I’m not wasting time on someone intent on “winning” than on inner standing. Maybe you really don’t get it, somehow I doubt it. The bottom line is, if you can’t post everyone a living wage (more than scraping by), you can’t afford to be in business or you’re too greedy.

Of course not. I never said otherwise, and said everyone should be decently paid.

And you’re still saddled with responsibility for the whole crew, the whole job and coming in on budget. Mental work saves the body but at mental expense. Maybe C-suite and board should take pay cuts so everyone gets decently paid for quality work with quality tools and quality materials.

Truth.

That your head is in the sand? Sure.

Sad because it is true.

The Palestinian people are very much in danger of being final solutioned, under our sitting president.

I hate to be "that guy,” but I must say it. This isn’t “good luck United States,” wrt USA elections; it is literally, “good luck, world!” I sincerely wish us all a much more liberal government, while I wholeheartedly prefer actual leftist government.

This is sad, imo. My country makes a lot of noise about how certain governments prevent individual citizens from interacting with us in various ways, punishing individuals; but then we exclude a lot of our own individuals from visiting say, Cuba.

Tbf, Russia and China seem very much capitalist economies, but I’m not an economist, so there’s that. But an authoritarian is an authoritarian, regardless of where on the spectrum they fall.

It’s just another myth that describes a mythical hero on their journey. It’s too easy to take everything too literally, or too metaphorically. I use a lot of judeochristian metaphors, allegories, etc, but I imagine if I’d been raised Buddhist, I’d use a lot of Buddhist metaphors, or any other religion. I’m aware a lot of people will take offense to that, and that’s not my intent. Imo, getting hung up on the veracity misses the point the story is trying to make, in the first place. Imo, that’s what the “ears to hear, eyes to see” metaphor means.

Just refer her to the “hero’s journey” entry on Wikipedia?

The Stasi are alive and in overdrive!

Don’t worry, the prolifers* only want post-partem abortion legal!

Autocorrect strikes again.

This harkens back to Bill Clinton’s ridiculous impeachment (looking at you, Bill Barr, Ken Starr, George Conway) and his ridiculous defense, “It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is,” in which a very young and naïve woman was the sacrificial lamb.

Marching with the proud boys, et al.

Yes, the clown chakra is certainly open, spewing it’s poison everywhere. The yellowjack transmissions coming through, showing us who we really are, what god we really serve. Probably a bunch of fine Christians are complicit and/or approve. The old gods need to die already.

No judgement, just a notation, friend.

A nice RV kind of misses the point of “hobo.” So does “hobosexual,” but that’s a different topic.

Like most other agencies designed to"protect" people, they’ve been severely refunded, which relates back to your answer.
