  2. Have you ever walked off a job?

    I swear the following story is true, I swear - I am saying this as I don't believe it myself. I received a FB message from a Trump supporting gay man with whom I went to high school who read one of...

    I take it then that the events of January 6th, 2021 didn't mark a turning point for you, that you didn't seriously question the long term viability of the United States in January 6th's aftermath? ...

    IL, no offense, you are comparing apples and oranges here. Health care - especially when urgently needed - is a big deal and depending on the issue, potentially life saving. This does not compare in...

    YES! On some level you get it, IL. Exactly! Offshoring is extremely capitalistic of me - I have no problem admitting this. It's also payback for the excessive costs inherent in this citizenship,...
