It’s been said before and I guess requires repeating: SCHOOLS CAN’T EVEN GIVE YOUR CHILD TYLENOL WITHOUT YOUR EXPRESSED WRITTEN CONSENT. And being the father of school-aged children, JD should know that unless he’s a terrible dad.

At 90k in 2018, you would be paying more than 50% of your income in rent. Assuming standard other bills, you will come up about 7k short a year. Also rent has definitely gone up since then and so has groceries and gas and everything else. 90k would be *underpaid* if you were remote.

Imagine hiring a senior level designer required onsite in LA and the top of the pay band is 90k. Folks, that wasn't enough in 2018, it's sure as hell not enough now.

When Schmitt was Missouri's AG he brought a lawsuit to stop student debt cancellation. The basic facts that lawsuit was based on were false. Getting the facts wrong is Schmitt's special skill, but when SCOTUS is politically motivated to do something the facts & law don't matter.

Old post but there's a question about dosages. Depending on your rx your dosage to interfere with may also be small. Are you willing to risk your medication being messed with? Birth control? ADHD meds? Antiseizure meds? Heart meds? Better safe than sorry etc.
