This is why the push should be to close the shop.

So, are you trying to tell me that in a time in which the richest man in the world has an asset that has increased their brand weight and firmly provided him with a financial benefit, that he isn’t willing to invest into it or the people who make it work?

At least you have unions. I’ve been working private sector IT jobs for the last decade and the closest I ever came to even seeing a Union in the workplace was when I did a stint with one of the local hospitals. The Nurses (and only the Nurses) had a Union, but that was it.

Good? The asshole said no and then flip flopped because he was exposed. He doesn’t get to coast.

I’m okay with plain hot dogs, but I can’t do boiled if that’s what I’m doing. It needs to be grilled or fried in a skillet so it snaps when I bite it.

Wait, I’m Midwest and I only know the first two. Wth are the rest?

I wonder how many lives ICE ERO agents have ended by comparison?

Yep, exactly. It’s why their #’s are always so weird when compared to other places.

It is. They only use landlines for their polling which skews their datasets *way* off IIRC. 

I’m as surprised as you are on this one. I thought it was pretty obvious. 

Oh look, we get to go through this again. Fun.

No, Fox News will tell them it was Dems fault. 

At this point our only actual hope is to win “everything” in a rebound and then go HAM and chuck our love of “Tradition” out the damn window. SC goes to 12-15, etc. That’s basically all you can do.

That’s easy. The Right has long pushed a narrative about “Elites” (while somehow suggesting they themselves aren’t elite) and the media as an entity has largely helped push that narrative alongside them until it became “true”. Instead of talking about policy positions and actually offering comparisons on how it…

“How many hot sauces do you currently have in your fridge? What are they?”

“Let’s talk mayonnaise: Does Hellman’s really bring out the best? I am more of a Duke’s girl, but most mayo is fine.”

I ran into this in volunteer gaming organizations.

There isn’t an ethical means to maintain a relationship within the inherent imbalance of power between the student and educator. That’s the point.

Your inability or unwillingness to understand the impact that the power imbalance inherent within the example shows that you have a unique and fairly awful concept of consent.

It isn’t a bad example though. The imbalance of power exemplifies the issue perfectly and the complete failure to address the issue in a meaningful manner is a part of showing that it’s systemic.
