Maybe I eat at the wrong places or am way too focused on my own crazy shit show to even bother paying attention to others dining habits. Most kids I see are generally pretty okay behaved and most parents I see are generally looking like they are doing their best.

Right? Like what is the clean-up necessary for reheating last night’s leftovers?

Oh geez, for real? When I had only 2 kids... heck when I had only 4 kids going out to eat was managable. With 6 the permutations of what can go wrong are just too many. Plus at home there isn’t having to sit still waiting for a table followed by sitting still waiting for your food before you get your food in front of…

I now have 6 kids ranging in age from 11 to 3 months. I won’t go as far as to say that family dinner is always a disaster but there are nights where life is really a lot easier if we fix quesadillas for the kids and eat after we send them to bed. I even remember my mom always saying that “stop asking me 20 questions…

For most people, nothing happens. Just nothing. The risks are generally very low anyway. Tuna from a can or pouch... pretty safe to eat about once a week up to 6 oz at a time. Risk is mercury, which the canned stuff is pretty low in. The rest (other than the alcohol and drugs) is risk of listeria which is also a…

And your wife is giving up the opportunity for career advancement and basically giving up any shot of having a career of any sort ever. She’s now completely dependent on you and while that may work out just fine there’s a good chance it won’t. My mom made the same choice and tried to go back to work once the kids were…

And what is the solution? White people just forego having childcare? Childcare is a complicated circular disaster. White people (or generally people from a better SES) are willing to pay a bit more for childcare, especially if the provider has some kind of credentials. This leads to higher wages for their childcare…

This is a perennial problem in all “liberal meccas.” Portland, OR has a similar issue with Intel, Nike and the like. Seattle, WA area is struggling with similar with Boeing and Microsoft. The progressive machine in these areas is driven by these mammoth corporations that do their own back dealing (I’m looking at the…

Required to wear their hair down? Those lax lawed Texans stike again. Don’t most states require hair to be restrained in food service?

In general, I agree. The line here is that by performing individual dancers could be seen as “endorsing” Trump overall. Unlike an employee at Nordstrom where Ivankas merchandise is sold where merely working for Nordstrom doesn’t appear to be “endorsing” Trump.

The unadjusted gap does matter. The adjust gap rejects all the social reasons that puts women in careers and career tracks that pay less than those that men are in.

Except if the rules and policies weren’t so arcane that it made doing government business ridiculously inefficient and ineffective this wouldn’t have been an issue. The overall government attitude that IT resources are a luxury is absolutely to blame.

Realistically, the government just should have better IT systems that allow government officials to operate efficiently and effectively. Most of these workarounds are being done because the IT resourcing of government is awful and there is no priority on making IT systems be efficient. Absolutely government officials…
