If the answer always seems to be tax the rich more, we don't seem to be doing a very good job of it.

What do you mean? It's all on the totally honest and transparent wall of receipts.

The man is a fortune teller!

This is strikingly similar to the red scare of the 40s and 50s.

UNACCEPTABLE! Man, that was so great. The hype around that game was insane. So many celebrities brought in to see the great coach k one more time. And just completely spoiled it for them. So sweet.

Everyone is to blame except for you. What is it like to go through life with no sense of introspection?

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Dealing with health concerns is so challenging and can really make you feel helpless at times. Sending all the best and hope that things start to improve soon.

I certainly don’t know the circumstances of every firing that has occurred, but I personally know people who have been let go despite ratings of commendable or outstanding. And I have not seen or heard any indication that that the actual performance of employees plays any roll in who gets fired.

I also work for an agency that receives no taxpayer funds. We are fully fee funded and excess revenue goes back to the general fund. 90 employees were fired yesterday.

This is total insanity. It feels like everything is falling apart all at once. It's really hard to imagine how/if things get back on track.

Yeah. That's really interesting. Even with just one quadrant being effected, my biggest issue, by far, is reading. I really like to read and my job requires a lot of reading. I've learned to cope with it and I can still read, just not as quickly as I used to. It's a real pain trying to watch a...

Fascinating topic and thread. The first picture in the OP popped up to my wife in facebook or instagram or something a couple of weeks ago. It led to a discussion where we discussed where we think we fall on the scale. I'm more towards the hyper- end and she's more towards the hypo- end of the...
