Yes I do know, and I have strong boundaries with my family, I don’t even communicate with my brother any more.
But its still sad and it still affects me, as try to have the best relationship possible with my parents. Maybe me and my partner (when I have one) are not affected in a big dramatic way, but in the sense…

Man, I guess I just get fucked over and I have to be alone forever because of things beyond my control? Have a heart lady, you don’t sound very empathetic.

No, you are right. Noah’s greatest weakness is that he isn’t american, he just doesn’t get it. I am very surprised they extended his contract.

Ebony isn’t the first woke/liberal/progressive institution to have shit behavior, because all humans can suck.

I am in fact assuming that they would be shifted to me in taxes because the taxes I would have paid under bernies plan when he was running for president would have increased my taxes substantially - and I’m solidly middle class like 60k a year. Why would his plan be different now?

Exactly. You have to tax corporations or ensure that money gets converted to salary. If you are paying 4k a year your company is paying atleast as much - that’s the true cost of health care.

Copying and pasting this everywhere, because apparently people with employer-provided health insurance have no idea how it works:

So, through my employer, I pay about $800.oo in health care premiums a year, in addition to paying a small yearly deductible and copays (I don’t have a lot of medical needs right now, about…

I’m not fiscally conservative in the least. I’m not “like that.” You don’t understand the financing of employer based insurance. You have no idea how much your employer is paying of your current health care costs. You might pay $1000 in pre-tax dollars out of your salary to your health plan in a year. Your employer…

So, through my employer, I pay about $800.oo in health care premiums a year, in addition to paying a small yearly deductible and copays (I don’t have a lot of medical needs right now, about $400.00 a year?). Conversely, my employer pays over $4,000.00 a year for my medical coverage.

Now let’s say that all of these…

There’s a distinction there: There is a portion that “I” pay, which they take directly out of my salary. There is also a portion that “they” pay, which is noted on my pay stub, but “their portion”. The portion I pay is taken out of my pre-tax dollars; the portion they pay is never a part of my salary. So there are…

This is my problem with Tig. She’s articulate and smart, so I know that isn’t the issue with her message being unclear.
Even if she couldn’t name CK, she could confirm other aspects of the story. “I personally know women that have experienced X,” followed by some general comment like, “all of hollywood has to become…

Nope.

nah man, she has a proven track record with promoting quasi-spiritual hack gurus.

This would need to be done right, with corporate taxes. Since companies now pay the majority of healthcare spending on employees, imagine what happens if we suddenly all pay for all of healthcare out of our own pocket through taxes. I can’t afford to pay 6000 more in taxes a year.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say? How does this story have a direct line to BLM? If those at Rochester want to go the legal route - more power to them.

Considering that I have worked both in and out of academia, it is my personal experience that it is not at all the same.

I’m glad these people came forward. Academia needs to do more to examine its culture. I believe this situation isn’t just a result of toxic sexism and male entitlement and female intimidation, this also a result of the generally toxic culture of academia.

As weird/awful as that scene is, I can think of a hundred sci fi/fantasy/horror books with equally weird awful dehumanizing sex scenes.

or advertising consultant or executive of some sort.

I don’t know. I mean I think that could happen politically, but the mass deportation of kids would be VERY UGLY. And the current government will be responsible.
Very Very ugly.
