I'm a happily married father of a gloriously stubborn little girl who got her ADHD from me. My wife is an incredibly patient woman. It is impossible to overstate that.
I'm also a writer, retired substitute teacher, Phd, and relatively okay guy.

@APBBlue Part-time? (ha!)

Reminds me of the joke/story of the welder who was asked by a hiring official to demonstrate his skills. The job had been posted with pay of $15-$30/hr. The welder made two welds - one technically OKish but sloppy, the other amazingly precise and just about perfect.

The official asked him why they were so different, and the welder said "that one is what you get for $15/hr., and that other one is what you get for $30/hr."

Deploying troops on your own soil has, historically, been a sign of weakness for a dictatorship. Just saying. #politics

Theoretically, #capitalism allows anyone to become wealthy, but in reality only those with the most money, connections with powerful people, and free time to pursue the goal of becoming more rich (all things that poor people who have to work long hours or several jobs just to survive don't have) are able to become rich. 2/2

@tofugolem @DaveRussell Americans should watch this...

That's for 2015, I'm sure the same curve for 2024 is much worse, given that life expectancy is falling in the United States.

Life expectancy vs. health expenditure

The period life expectancy at birth, in a given year. Health expenditure includes all financing schemes and covers all aspects of healthcare. This data is adjusted for inflation and differences in living costs between countries.
