The quote from the article sums up their position so well. They want to make sure their kids hold their biases against people they feel are lesser. They want to be bullies.

you must spend a lot of time on weird subs

reddits a great place to gather insight that could aid in making an informed decision.

The cynic in me wants to laugh at "they care about us". I'm a queer, autistic woman with a functioning uterus. I know for sure some of them don't care if people like me are okay.

People think I'm rude or uninterested when I look down or keep my head down in classrooms or to speakers in meetings, I'm actually trying to focus on what I'm listening to. By removing visual overload.

We've only started seeing them in this area within the past few years. 20 years ago even Hawk Mountain would only have one or two sightings a year. It's amazing how well the population has come back!

And here I thought universities were left wing socialist inductrination centers.

Nothin' made me feel better than flying into Philly and seeing Nutters goofy mug at the bottom of the escalator smiling at me. II knew then, I had arrived.

Lmaooooo time for the graduate workers to get a real job.

Doing his part to grow hype for Sunday!

Go Birds

Go birds!

Usually out here by harrisburg we usually only see them near the river or up higher flying so when this beauty stopped to eat a roadkill deer everyone was stopping

I never saw an eagle until I moved up here and I still get all giddy when it happens.

Good. I hate those things lol. They can all run away

If you are a graduate student at temple, you probably didn’t have a lot of other options… Temple is very underfunded compared with other universities.

As a temple grad, I'm disgusted. Healthcare should be a right, not something to snatch away for striking.

go look at real medical bills. the argument doesn't need nuance or intelligence anymore. it's really simple: you don't fuck millions of people over while as a senator, you fly to canada or israel for affordable healthcare:

Scranton is the biggest city of all of these and probably has the most to do. I think it’s the fifth largest city in the state.

but it's NOT in the employer's best interest to screw over the employees.... IF they have a genuine desire to keep their reputation so they can hire the best employees in the future.

it might be best interest in terms of SHORT TERM financial gain, which, too, is a problem.

forgetting about the free market, there is a real, visible problem: Young folks who can't get insulin really do drop dead every year.

Should government really be able to step in and save its dying young citizens? By just straight up buying them some insulin, without waiting for the paperwork or the insurance to kick in at a new job?

Thanks! I’m actually not sure where exactly he works but now I’m curious lol, I’ll ask him tomorrow. Sounds like you might be correct.

You are actually making a very good case for government intervention here. As you are pointing out, in a totally free market system with an inherent monopoly (which GA positions often de facto become), it is 100% within the employer’s best interests to screw over the employee as much as they can.

But that is exactly why the government should be able to step in to even the power dynamics between employer and employee, especially during strikes, unionization, and contract negotiations.

Thank you for illustrating that point so vividly.
