Inflation is 88 percent since y2k. Excited for a 50k a year job out of college in the year 2000? That’s 90k now. 7.25 minimum wage from 2000? Should be at least 13 now. It isn’t, should be.
People are alway “oh, money doesn’t go as far as it used to”, but they don’t get how dramatic it is.
I can’t say you’re wrong, I just think theres a line between can and can’t removes discretion. Given the budget and produce to make nice healthy meals, the school hopefully try to get kids healthy food. But sometimes a sad kid needs an oreo, or a kid needs shelf stable food to eat over the weekend, let the locals do it and not ban all garbage food.
I don’t think you’re coming from a bad place, I just feel like there are competing interests between whats good for kids physically and economicaly (long term) vs short term (mentally). We want schools to do both, and ideally with healthy great food. but I’m sure you have needs for terrible food sometimes, judgement free, and denying that comfort and calories because you think they should like better food, doesn’t feel great. ideally, healthy whole local food…but also some baby steps into it maybe?
I have mixed feelings on this. Multiple family members worked in public schools, and a lot of kids want garbage processed foods. They know and like fruit loops and gold fish. They also like tomatoes and fresh fruit sometimes, but sometimes they just want comfort foods. I fully support healthy options and funding school lunches to the point they are delicious and nutritious, but you gotta meet some of these kids where they are, not where you want them to be.

bummer…i see berry and asparagus prices down now…
I’m going to sound like a hater, but the food in season and local is what you should be eating, and that will always be the cheapest. If you’re talking processed food brands and shit in boxes in the middle of the store, I’d argue none of it is worth the extra money, its all bad for you, stop. That said, the frozen arby’s curley fries are bomb, and no one does cheesey things like cheetos or smartfood.
Stallman eats things off his feet, is a terminal creep around women, and a terrible songwriter. But he’s been correct about software licensing, how companies will use and abuse Free software, and enormously consistent about it over the years.
So yeah, he kinda sucks, but when he talks about licensing and freedom, I listen.
Nozzle for a pressure washer. Flat sides on the back seem to indicate you can use a wrench to tight it on something, like a hose or fitting.
Anyone who figured out messaging beyond “Look how bad Trump is, even Bush republicans won’t vote for him” probably wins that election. No one had a broad vision to latch for sale, and no one did anything inspiring.
A lot of places self insure, but some already buy insurance as you describe. Qualified immunity is a pretty high bar to get over, but some people do get settlements. I’d argue insurance should have to be bought by the officer, or their union to have any effect on their behavior.

You’re 25, unless your dream job is social media manager, you have 10+ years before anyone starts using your age against you. No matter which job you take, you can always pivot, just spend a few minutes crafting a narrative.
You can learn at any company. The financial company is going to give you a lot of space to learn process and compliance, and probably be infuriatingly slow, but you’ll probably come out with a different opinion about risk. The IoT start up is probably going to let you have more independence and playing with rando tech, and you will learn more about work life balance and your own working habits there.
If you’ve never worked remote, take the contract and see how much that flex is worth to you monetarily. You might be surprised. I would rather rub shit in my hair than wear a suit to an office everyday. But then again, maybe you love volley ball that much.
I’m in the states, but it’s the same here. Success and thriving is the autistic kid not being disruptive to their classmates. So for now, our kid is homeschooled. We’re lucky enough to not have to expose him to being overwhelmed 40 hours a week. Maybe he’ll try again in a few years, but for now, stay at home mom is killing it.
Theres an impedance mismatch in expectations, I’m expecting my owed publicly provided education, but they are providing* trauma inducing childcare.
That said, I get it. The school departments aren’t set up or funded for individualized education plans, if they were we’d be in a much better position. They are setup for take care of the fat part of the curve of students, and identify and neutralize disruptions. If classes were closer to a 1 to 5 ratio, if teachers were given more control, it could be different. If educators got more than a handful of 1 hour seminars on sped needs, pda, sensory issues, they would certainly handle it better.
