Every set of my grandparents had a stay at home spouse, it is an ingrained part of American culture, you will never convince me that more than 40% of our population needs to work, because it doesn't.

I'm not falling for the propaganda.
I would like to state for the record that I am totally cool with folks getting paid to stay at home and do whatever is good for them. That thing we did in the beginning of the pandemic: paying people to stay safer, housing folks, and meeting their needs? Man, that was great. We should do more of it.
It is funny/sad how study after study after study shows that a Universal Basic Income (or something similar) would be far cheaper than the mess done now in the USA, in Canada, and in other nations. But too many worry that someone somewhere will get paid to stay at home. Sigh.

New article: ASWB made troubling changes to its exam process.

Then it misinformed examinees about those changes.

ASWB misinformed examinees about social work exam changes
ASWB made problematic changes to the format of its social work exams. It also described a testing process different from what was delivered.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

MOHELA is supposed to be open 7am -8pm Central time, so tell me why when call at 845am eastern time the office is closed. Plus wait times these days are stretching to 190 minutes and longer. Why didn't they hire more staff for us all going back to payment?
