I asked my brother's SLP, who works for the polyandrist misandrist, and they are doing all of the same nonsense, because this comes from the state.

They just don't have a raffle with $18,500 in prizes.

Presumably she would have a harder time giving away that much because she pays her contractors better.

Once more, there is only one agency in the area, run by the misandrist, who has been sued for back pay, and my brother's SLP has had repeated problems being paid on-time and in-full.

My two agencies are based in Phoenix, although will take anyone's money, but either they are passing up clients, or they aren't receiving them.

My brother's SLP says if she knew how her boss finds so many clients she would start her own agency, but I don't believe her.

She is lazy and that is far too much work for a 17.6% raise.

You're the sort of person that Scott Adams refers to when he talks about discrimination prejudice in the work place.

You're a professional, so I'll ask this. There was a time when I had opportunity to talk to a child not my own. I told and showed them that, if they were ever in a situation where they had to run with scissors, to grasp them by the pointy end, not the handles. Was I wrong? Or just obstructing parental authority.

On the bus I sat near a case worker with a teenager in tow, and she was explaining that she couldn't offer a ride in her car 'for both their safety'. The pushback from someone who didn't know how (to push back) made it a long drawn out converstaion. As I was getting up to leave, I said , with the most sarcasm I could muster "The important thing is we all live in fear". She just nodded and repeated "We must all live in fear". [shrug]

That's the only takeaway I got from Star Wars, that fear makes you super powerful and awesome.

That's odd, in an alternate time line Yoda says "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering".

Suffering isn't awesome.

Yeah, but Yoda was just a weird old swamp creature. The Emperor said to give into anger, and emperor is a much higher authority than swamp creature. Obviously to be emperor you've got to be much smarter than everyone else, and probably benevolent and omniscient.

Pretty sure Star Wars was advocating for believing all calls to fear, and surrendering liberty to anyone who says they have the solution.

Appeal to authority?

That's a deeper exegesis than I'd give it. I thought it was all about pew-pew and kaboom.

Well, that and metal bikinis.

The world is much bigger than Show Low. Once more - you voluntarily choose to live in a town where you cannot find full employment in your chosen field.

We prefer her that way.

That's great. When you make a choice you take the good with the bad.

My parents moved to Willamina OR to take care of my maternal grandmother for the last eight years of her life. Then the moved back to [relatively] bustling McMinnville.
