You can't really work a part-time job and graduate high school anymore. Most kids are facing 3 to 5 hours of homework a night on weekdays and more on the weekends.
Which is it? I read in places that homework is on its way out, because researchers say so. Then you come in, anecdotally, and say your kids are doing more homework than we ever did in the 80s. Then U.S. News comes and says the amount of homework hasn't really changed.
I'm really getting tired of this whole old economy Steve line of thinking where nobody over 40 can comprehend that things have changed. Am I the only person here who put a kid through high school and college and paid enough attention to realize that things aren't like they were when we were kids? Are you all just single or are you all just paying absolutely no attention to your kids?
I raised two daughters. One is a lawyer, the other medical student. It really wasn't that hard besides laying down some ground rules and sticking to them, ground rules that most parents would not put down today and certainly wouldn't stick to them. It's the fault of parents if the kids don't come up right. Things may have changed today, and any parent that can't adapt to seeing that and instill in their kids to adjust to circumstances fails as a parent. I still believe that hard work will pay off in the long run. Yes, you may find yourself in a situation where you're working hard and not appreciated. When you see that, you see something that's better. That's no different than how we used to do things. Just put your head down, continue to work, and stop complaining. If you're any good, your value will be known and you'll get your worth shortly. If you're not that good, well, then you're a dime a dozen and again no different than when you and I started the workforce 30 some years ago.
Places that allow billboards have city, county, and state approval, especially if it's in view of a highway. https://www.quora.com/I-own-a-... [quora.com]
That's referencing getting started with a brand new billboard. I all likelihood, a few companies own all the billboards as they have leased the ground from the owner and have worked with the state/county/local to get all the permits, with some caveats being in the contracts, like no profanity, no nudity (breasts, ass, and genitals most likely, since I've seen many for strip clubs in the i-80 tri-state corridor), and that's probably about it. I am fairly certain that if I wanted to advertise my consulting business on an existing billboard using the company that's renting the face of the billboard, the state/county/local would not be reviewing the content.
in your second sentence you say "It's not that what you find on some random website can't be true", so it could be true and therefore not nonsense.
You, yourself, wrote that what one finds on a random website could potentially be true. But you also wrote:
Correct that you are regurgitating nonsense you saw on some website.
If what I saw on a website can possibly be true, then it's not necessarily nonsense and could have some merit to it.
I don't think there's any convincing you otherwise, though and, as such, I'll leave the conversation. If you must have the last word, go ahead and respond, but I won't be anymore. You're not worth my time.
Correct that you are regurgitating nonsense you saw on some website. It's not that what you find on some random website can't be true, but it is true that it can't be trusted.
You contradict yourself here. If I'm regurgitating nonsense, then it can't be true, but in your second sentence you say "It's not that what you find on some random website can't be true", so it could be true and therefore not nonsense.You said the current push for "back to the office" in large corporations.
I never made the original claim. The Biden statements were made by "furry wookie", "noshellswell", and "Austerity Empowers". I just provided the supporting links.
Bottom line: don't believe it just because you saw it somewhere on the internet and it fits your preconceptions.
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have another method that works better? Those "somewheres" that I referenced appear to be legitimate sites, albeit usually slanted to the left.
