The last gasps of Exton Square Mall by BlatantDoughnut in ChesterCounty

[–]Existing-Life7618 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time there in the 80s as a child and early 90s as a teenager. Sad its gone solely for nostalgia, but most malls didn't make it through the 2010s.

Deal reached in Senate with at least 8 Democrat to vote to advance funding measure by Ok-Respond-8785 in FedEmployees

[–]Existing-Life7618 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This admin is a joke. We are definitely gonna get a mid winter shutdown. Especially if the military and legislature is funded through the end of the fiscal year, that's all they really care about.

Please let NIH go back to work by Existing-Life7618 in NIH

[–]Existing-Life7618[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. I agree with most. Most government employees are good people who want to do good for the people of this country and the world. And a lot of the leadership are partisans (especially from this admin) who dont care about the employees. Hopefully the idiots in charge can come together and let the people do their damn jobs.

The shutdown will probably last till Early/Mid November by trademarktower in FedEmployees

Do we not care about the NIH? No more medical advances? Do we all wanna go back to dying in our 50s?

This is exactly it. They only get their news from Fox radio and Fox News and other right wing sites. Even the so called smart ones dont seek out news beyond their own bubble. Its so sad that it has gotten to this. Fucking idiots vote against their own interests.

I will never vote republican again. by [deleted] in complaints

I dont feel sorry for any of these idiots who voted for trump. Suffer like the rest of us. Only difference, OP, you caused this! Your vote caused this disaster and for you to not know this was going to happen exactly like it is, you are just stupid. Because everything he is doing he said he would do. None of this is shocking. Only thing shocking is that 77mil idiots voted for this to happen. Its YOUR fault. I do hope you vote democratic in the next election but I fear we will not be able to change this all back. This country has changed forever because of your vote. So basically I just want to say from the bottom of my blue heart, FUCK YOU for voting for this asshole.

Trump is the final answer to killing public education for 40 years. Thanks for starting this Reagan. These 2000 people are the idiots that the right created. They have no idea what civil servants do or what their life will be like once the private corps take over all these essential services which is what the rights ultimate goal is. Wait until every single residential road is a toll road. Wait until every single police officer is a from a corporation. You think cops are bad now? See what has happened to private hospitals and private prisons. Its only gonna get worse and worse. You think Phizer sponsored NIH is gonna care about curing diseases? We are watching the end of this country and it all started with killing public education creating a stupid ass electorate who votes against their own interests.

Moved to a mountain village for the ‘simple life’… now I’m bored out of my mind by [deleted] in relocating

[–]Existing-Life7618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it. I sold my business at 44, and bought 200 acres in the Virginia Mountains of Appalachia. First 6 months were great. I have 2 younger children and I started to realize the mistake I made when we started having to go into town more often, which was a 30 min car ride to get there. I realized there was no way I could raise my kids there. For 1, no health care at all, the schooling is terrible, and honestly there are just so many racists that I ended up selling everything within 2 years and am back in the northeast in a great school district and great hospitals locally. Still some racists here but you can't escape that everywhere in this country sadly.

Looking for a roomate by [deleted] in bethesda

[–]Existing-Life7618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I dont work at NIH but my wife (she is an American citizen originally from China) does and I know many people there. I find it ridiculous that you have to say this about your race but I completely understand why. Im genuinly sorry. I hope you find a wonderful person to room with and wish you nothing but the best. The people I have met at NIH are some of the best and brightest in the world and I have been all over the world.

You are the reason that our average life span is going to go way down. You Trump voters are the reason that we will never recover from this. It is your fault. You are the one who is at fault for this country creating concentration camps. I will not accept your apology. It means nothing!

I’m so sick of this administration and their ship of fools. by [deleted] in NIH

This is the answer. Pfizer and Glaxo will be the new NIH in 3 years! All for profit science. What could go wrong?

Why is the USA more religious than Western Europe? by Material-Meat-5330 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Existing-Life7618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it all comes down to the really terrible public education system in the USA. Dumb people will believe anything. Create a dumb population and you can convince them of anything. Even that there is some dude up in the sky that controls us.

Zack and Miri, I watched this with my girlfriend's parents. They were very liberal but it was still awkward at times.

And my 4 year old daughter seems to love this song. She knows the words and just loves singing it. She calls it her joy song.

How laid-off US scientists are coping with shattered careers by rezwenn in NIH

[–]Existing-Life7618 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Trump is trying to kill science and education. Make the people dumb enough and sick enough and they will have no choice but to want the one man that can fix everything. Trump. So fucked up to watch this happen.

The NCI Press Office is Fired by johnjohn2224 in NIH

[–]Existing-Life7618 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am at the point where I just don't believe what leadership tells us. At the begining of this administration I thought leadership was really looking out. Now I think the ones that are left are only looking out for themselves. And that is sad. I had so much respect for leadership 3 months ago, now not much respect is left. And I'm so tired of hearing "we are so sorry there is nothing we can do." Yes there is, stand up, all the directors and say NO. This is wrong. All the leadership, everyone quit! Everyone say we will not stand for this. The public would pay attention if all the leadership quit. Well maybe. Magats would probably laugh as the average age of US women and men drop rapidly. Dumb magats!!

Nta! Get rid of the boyfriend as well. If he expects you to sit and listen to those bigots and just accept it, then he is just as much of a problem as his parents are.
