In education, unions basically provide what HR does in companies and the whole “you don’t have to individually negotiate contracts” thing saves a TON of money and time on the management side.

I work at a large arts nonprofit that has had a LOT of problems with its unionized employees, including multiple strikes by one union whose members make six figure starting salaries and have (as much as I hate the term) Cadillac benefits including essentially lifetime tenure and roughly 8 weeks of vacation (during…

Non-profits are often all about making money for management.

“President Obama established the Council in 2009"

The only part of this story I found mildly surprising is that Hope Hicks is still around.

Hey, whatever happened to that $100M the Saudis donated to Ivanka’s foundation?

According to a report from Politico, it appears that the Trump administration has abandoned the White House Council on Women and Girls.

That’s like saying you shouldn’t go to the hospital when you’re seriously ill because 3 things could happen (you could die, get sicker, or get better) and two are bad.

Donald Trump is a fighter?!?!? This asshole couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag. Look at this mutt with his gut and his man-tits.

I’m puzzled by the insinuation she should figure this out behind closed doors. Yes, she’s 30, and this is delayed on our timetable of when worldly liberal people’s should have been having these realizations, But shaming people for not coming to terms with privilege fast enough will just make them defensive and push…

The couple used a a .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol,

So these two could have kids, vote, legally own and apparently shoot a very powerful gun, but can’t legally have a drink?

Don’t forget the time it takes to gestate! She could have been 15 at the time.

anytime anyone claims to be cherokee, I automatically assume they are not.

The Cherokee nation was one of the biggest tribes in the US prior to forced removal.It encompassed huge parts of the mid-Atlantic and southern inland states. From the Carolinas into Kentuckey, etc. If your family wasn’t on the Dawes rolls when the Five Civilized Tribes happened, you can’t be a member of the current…

I like your perspective here, but here is my quandry-
