An important note here is that that's barely above minimum wage in Seattle.

A lot of states require balanced budgets, so they can't help. The bill cut funding for non-profits, so they won't be able to backfill as they have before.

The feds might do it because they know their followers will lap it up and say they stepped up without considering that they broke everything.

A little is good, but the entire premise of the article is that it's going to be VERY bad!

You'd think that as a social worker you'd have had to do bias training and as a result found out that everyone has biases.

How are the press supposed to hold people to account if they don't have a set of moral codes and the biases that result from that?

I wish it was only Miller, but the last few years shows that there are millions who agree with him.

Taylor Lorenz says what?

How is it fair that Michael Phelps has the advantages he does?

There are women basketball players who are 6'6+; how is that not an advantage?
