She is serving a 15-year sentence when what the jail did was more endangering to the baby than what she did. Heinous.

You mean you are not motivated to make rich people even richer? Shame.

It could also be partly explained by mothers being forced into carrying defective fetuses to term.

Like this mother: https://www.npr.org/...

The Supreme court has lost its legitimacy due to ethics violations and its many of members need to be made to resign in shame.

In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.

Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.

Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.

Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.

Back in the '90s everything messed up was "gay." The teacher won't let you turn in late homework, that's gay. Recess was cut short by a fire alarm, so gay.

I thought we'd moved past that immaturity.

I am in the middle of fracking country. I can't go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.

Oh, but it does do something. It makes rich health insurance execs even richer! (Working as intended.)

Refusing medical treatment for a woman with a life-threatening pregnancy emergency is legal.

Abortion is criminalized.

(In select backwards states).

It's a modified form of slavery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery

'The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job.[31] However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other".'

I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.

I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of "medical necessity."

Can the bus please just run him over already?

Employee-ownership of the company, like Bob's Red Mill.

I'm part of the problem. (This is my first post.)

Hopefully it is not nefarious.

These "justices" are a national disgrace and make a mockery of our justice system. They must be impeached and removed and ethics and honor restored. (This requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate which is unlikely to happen since many senators are equally corrupt and need to be removed as well.)

And laundry... I find the barrier to making myself do these things is significantly lower if I am listening to an audiobook at the same time.

Police in my town spend a significant amount of time at the scenes of car accidents. I wonder what percentage of their time?

Their priority should be on crime and accident response and prevention and I feel like it is in my small town. I don't know how this compares to police in larger cities, which makes studies like these valuable.

If no one pushes back there will be no "better" jobs...

It is also much more complex than that. Some educated and otherwise intelligent people also voted for Trump.
