The Comptroller handles the $$$. Say you get a grant from a state agency, that agency submits the payment request and the money is routed through your state’s comptroller. It’s also likely that the comptroller is the sole trustee for any state-sponsored pension fund.

Is this what the Comptroller is for? I don’t know what Comptrollers do.

Agreed 100%. Looks like something may be coming up for a strike.

I think he will do ANYTHING to obtain power. He’s just as psychotic as Trump.

I mean, he threw his own children under the bus when he bailed on us during the freeze, soooooo

It’s hard to imagine walking into a stadium knowing the majority of people want to beat the crap out of you.

For many of those anti-abortion folks, they think women shouldn’t be in the workplace. 

Makes me wonder what the pro-life types think of this. They never seem to get upset when pregnant workers are mistreated, even when it causes injury, a miscarriage (which is bad enough from the pro-choice mindset but shouldn’t that be “UPS literally murdered a baby” for the anti-choicers?) or in this case the death of…

Was she a member of the union? Since she was fired and not walked out, I’d assume that she wasn’t. Not saying unions are perfect, but they can really help when times are tough.

I don’t know how you get over those kind of calamities against your father,” she added, referencing (very untrue) internet memes claiming Cruz’s father was the Zodiac Killer.

Ted Cruz's dad killed JFK is the unfounded rumour. Ted Cruz himself is, however, the Zodiac Killer.

Unions are the only way to fix the country.   Bernie Sanders was right.   Centrist idiot Democrats are corrupt and work for the rich.  Until you learn that lesson the right will keep winning.  

Remember when the USPS had similar problems back in the eighties and nineties? When we coined the term “going postal”? Yeah, maybe we should learn from history instead of continuing down this path to end up repeating it, just for once.

It was better than most of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies certainly. It doesn’t really deserve the scorn that it gets even though it was a box office failure.

I think that right-wingers are extremely selfish and do not care about other people, and they lack the intelligence/imagination to figure out why they should care about other people. Until they become the other people. But, they will only support something that directly affects themselves. Like this woman may speak…

This is a good quote, thank you. I tend to get pissed every time I see one of these stories, but I’ve realized that my anger really is letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Considering that foreign volunteers have to sign a contract stating they'll stay and fight until the end of war, I imagine he did use his last name to get out of Ukraine when he was done being a "tourist" soldier 

I think that’s wishful thinking. This is a perfect encapsulation of what, to me, if the defining characteristic of your average conservative voter—lack of empathy. Something is bad or wrong until I am personally affected in a direct or adverse way by it. I tend to think this blocks most of them from even theoretically…

Women, GTF informed about your bodies and the complications that can happen during pregnancy. This woman is a standout example of women in the anti-abortion arena. They have no idea of how a pregnancy can go horribly wrong. And during the past fifty years, this shit had gone by the wayside. If they were told that this…

Thanks! Yeah, those things are unfortunately really normal. There is a pretty standard progression of signs/symptoms in hospice and comfort care situations. Restlessness is often towards the early/ middle stage and eventually skin tends to take on a sort of waxy quality and can look discolored also. Sorry for…
