiring staff - er, accepting a load. We all make poor decisions sometimes, but 200 wrong decisions...

News flash: if they'd opened stores in the right places, which is what they claim they're going to do now, [smh], those people who had work would still have it. Stability is a better metric than whatever they used to open stores in the 'wrong' places, IMO. Stuff like this is why it baffles me...

Is that right? Buying stock is now risk free, a return is guaranteed?

Good grief is exactly right: according to ExecVP Alex Gourlay "This is really a matter of getting the stores in the right places". Excuse me, but is that not part of the due diligence they supposedly did before opening the stores they're now closing? "Underperforming stores"? That's...

Interesting: the Advanced Practice Nurse who did most of my exam is not listed on the OOIDA list.....I'd have liked to give some feedback, like: is it relevant [or even appropriate] to write in "Examiner's Comments" things like 'cerumen in ear canal'? Earwax is not an abnormal finding, in...

IOW, treat the symptoms [spending "too much"] and ignore the causes. I don't think that's a very good way to handle any problem. Addressing the cause would help prevent it from becoming a problem again, which is what unsolved problems usually do. Whether a business gets money is relevant in...

Deflecting? I listed the reasons there are people who can't work, volunteer, or get educated, and that just blew right through without a response. Should they be left to go hungry? The public assistance programs have been cut and pared and reformed and trimmed many times over the past decade...

Oh, I dunno, maybe because they have a financial "relationship" with the sleep testing clinic? Or maybe just a CYA precaution, because what Congress told the FMCSA is not part of their knowledge base, but they recall reading that apnea is a huge issue for truck drivers. The long form I got has...

We're not even talking about 'welfare', we're talking about food stamps. Welfare is a complex problem, with no easy answers. It's been reformed long since the days when it was a way of life for generations, something that just kind of crept up on society while we were all busy doing our own...

Kids should be taught to respect people like the judge who presided over the trial, and was overheard by his stenographer saying "We're gonna fry this :censoredsign:.", eh? [A remark she didn't mention till well past her retirement, of course.] There is evidence to indicate that Mumia wasn't guilty to...

More garbage assumptions:he is being 'subsidized' by our 80 year old mother, who can't bring herself to throw him out on the streets to starve - but the 'Christians' would, huh? And the answer is no, he has no phone. He has nothing but what he can beg from Mom, who doesn't like his drinking -...

Government is supposed to be "of, by and for the people", not for corporate profits. If they move their profits and jobs out of the country, they should be treated as foreigners, not enjoying the benefits that taxes support. Let them see how they like having to deal with the corruption and...

This is not a "major victory for welfare reform", it's a major victory for kneejerk assumptions carried over from decades ago. The requirements to work, or go to some kind of training, or do volunteer work [that can be verified] sounds easy enough, until you understand that many of those...

Let me guess: your mobile device translated your words into Android? :p Ok, I agree: Erdely is guilty of a huge error in judgment. Given the circs, though, [a supposed rape victim] I can see her reluctance to push for more detail, [like the actual names of those involved, which "Jackie" claimed...
