They did. It was mostly small engines and military but it's been an issue. Trump will make it worse but please don't spread false information.

We lived in the city until I was 8 but moved because my Mom was worried about stabbings at the HS. Moved to a working class town next and at 10, we were allowed to ride our bikes to the center, which was 7 miles away. We had chores but mostly free rein all the time. I started babysitting at 11.

My experience: Born Dec. 1977. My brother was Nov 1975. We walked a mile to school, give or take, without adults in 1st grade but before 1st grade we were told to stay on the block and be home before the lights went on. Week nights we at TV dinner almost exclusively but weekends we had home cooked.

The idea that the people who wrote and signed the 14th Amendment didn't believe it should apply to the children of new migrants is so absurd. The potato famine, ended in 1852. The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Did they all immediately forget about the mass migration after 14 years?

The first real failure lands on Mitch McConnell and his efforts to ensure Trump wasn't impeached for J6. He thought Trump was done. He clearly didn't study up on Hitler.

Yes, it's still a privately held company too. Abby owns 49% of the company, employees own 51%. The Johnson family still owns a controlling interest in the company.

Abby started taking over more and more in the mid-2000s if I remember correctly. I have 2 brothers working there still. Ned's father started the business. Ned built it to the point that you could hardly walk down a Boston street without tripping over one of their buildings.

My Mom worked there for 20 years with a high school diploma and strong work ethic. She rose to director level there. You can't find a company like that anymore.

True. One of the people I will always respect the most was Ned Johnson, former head of Fidelity Investments. When the market struggled, bonuses would be cut from the top, the pay cuts started at the top and when there was no other choice, layoffs began with upper management.

So insane. A local farm has been selling raw milk since I moved 18 years ago. Obviously, people have been buying it, but I will never understand. I absolutely understand wanting less processed foods, but drinking raw milk is like eating berries without washing them knowing your cat shits in them.

I stopped watching MSM when so much of it centered on entertainment. That and I'm an empath, and the weight of the world is far too much to bear. I listen to a plethora of podcasts to get my news. From what may be called the far left with It Could Happen Here to center right Politicology.

Not all people with mental health illnesses are addicts but all addicts have a mental health illness. Not all addicts are douchebags but all of these ones most certainly are.

Seriously. When I was in 8th grade, my teacher's 23 month old daughter passed away from complications of the flu. I would never want anyone to see or experience that again. When I had kids, I made sure they got their flu shot every year.

I haven't shared a bathroom with Sarah McBride but if I did, I probably wouldn't even notice. I'm intelligent enough to know that a man who wants to assault a woman won't bother to worry dressing like a woman to enter the bathroom undetected, he would just go in.

He hated it long before the Justice Department even blinked at him. He has never thought that laws should apply to him or that people like him should pay for taxes outside of defense spending.

Not if the House and Senate agree to shut down for a little while and he can do recess appointments. That's what he's trying for.

Yup and buy the frozen broccoli. If you get the fresh stuff, it will go bad before you use it. It's called the ADHD tax.

It sucks but outsourcing sucks even more. They can pay people in other countries far less and half the time, it's the contractors who are training the offshore people to take over their jobs.

I wish they would talk more about the contract/temp and outsourcing in the white collar world. I've been contracting for the majority of the past 20 years. I would prefer a perm position but they keep getting harder to get. I don't get PTO, the insurance is unaffordable and few benefits.

We're talking two heads of the same snake. You can blame undocumented people but I will continue to blame the people hiring them. The business owners are the root cause. They are the ones who are taking advantage of people. They are the one's who don't care about their employees.

You sure are making a whole lot of assumptions about me. Unless it's my furnace or water heater, I don't hire anyone because I won't F with gas but I'm a broke single mom who has learned how to fix and install most things myself. Not because I'm cheap but because my children like to be fed.
