Which is what we need to push for in the United States. But people rail against paying taxes, and too many of our politicians are auditioning to be the next “hero” in an Ayn Rand novel, so I won’t hold my breath.

The deceptive marketing is a problem, and why regulations should be in place. No dispute there.

Actually, I don’t have to ease up on a poster who called me an asshole and called someone else a cunt. Perhaps that is where your tone policing belongs. Not people “too aggressive” in defending exploited au pairs from entitled host families.

Au pairs are not supposed to be cheap full time labor. These families could hire a full time nanny or housekeeper instead of a “teenage dilletante.” But then they’d have to pay them a minimum wage.

People in the D.C. Metro area generally know this. I think the guy is omitting part of the story here.

I suspect the guy was spouting some pro-Trump bullshit on his dates, but left that part out of the story.

There sure are a lot of, “My au pair was so lazy” comments that are giving me the creeps. And that’s before you get to the part where people think it’s ok to exploit young foreign women because they can’t afford childcare and a housekeeper.

Weighted grades. Honors and AP classes are worth more. So a 4.0 A grade in a regular class is worth less than a 5.0 A in an advanced class.

Split it into thirds:

Yep. That’s him.

So, we’re just gonna pretend like she didn’t speak on behalf of her father at the RNC Convention in 2016? Like she didn’t sit with the family st the debates?
