Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

I just paid $176 round trip to be able to sit with my son on an 8 hour flight to/from Europe and I was fucking incensed. I’m traveling with a 4 yr old and choosing a seat, any seat, cost $44 each. Not a premium seat just any old seat. If I didn’t, we’d be seated separately.

78% of surveyed professional women in marine science experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, in case anyone still wrongly believes this is a matter of just partying too much in college. www.womeninoceanscience.com/sexual-haras...

My friend, whose husband has an open DCF case & documented repeated verbal abuse to spouse, filed a restraining order against him and it got denied because "he has no history of physical abuse against his spouse." Just extreme verbal and physical abuse to kid. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING, PEOPLE???

I’ve had my eye on Bruins tickets for my son’s birthday and good lord a non-conference game will cost us over $500 for 3 people’s tickets (nosebleeds), food, and transportation. $1000+ if we stayed the night in Boston 💸💸💸. MAKE SPORTS ACCESSIBLE TO FAMILIES JFC

My son and I read his first chapter book at bedtime (he’s 4, I read it to him over several nights). But I’m so happy he has books like this reflecting his culture, especially since there aren’t a lot of Asians/Koreans where we live.

In a local mom group a woman asked where to get passports renewed for her kids. About 20 people tell her to do it online even though IN HER POST she notes that you can't do it online. "Do it online, it's so much easier and less stress than doing it in person!" YOU. CAN'T. DO. IT. ONLINE. FOR. KIDS.

So the $100k H-1B fee was "vacated" earlier this summer. Not one case that it previously applied to and now does not has been adjudicated yet. People paid $2,965 for Premium Processing and USCIS just blows by the 15 day deadline and has not adjudicated them. They are effectively ignoring the courts.

In response to this, the DeSantis administration releases a statement saying that they'd make this outrageous cage "even smaller if we could." The Department of Homeland Security's own Inspector General said it violated every detention standard and posed a significant danger to health and safety.
"At least ten million illegal aliens entered our country under the Biden administration. Florida decided to do something about it," Lanfranconi said. "The left-wing media wants to focus on a confinement area for violent criminal aliens who have proven they cannot remain peaceful while awaiting deportation. While it adheres to all federal standards for criminal confinement, we'd make it even smaller if we could."

25 years later and The Onion’s ParentCorner 9/11 explainer from immediately after the attack is a better understanding of the threat environment than the one produced by the U.S. government.

It’s the day before the first practice. Don’t know who the coach is. Don’t know what field. Don’t know where/when to get uniforms. Had to beg the director of the whole program this past week to get on the mailing list and all it said was “starts 9/12.” But they sure took our payment quickly.
