Like others, I now work remotely — for an agency out of California, personally. If you’re relatively new to the field, I think local work is a reasonable place to get your foot in the door. Junior remote positions seem harder to come by and I’d be concerned about how effectively you’d be able to learn from others in that environment.

It seems to me that Microsoft application programming is relatively big here, with Jack Henry being a large part of that. Being more interested in web development, I personally got on at Classy Llama a while back and I feel like, while the culture is weird and not for everybody, it was a great place to get technical experience that has led to me nearly tripling my salary and getting freelance work opportunities I might not have had otherwise. Mostly Serious also looks like a great place to work as a web dev though I’ve not personally worked with them.

At a certain point, like others, I did begin to feel like there was too little opportunity (and money, frankly) to stay local so I went remote and don’t anticipate going back local any time soon.

A lot of folks could benefit from 15 days of detox paired w 3 hots and a cot. Might be a good start. 🤷‍♀️

Patriot Disposal, aside from having an amazing name if you actually think about it, was the cheapest when I called around. $45/3 month bin fee+$9 for gas charge=$54/3 months, plus you get 3 months free when you sign up.

That's the joke, that's why I sed I have no Idea what there gaining other than torturing the homeless.

Definitely avoid. I was part of the class action lawsuit against them after they bought out Ozark Fitness and stopped honoring contracts. Scummy bastards.

Just gonna reiterate what was already said. Look for remote jobs from STL or somewhere else. I work remote for a company in STL. Much better opportunities.

They love having people in jail, they can ask for more state funding. This is not a solution.

Also follow Roots and Radicals on Facebook, they promote mostly punk and ska type shows.

Hour House was the only one of the three that actually had a license and they were using it for the other two. So it's the only one that can serve until they get the other two in order.

If I believed the republicans I would say china

I don't know. That's why I wrote about it. It's sad it takes a tragedy to see what is really there. I know I've started looking deeper at people. I simply ask 'are you doing ok?'. What if that's all it takes to turn someone around? I know it helped me when I was asked that question.

The law is about sleeping, not pan handling.

Yes I never had a problem with any of the psychs there. It was hard when some I grew very fond of that actually listened left though. Was hoping it'd be different at BiBi but the girl I had liked left soon, even though the place was so new. Now I feel pretty hopeless and it seems like they just want to put you on any medication for any little problem.

Pointing out the obvious never takes place in a question unless you're just being ignorant.

Wait, I thought we lived in America. Locking up homeless people "for their own good" seems pretty damn un-American.

Completely unnecessary rude comment looking to start an argument or something. I am asking if the new laws surrounding homelessness in Springfield effect pan handling. That is all.

Avoid at all costs.

I highly doubt there are many homeless people who can afford to spend $750 per night to sleep. There's no money to be made from fining people who dont have money, valueable possessions, jobs, homes, etc. This is going to just increase incarceration rates and we will pay for it with our taxes.

I left Springfield cause there was no normal jobs good luck

I also worked there for several years. Everyone thinks it's a great place to work, but we both know that in reality they have been riding their reputation as a good employer for years.

Everyone in my department was either forced out or fired so they could replace us with cheaper labor. It's a shame because it was, at one point, a good place to work.

I'd do that, but Mercy doesn't let it's GP's prescribe benzos like Clonopin or Ativan. But I've had my prescriptions done through my primary care physician in the past, and if you don't need controlled substances, they can be a good starting point.

Who do you think is growing the marijuana?

It's sad it took death to bring those ppl around where were they when he was alive?
