Any state that does this should not get any FEMA funding.

I understand that the company is protecting its liability or whatever.

The company can do that by training your boss not to ask questions related to your health.

Eh.....I'm willing to bet that he said that because Mark Robinson is black.

Not because he's any sort of civil rights activist.

I've actually been thinking about playing Fallout again. I don't even remember half the things you're talking about.

Ah the memories.

All tax benefits, from marriage tax deductions to corporate tax elimination, is the government picking and choosing which behaviors it wants to encourage.

That's why conservatives didn't want gay people to get married because they saw it as government endorsement of their behavior, and not the government recognizing equal rights.

I think the filibuster is a valuable tool that is important for defeating certain bad legislation

What might be bad for you might be good for someone else.

I agree with getting rid of the procedural filibuster. I suspect the reason it exists in the first place is because Senators are getting old and don't want to actually do it.

So, for good and bad, make them actually stand and deliver. If they feel so strongly that a bill needs to be killed, then let them fucking earn it.

I've seen some arbitration agreements stating that you can't collaborate with other customers who are affected by the same issue, requiring each customer to have a different attorney.

Some companies really want to make it impossible for you to win any significant damages against them.

At that point, they are just telling on themselves.

If they raise the price, then they only get money once. If they sell your data, now they have an income stream.

They are likely mad that their kid misses the bus which makes them late to work which makes them fall behind.

Not defending asshole behavior but I've seen enough parents race through my small neighborhood to drop off their kid at the bus stop.

We need to stop tying healthcare to our jobs. We need universal healthcare to make it easy for people to just go from job to job.

One of the main reasons I stay at my job is because they cover my Botox for migraines

Exodus 23:8: "Unless he's black and you know he deserves it anyway."
