Really funny that every single retiree on this website thinks social security is some kind of bank account the government kept for them, and not a benefit being actively funded by today’s taxes

- Found on Reddit. This is notable to me because the IEP is a *legal* document, and since IEPs are so common nowadays, any model student in public school is likely to be explicitly used as a legally bound IEP accommodation without disclosure. It’s not merely a suggestion.
- The funniest part about the land sale discourse is that everyone living in the northeast who has tasted public land desperately wishes we had more of it out hereI love New Hampshire but it’s instructive in what happens when you forfeit public land; every single waterbody worth looking at is completely constricted by houses + all the land gets posted. If you don’t have a seaworthy vessel + a boat ramp and want to fish here, you’re toast.
- It’s come to my attention the general public is uniformly blaming this on AIAverage US electricity price over the years, per Axios:
- “The electricity comes out of my wall” “Ah, but what if the electricity stopped coming out of the wall?” “What do you mean? The electricity does come out of my wall.”
- I can’t help feeling like there’s a tremendous misallocation of labor. My corporate experience has included both dull people barely doing their jobs mysteriously kept afloat, bright and competent people terribly underused for impactful work
- This may be a silly q, but I was raised with the notion that as you approached retirement you were supposed to derisk and transition your portfolio into bonds. Are they just not doing this?For all you MAGA cultists who keep saying the market slump doesn’t matter bc 20 and 30 yr olds have plenty of time to make up losses, seriously, what is your answer for people retiring NOW who thought they were good until your guy fucked it up? What is your answer? Tough shit?
- Replying to @egreghostIf the “helpful peer” ceases to be helpful over time, can the school be held responsible for violating the IEP?
- Another unintended consequence of uniformly aged generations, and delayed childbearing.. it takes more effort to maintain traditions without a steady stream of young children from a kin network inspiring the adultsi was the youngest in my family there came a day where I was excited to do a thing: carve a pumpkin, dye eggs, go trick-or-treating, and I looked around and no one else in my family cared to participate in the "tradition" uniformly, these were the last times I did the things
- Replying to @JeffLonsdaleI think that’s a reasonable favor to ask of a 16yo. The replies are focused on elementary and middle school aged children, often girls, paired with delayed or disruptive peers as assistants in the absence of a para without telling their parents.
- Fun how in traditional engineering, a labor shortage doesn’t result in dramatically higher wages, everything just gets worse!
- Replying to @egreghostIf you take the time to scroll thru the comments it’s a mix of ‘never seen and never would put this in an IEP’ and ‘I have a ton IEPs with this’ and ‘I was this student’. Practice is liable to happen without the legally binding document too. Schools arent all the same.
- Replying to @egreghostI have a modest proposal: we should stop giving retirees money, and give it to me, a pregnant woman, instead.
- Replying to @egreghostI would like to apologize for the low effort tweet I fire off every time I see the tax deductions on my paycheck
