Having been involved in writing an HR manual or 2 (and more), the key is to tell your supervisor about it and if you can’t do that, one of you needs to find a new opportunity. Or stop dating.

They aren’t down because prices generally don’t go down unless the increase was due to a very specific event or supply or because something becomes perceived as undesirable. Trump lied.

I wonder if they will charge people who are middle age and older and sicker ridiculous prices so they can make more money on heavier users of the health care system? Why yes, they would.

This would be a selling point except for it means that 20% of the population won’t be able to buy any of the goods that these companies are selling at higher profit margin. So it’s not going to work out exactly as planned.

I have a daughter who is now 30 and have worked with youth programs for decades. There are two issues: 15 year old girls are not yet mature enough to give consent and they certainly can not manage relationships with adult men 5, 10, 15 and many more years their age

Using phrases like “” infused with divine Providence is absolutely disgusting when you’re talking about underage girls being sexually assaulted repeatedly by older men.

The choices will be for younger healthy people. And the rest of us who are middle-aged or older, or God forbid suffering from a chronic or even serious condition, will be left uninsured without access to healthcare.

I had a boy like this. We didn’t get upset when he had consequences for his actions. He had to learn. It also wasn’t fair to other kids to have him hijacking the classroom. He is a great young adult now, albeit with a bit of thar edge that sometimes serves him well and other times does not.

It is all so ridiculous because a different high end mall near them just closed. Water Tower may not make it but it has nothing to do with crime. People are just in person shopping a lot less and so there will be fewer big malls.

My parents who I was visiting in the chicago suburbs (and watch a lot of Fox) kept warning me to not go to Michigan avenue/the Gold Coast. Then when I came home and told them it was delightful as always and their info was wrong/dated, they couldn’t accept it. This is why they - Trump and Fox - lie.

I think the specific mall in question is water tower place which is struggling like many traditional malls. I was in chicago a few weeks ago and Michigan avenue was bustling. Street front real estate looked full.
