No she’s really like that. A first gen double minority eta: American, former teacher, former Sikh Did nothing for women except mostly performative domestic violence law tweaks, nothing for schools or teachers, nothing for minorities or immigrants. Married decently, got hers, the rest of y’all need to bootstrap it. Oh we stole your boots? They’re really ours because we allow you to exist. Fealty, peasants!

ETA: oh, I was wrong. Michael married up https://sg.news.yahoo.com/know-nikki-haleys-parents-ajit-193904063.html

Don’t you go givin folks ideas, now, whippersnapper!

So you’re paying through the nose. Ouch.

The employer pays half?!

Write a letter to the editors of major media outlets, including Forbes and wish. Complain bitterly about politics stifling business, innovation and your freedoms, courtesy copy your Republican and Dem representatives at state and national levels.

The memory hole is real.

You are exactly right, too. A while back, something about lifestyles of the wealthy in the gilded age in the USA blipped across the news. I looked up tax rates for then, and right before the Black Friday market crash. With the dismantling of Glass-Stegall and anti-trust/anti-monipoly laws, we’re very close to those tax rates. We keep repeating lessons learned and it’s very sad. You’d think the ultra-wealthy would remember why there was a middle class, to begin with, but they can’t manage to retain even that memory.

Yes

I bet a lot of bikers and gang members are embedded in the system. Money talks. In fact I remember reading in the news a couple of years back where some gang members were threatening to spill the tea on some lawyer-prosecutor-addict-dealer-murderer. They didn’t, ofc after he was convicted and sent away, but nothing more was investigated, either.

I grow weary. None of us are perfect but I guess dirty is on a spectrum, like mental illness. If one has enough money and doesn’t draw too much of the wrong kind of attention to themselves (and their associates, by default), everything is a-ok, if not and/or one does, one is lucky not to “commit suicide.”

The* USA could address this legally, no bikers needed, but we won’t, because the wealthy and powerful would have consequences, instead of just the poor and disenfranchised. Besides Epstein who “died from suicide,” and Maxwell, have you heard any news about anyone else who visited Epstein’s Island being charged? How about Matt Gaetz? Or his buddy? What about djt or the Clintons or Bill Gates? Have they even been investigated? No. But there’s a biker group who help a few.

*Edited word

To try to get the money, he would have to take the order through the complex Small Claims Court enforcement process. That’s because, as an administrative tribunal, the LTB doesn’t have the power to enforce its own orders.

So the tenant was rough sleeping while suing for wrongful eviction, without a lawyer and won, the landlord hasn’t paid what to him is pocket change, and now the tenant still has to sue again because the tribunal can’t enforce their own orders? Welcome to the Americas. I’m so sorry USA Americanism has metastasized so far, so rapidly, infecting Canada, the UK, Oz and everywhere else.

Op, I agree with getting some gastric testing, if possible. I may or not be divergent, testing is cost prohibitive. But I was diagnosed as a child with IBS and still have occasional issues after food poisoning set backs a while ago. After getting that straightened out, a decent probiotic cap with fiber set me back on track until I could eat a mostly veggie diet, until the robber Barron corporate overlords started pricing decent food so crazily. You can add nutrition to crackers or bread with nut butters if your toddler will have them. If toddler requires more sweetness, try adding as little maple syrup as possible, and honey if his practitioner deems it ok.

Have you tried home made sweet potato fries (oven baked or air fry is fine, you’d have to look up how to oven fry them), or if your child will eat baked sweet potatoe with a little real butter they are highly nutritious and gut friendly. It’s just hard to say because one of the many reasons I may be asd is it doesn’t matter how much I like the flavor of something, if I don’t like the feel or consistency of a food, I’m simply not having it.

Why processed?

Thank you.

Lancing a boil is painful, but it’s the only way to start healing @

I know. It’s the maintaining that’s for reasons. I’m working on it, because every time that wound scabs over and they sense it and find an opportunity, ripping it off and rubbing dirt into it is a gleefully taken opportunity. They are unwell, probably clinical npd. They were extremely violated for about a decade, as a child and never sought help (sign of the times l suppose, insurance didn’t exist, psychological help was out of reach financially and well, the parents were the abusers), etc etc etc. at ~8 decades of life, it’s just not going to happen, unless some wild miracle happens, and I’m not counting on it. Whether I completely cut contact or not, there’s a he’ll of a mess I’ll be cleaning up, and I would suppose death after a cut may add another heaping pile of rot on top of it. But I’m currently doing all within my realistic ability to do that. Still stinks and is extremely painful, either way.

I realize I just trauma dumped a huge pile of emotional baggage on you. I almost want to delete this but want others who are in a position to cut contract to see it. Get out because it gets worse with age, not better. And layers of layers of scar tissue can become extremely painful, festering, leaking wounds.

ETA: Please accept my apologies, if this is too much.

Yeah. It’s sad. It breaks me, almost every time they are particularly vile. Maintaining minimal contact, for reasons.

I think that’s true for some. In this particular case, I think they are so invested in abhorrent policy and opinions, they absolutely know those policies and opinions are vile, but pretend to believe that nonsense just so they can pretend it’s ok when some portion of conscious manages a dying breath to whisper truth to them.

Iana psychological professional, so I could be very wrong. I hope I am, in this particular case.

I don’t think any of them believe any such thing. My xenophobic parent let it slip when they accused someone of lying with “your name must be D***** T**** 2.”

I looked that up recently, in the USA, for us. Many major food corps are still taking in almost double (Cargill, Tyson, fur example) their prior record profits. Standing with my Canadian brothers and sisters in solidarity as I rue that we just pay more and think it’s ok, here.
