Politics: Student Loans aren’t the issue (IMO)
I'll be honest, part of my silence on my blog has been because what I want to talk about is politics and at the same time I don't want to talk about politics... And I have a toddler and a full-time job. But this one, is driving me a little crazy. And it isn't about… Continue reading Politics: Student Loans aren’t the issue (IMO)
SCOTUS: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
I started over the weekend trying to write about this opinion. I couldn't. I was too angry. My post was just angry. This decision was ugly and awful for a lot of reasons. And the one I AM going to talk about is the one which someone tried to use saying "it's just like Brown… Continue reading SCOTUS: Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
This might be politics, it might be life events, it will contain some memories. I didn't post anything on any kind of social media for days about this because it was painful. I am going to begin by saying this: I went to a school with a shooting. I went to Heritage High School, which… Continue reading Something: Thoughts on Uvalde
Politics: Hiring Politicians
You know what I wish? I wish candidates couldn't know who else was in the running for a position. I wish we could treat politicians like we treat job candidates. When I interview for a job, I have no idea about the other candidates. I have no idea if they are older, younger, more or… Continue reading Politics: Hiring Politicians
Politics: Healthcare solutions I want
The big discussion on the left to implement universal (single-payer/government/whatever) healthcare does not address a few issues I have with the current system. This isn't to say there aren't valid argument in favor of universal (single-payer/government/whatever) healthcare, but this post I want to lay out some other aspects I believe need to be solved for.… Continue reading Politics: Healthcare solutions I want
Politics: Failure of the voters
This is a conversation I've been mulling on lately. The idea actually was seeded from an issue I've had at work my entire career. I'm in corporate training, and a wall I have bashed against many, many times is the "incentive issue." To give an example I think most people have experienced - you call… Continue reading Politics: Failure of the voters
Politics: Death Penalty
I am against the death penalty. I decided to write about it this week because yesterday the Governor of Oklahoma commuted a man's death sentence hours before his scheduled execution. Seriously, he commuted the sentence at noon for a 4pm execution. And this is after a lot of protests, including school walk outs. God, I… Continue reading Politics: Death Penalty
Politics: Non-compete order
If you haven't heard, President Biden has asked the FTC to ban non-compete contracts for workers. (Click here to read AP's piece on it). THANK GOD. I have had a non-compete at almost every job I've ever worked at. Retail is probably the only exception. And I think for every job it has been BULLSHIT.… Continue reading Politics: Non-compete order
SCOTUS: I missed one
I missed a case being 9-0! Lange v. California. Again, this one is pretty clear-cut. A police officer turned on his lights to pull over a driver. The driver (Lange) was almost home and pulled into his garage. Lange then tried to claim the officer doing a sobriety test in his garage was a warrantless… Continue reading SCOTUS: I missed one
