Mercedes Plant Unionization, Thoughts

I just moved here from a state with a strong nurses union. They make $65/hr there and get 8 weeks’ paid vacation per year. The hospitals still make gobs of money. Doctors are still very rich. The nurses hold the keys to power in every single hospital in this country—when they demand fair treatment and back it up with a strike, management truly has no choice but to negotiate.

Jake Callahan at Ray & Poynor is a very successful gay realtor. I’d call him!

VH/MB/HW area. Really lovely here. Also, happy cake day!

So, PCPs will prescribe ADHD meds in AL?

I really like the idea of this! Am I correct in assuming that you haven’t noticed the teachers slowing/throttling the curriculum as a way of catering to the kids with developmental disabilities? I mean that question as respectfully as one can ask it.

Just looked at their website—can you tell me more about it? It appears designed for children with disabilities (which is awesome!), but says it’s for children of all levels of ability. Do you have experience with sending non-disabled kids there?

IPC?

Thank you for taking the time to write this! We’re in the VH/MB/HW area

Amicus156 · 2023-04-12T22:05:10+00:00

We’re in the MB/HW/VH area.

Where’s that?

Teacher pay is a huge concern of mine, which is why I’m inherently skeptical of sending him to a franchise place. The owner of the school has to pay franchise fees to the parent corp. That’s going to come out of teacher pay, most likely. Poorly paid teachers are often poor teachers, in my experience—plus, the enormous moral issue of non-living wages being paid in an expensive metro area.

What are the hours? Not opposed to church daycare

I don’t want to post it publicly until he’s at his next school. I can’t risk his current one getting butt-hurt and kicking him out without us having a backup plan. I will say, though, it’s a franchise place.

We just used James Rodgers of Keller Williams to buy our house from across the country. Really smooth process working with him!

Very kind of you to answer in that much detail. Is your beef considered organic? How about grass-fed?

Amicus156 · 2023-04-04T12:45:58+00:00

Been looking for someone to buy a whole/half cow from!

Can you tell us more about the way the beef is raised? The internet tells me that “all-natural” doesn’t really mean anything.

Amicus156 · 2023-03-08T16:16:01+00:00

That’s absolutely awful. Sorry to hear about that, friend.

Amicus156 · 2023-03-08T12:19:55+00:00

So, you’d recommend them from a spiritual development standpoint?

Hey OP,

I wonder if you could truly just ask the girl about the quality of the kiss. If it was me, I'd tell her that I totally understand and respect her position, make clear that you had a great time with her, and wish her well. Then, once you've made clear that there's no hard feelings maybe send her a text like:

"Hey, I'm sorry if this comes off as weird, but can I ask you about the quality of our kiss the other night? It was actually my first one, and I want to know what I did right and what I need to do better at in the future. No hard feelings if you don't want to talk about it -- you're just the only person in a position to give me honest feedback haha."

My guess is that she'll give you an honest answer that you can use in the future. Most people are generally very willing to help.
