| You cannot live off of $100 a month . The Federal poverty line (which hasn't been revised since 1968, when a loaf of bread was 22 cents, a gallon of gas was 28 cents, a car cost $2,425, and a house; $24,600) is ten times more than you make. Even if you could make $12,000 a year (which is less than ... |

I know that both are, probably, fictitious, (I know Richard the Lionhearted was real, because I'm a descendant of his.)
, and may have lived a couple of hundred years apart, but I'm wondering, based on some of the legends of both, how they'd have gotten along together. |

| Like I've said, I'd always make sure I was vaccinated myself, which is my defense against those who aren't. Everybody's happy. That in itself is a big red flag about these vaccines. If the 95% or so of people that got vaccinated can still be infected by the 5% that didn't, then what good is the vac... |

I don't think it's illegal, per se, in that there's no way, unless it doesn't work, to actually punish anyone who breaks that law if they actually do it.
That said, I do support outlawing assisted suicide. |

| I work in the tech industry, something I had studied for and wanted for a long time. For a brief while I considered accounting because it sounded quiet, repetitive, and solid as far as job prospects and pay went. But the attitude as of late has been you should work in a tech and since I had more in... |

They take the most-seriously disabled people first, then they'll get to people like me (with high-functioning autism spectrum). This morning I got rejected from the grocery cashie... |

| If the apologists cannot perceive the utter ugliness of what is happening, no words can reach their closed minds. This is a tragedy on so many levels.

| It's evolving. It's moving a bit Left on labor rights while also moving even further libertarian, in some areas, toward anarchy, especially when taking unconstitutional or even legal, but oppressive, orders from those in authority. And socially I'm conservative. |

| Depends on what the job is, but most people are taught to do things on their own or to follow someone's lead, but I agree, with conditions, it can be very trying and get very hard to satisfy every one element of a company's prerogative to achieve something. The point is, nobody ever shows you how t... |
