I went to two different high schools growing up, one more rural/middle income and the other was in an upper income much wealthier area- a school called Brecksville-Broadview Heights. This same rape shit happened over a decade ago with the wrestling team only in the practice workout area, not on a bus. This family…

Well, because 1) you are a freshmen so you aren’t faced with the reality of having to pay back loans yet and you probably won’t know many people that are until you actually graduate and work in the “real world” that many people have 25 year payback periods. 2) MAJORITY of people going to school don’t have athletic…

To get mental healthcare, my friend had to only have $300 or less in total money. He had $500, they would not give him mental healthcare.

Don’t pity the rich.

You really do though because on top of that, you need closing costs which are easily another 5-10% because you can’t always count on seller’s assist to cover taxes and everything else that needs to get done.

Students also use it for food, housing, transportation, and toiletries cost. In a number of states, students cannot qualify for welfare. I tried getting welfare to get food stamps to cover my food costs, but had to take out a loan instead. I worked, but at minimum wage and unpredictable hours, I could barely make rent…

Most people switched to 25 year repayment plans. This is especially true on income based repayment. I will be well into my 50s before I can get my debt forgiven, which is considered income by the IRS so I will have to pay all the tax on my debt forgiven. It is a pretty awful system.

They expect people to get 401Ks, but those are so market sensitive and complete bullshit. They used to be something people got for fun in the 1980s if you had excess money because they were considered completely risky. Well someone sold Reagan and Republicans on this plan (Big Banks.)

Then companies were breaking up…

You're right- they would not have been able to ignore regulations because they would lobby and rewrite the rules so that they didn't exist in the first place.

It isn't just about relocation. What about al the healthcare and services children will need for decades? Even wealthy schools tell me their special Ed budgets are strapped, they are going to be ok with just taking in thousands of children who will need care and support? Where exactly where you put them? Will they be…

Infrastructure record keeping is abysmal. You only have to watch like an hour of HGTV to see how 9 times out of 10 the blueprints of the house are completely incorrect and they use a 2 by 4 versus a 4 by 4 and it can't support weight. Apparently in Flint some records will say they don't have lead pipes and they do, so…

A number of residents have gotten rashes and bad skin irritations from bathing in the water. We are a developed nation, everyone should have clean bathing water as well and the dignity of it coming out of the faucet.

Actually two died within a year: https://modernpencil.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/wit…

I completely agree. The first time I was asked I was dumbfounded. Normally they have it under lock and key (though I’ve seen some less stellar practices) and most of the time there is some kind of paper log (varying on details) and sometimes you sign it and sometimes you don’t. I understand everyone being able to use…

Secretaries.

As a sub teacher and para, I have given literally every prescription under the sun. I had no idea and was googling everything or calling nurse/pharmacy friends to double check shit. If there is no nurse technically the principal is supposed to deliver meds but it always always ends up being the secretary. Majority of…

My Jewish grandmother called driedel an introduction to gambling for children. It's a harmless game, until you win zero chocolate.

You have to be careful about collecting water where there has been a long history of industry, because of particulates in the air. In Pittsburgh we have clean looking air now and have for some time but we have much much higher levels of particulate matter in our air that aggravates/may be causing asthma and other…

It is also coming out thatthe bacteria that causes Legionnaires disease is or was also in the water. Also minimal lead won’t bother your skin but if you are talking 10X the amount, I wonder if the dramatically higher levels causes more skin irritations.

I don’t know how every goddamn year they forget how to deal with snow and ice. This isn’t a once in your lifetime event like living in Miami. DC gets snow and ice every single year and they act like it is straight apocalypse and as if it never snows there. I live about 4 hours away in Pittsburgh with a lot of friends…
