Wow. The responses to this post are surprising. I’m nowhere near a millenial, I’m closer to an “old”, and I’ve watched airline behavior steadily plummet. Back before the days of 9/11, I watched helplessly as Delta manhandled two young girls off a plane, threaten them with jail, and lock them in a room all because…

And airlines like United, those thieves, that charge you $6.99 to watch anything on their per-seat screens.

I can’t stop watching this, and laughing.

This comment made me laugh and laugh.

Honest question, though, in most states Medicaid reimbursements are so low that most doctors don’t even accept it. Medicaid cuts or no, the death of Medicaid started long before Trump thought about running for office.

I live in the health metropolis - LA. Everyone is running, jogging, dieting, eating avocados only with a sprinkle of sea salt (all organic), treating all juices and sodas like the devil itself. They’ve never smoked, not even pot. They bike for hours for fun, and bike to work. They go to spin classes and yoga. They…

The implementation of Obamacare was important to our family because it admitted something America has struggled to admit for a long time: it admitted that my brother is a full citizen, deserving of the same protections as someone born with muscles and tendons more capable of Making America Great.

Maybe the parents just don’t want their kids to disturb you, another patron, at this restaurant.

You have the one kid then? So basically what you’re saying is that you don’t realize that a kid and their personality is a crapshoot, and getting one type (the easygoing, entertain-themselves type) does not mean that you necessarily CREATED that type.

I agree with you that the burdens are higher, and certainly single mothers bear the worst burden of all. But I actually feel worse for fathers who don’t choose to take a larger role in child-rearing.

I want to see the source that shows that marriage gives women less money and more isolation.

Why is it that taking care of other people means you cease to exist? I think it builds you up, brick by brick. The people that I look up to are nurturers and givers. Princess Diana was beloved not for being a ballbusting feminist, but because she cared, she nurtured, she gave back to others. I don’t know a single…

Yes. I think marriage - a good marriage - is the complete partnership between men and women. I think it was bastardized for a long time as some kind of protection for women, but at its core, marriage is about giving and being a part that completes a whole. I don’t know where you’re getting that marriage was created…

I was waiting for SOMEONE to bring this up. This sentence really bothered me:

What’s frustrating is while it’s the government’s fault, you can also lay the blame on the unions.

Exactly. All I could think reading this story was, “Well, a few administrators will get the raise they’ve been asking for.”

No, it really doesn’t nail the issue. I’m an Orthodox Jew, and one of my children goes to public school. They have Valentine’s parties and Christmas parties and lots of projects about Christmas and Halloween and Easter. He’s had his yalmulke thrown in the toilet, and while the teachers are all very proactive,…

So what? Isn’t feminism about making sure all types of women benefit? Is it fair to throw the entire idea out because it isn’t perfect?

I’m going to say that while her idea isn’t the best, it’s a start. This country does NOT help with child care, and to my knowledge, this is the first conversation that has seriously addressed it in Congress in decades.

I’m not sure how this became accepted knowledge, but marijuana use really does lead to harder drug use.
