Confession Friday
Re: Confession Friday
In my defense the was no "order here" sign and the speaker was about 4 inches big and kinda covered in snow.
If one more person tells me, in a derogatory tone,that I'm "skinny" I might swear out loud for the first time ever. Coworkers of mine were talking about diets and stuff and I suggested making the food they love to eat at home. They said I don't have to watch what I eat because I'm so skinny. They are almost the same size as me! And I'm not skinny, i just have a small waist. But i also have large hops and thighs that I am perfectly okay with.
It bothers me when people flat out tell me I'm skinny because i have been hearing that my whole life.
I guess my thought is I'd rather use and pay for college once, and not for the rest of my life for everyone else. I'm all for tuition caps to keep it affordable. Maybe even for daycares, because the prices I heard of are crazy. I know I am so so so blessed to have my parents take care of E for me for a fraction of the cost.
Minimum wage hike seems nice but not when you're getting taxed quadruple. $20 * 33 = 660/ wk. Since taxes is 75%, you basically keep one week, govt takes the other 3 weeks.
@willyh1020 - The downside could be that with more people having degrees, that won't set you apart and you have to keep going to get an edge. Will this just be undergrad? Masters? Where's the line? Example - in PA, there's so many people with elementary ed degrees there's not enough jobs. We've been out of college since 2007, and my roommate still has not found a perm teaching job in the Philly area. She's basically became the go-to long-term sub for teachers on ML.
I also question quality after the gov't takes it over. I guess from working here, I know all the red tape that comes with the gov't slapping their name on something. There's been a few countries experiencing sub-par care with the universal health insurance. Even here, there are plenty of VA horror stories.
I think it's hard to compare a country of 4 million with one with 320mil. Also, nothing is free, it's got to come from somewhere. There's no way our country will allow even doubling taxes, even if it meant "free" stuff.
I confess that I am mad at my mom. She told me yesterday that she has a retirement party for a coworker tonight and I was going to ask her to watch O so H and I could go out to dinner. My mom has no idea I was going to ask and is definitely entitled to a social life. I just wanted to go out with my H!
