It is a goal to be able to disappear after Thanksgiving and reemerge in June.
After multiple years of doing this now, I completely understand going to a warm climate location during a NY/East Coast winter

Lol lol lol lol lol… so a cheaper less viable social safety net
Could $1,000 “Trump Accounts” for newborns, plus an additional $250 for some children 10 and under, convince Americans to have more kids?
They may not, but supporters say the accounts show the government is dedicating attention to children.

Imagine thinking a measly $1250 is an improvement over adequate healthcare and safety nets.
That doesn't even cover diapers and daycare for a month.

Parents who are both crushed with a shit job, both having to work overtime just to stay afloat, don't have as much time for endless bureaucratic hoop jumping and means-testing as parents not being ground down.

Wealth gives parents *time*, time to navigate deliberately labyrinthine bureaucracies, time to prepare for a confusion of paperwork and deadlines, etc.
Simply having extra time available, makes it easier for a parent to get their kid accomodations.

I keep thinking about LSAC data saying students with accommodations get higher scores.
The most obvious possibility to me is not "some students unfairly get accommodations"; it is, "people with wealth are more likely to get accommodations."

Does anyone else have a food they hate beyond reason and just won't eat no matter how well someone prepares it? I don't necessarily mean a whole dish, it can be a single ingredient. For some people it's the thing where cilantro tastes like soap to them.
