$7.25 x 40hrs wk x 52wks a yr.= $15,080.00.
That’s NC’s minimum wage, which is federal min wage. How many can support themselves alone or a family on $15k/yr. That’s before FICA. Who can do it? I couldn’t. 100,000s struggle in this poverty wage. Raising fed min wage is vital.

How do fully-armed and trained men feel when an unarmed young woman who’s job is to work with kids shows more bravery than they do at the job they are tasked to do? Somebody ask them?

Expecting our first child in 1979. Our pediatrician (old guy) got all us pregs together, said he asked 1 thing: When your baby’s born, send the imaginary child to heaven and love the one you get even more. Prepare to do this several times as they grow. Your real kid is the best.

What is a 38yro man, with no responsibility over a girl or in her home, poking around a wastebasket in her specifically-designated private bathroom? Gossiping about her periods to a whole bunch of adults who weren’t there and also have no responsibility? Hard lines or no contact.

The F-word is widely used, and it makes me uncomfortable because it sounds violent.These officers used violence in every word and gesture to an unarmed mother and little children. Every police chief needs to meditate on these actions and ask “How is the community served?”
@shannonrwatts
One man killed a person and gravely injured two, all with his gun in front of his tiny child. Another man stood between his disabled son and a man with a gun attempting to de-escalate a situation, for which his whole family is shot. Which father did the better Dad thing?

My guess: she’s introspective and extrospective, communicates her truth by music, one that’s almost universal for girls/women. She’s gifted, lovely, rich, powerful, leaves a cultural mark, beyond their control, uncaring of their opinions. Drives ‘em nuts.

For an ordained Christian minister to support a human being’s criminality, lower than an ape, who waits for estrus signals and approaches for acceptance by a female, makes me not even want to know who credentialed him, and increases esteem for women-led churches.
