In the before-times, it was not uncommon for telework policies to prohibit child/elder care duties while teleworking, based on the sensible notion that it is distracting and affects productivity. However, a world-wide pandemic is not normal times, and companies that fire workers for childcare during work hours are…

If we are able to wrest control of all to three branches, we need to be aggressive in making critical changes -new states, accountability for Trump and his cronies, and strengthening our checks and balances so that we never have another disaster like this one. I worry to the Dems will go soft if we don’t keep the…

What about all those poor people your mom's going to breathe her potentially toxic breath all over? Jesus saving everybody?

Let them resign. This will make it easier to shrink their bloated workforce.

Everybody signals with the clothes they wear (this is part of human culture), even buttmunchers who think fashion is stupid.

Lack of accountability creates a toxic work environment where good employees will not want to stay or will give up and go along.

And their use of the "a few bad apples" excuse is even more terrible because the saying is actually: "ONE bad apple spoils the bunch." A few bad apples and the whole thing is rotten as f*ck.

We would be better off as a society if we could dismantle existing police forces and rebuild from scratch. No more hiring dumb bullies with guns. No more insane protections built into their union contracts that prevent accountability. Rehire and rewrite CBAs. Remind them that they serve US, not the other way around.…

That these people are proud of their family histories rather than ashamed says all I need to know about them.

I would pay so much to see that. So very, very, very, very much.

I saw that interview. He so needs a hug! His emotionality choked me up a bit and I found his story super relatable and charming.

Yeah, “insubordination” is not incompatible with the reason Rebekah Jones gave for leaving. If her supervisor directed her to do something hinky with the data and she refused, she was “insubordinate” and that can be grounds for termination. But asking someone to manipulate data is ethically wrong, so Jones is in the…

Progressives are often in the leading edge of social and political issues, pushing for a better future. This also means that many people will lag behind them in the policy positions they are pushing for. Keep on pushing, but don't use your progressivism as a reason to put others in jeopardy.

She could still cover her cough! It’s a shame this guy’s dead now and maybe that wouldn’t have happened if she had at least made a bare minimum effort.

My brothers and I would do a more gritty version of this. We lived in a slum apartment building in a big city and when it would rain, we’d put on our swimsuits and go “swimming” in the giant puddle in the back of the building where the water would pool around a drainhole. Ah, good times.

If he's a penis, then he's a skinny limp dick.

And nobody HAS to have an abortion unless their life is in danger. Are you wanting to restrict that choice, too, or just ones you don’t agree with?

If I’m not mistaken, the people wanting this treatment are alive. I guess they don’t count. I understand tough choices need to be made, but there is a disconnect between feminism, support for a women’s right to choose an abortion, and wanting to restrict someone’s right to choose to have a child. At least be…

So because you don’t agree with this reproductive choice, you want to restrict it? I am struggling with the disconnect between feminism, people’s support for choice when it comes to abortion, and this stance. Help me understand. And yes, I get there’s a crisis, but unless you’re wanting to also restrict abortions and…

And in most cases, nobody is going to die if they don’t get an abortion. So are you saying those should be stopped during the pandemic, too?
