According to human waste disposal Pat Robertson, the problem was that not enough people were praying (or praying hard enough):
Something, something, mysterious ways. Something, something.
Yeah, I think some people prefer to ignore that part, doesn't fit into their tidy belief systems. I've always thought that over-thanking is like sucking up to an entity one is not so sure about......
I'm going to blatantly copy/paste something I saw on my Facebook feed today, but it's very accurate, especially the last part about how the only hands you see helping and saving people are human hands.
"It’s an unpopular topic in many circles, but in the aftermath of the devastating tornado that ravaged Moore, Oklahoma…
Ugh. That is just heart wrenching.
This is EXACTLY why I hate all that prayer logic.
And what about the children who didn't make it? Who should they thank? Maybe their parents just weren't thankful enough.
She's starting to get some shit from religious people on Twitter. I hope this doesn't turn into a witchhunt.

It basically is a rallying cry for people to be proud of going back to work, instead of questioning the fact that they don't really have a right to comfortably take the time to save their own lives. It's such an obsession with…
She did discuss this very point in her op-ed.
And go see a lawyer, ASAP. Have the lawyer send all your communications about your illness. They will stop threatening "to fire you." They do that shit until someone calls them out on it.
"Right-to-work" really is an obnoxiously Orwellian name for this odious concept, isn't it?
thank you. Nope, they can't force you to go back to work, but they can fire you for being absent. For anything really, "right-to-work" is an evil beast
And, when it's preventative like Jolie's, it's not normally covered by insurance. Most people who get this procedure rely on their insurance covering it. That Jolie was able to not only get this as preventative surgery, but include the nipple-saving part, is indeed a mark of having more wealth.
