@jessdkant … it leaves the average reader at a loss and even distrustful. Me, I make a point of seeking out trans responses, which are frequently convincing. But how many readers are going to wade through the vitriol to do that? I hear too many cis people backing away from the online rage - and with so many legislators now trying to outlaw trans existence, I get more frightened for trans lives every day.

@aaron @kissane Let’s not mythologize pensions. My father had what was considered a very good one. When he passed four years ago, and I went through his finances, I discovered the checks were just about $900 a month. Thank God for Social Security.

@kissane Maybe I’m not understanding but don’t you have this backwards? Employees always shoulder risk, which is why they’re laid off in any downturn, or when any new efficiency develops. Unions mean employees will share rewards, which owners never want to do.
