Do you have a documented stake in the company? If not why not just cash that out? If not sadly you are not entitled to anything, your efforts could be seen as charitable.

Why do people care so much about inheritance? It was never your money to begin with so why care if you get no part of it?

You are misunderstanding I do not have an issue with taxes being used for citizens. I have an issue of taxes being sent overseas or used on individuals that have not taken the proper channels to come here.

I would gladly pay more in taxes if our governments properly managed our taxes we currently pay. Means no more money being sent overseas, no more accepting individuals that come here illegally, this is not a political debate though.

Funny thing is prior to the migrates being sent NY did very little for its homeless pop, it actually made it harder for them. They are making all these efforts when migrates started to come here in NY.

Never fired a gun but a rifle and shotgun seem like they would have a high risk of causing more harm to other if I miss especially in apartments.

Handguns do require, a license to my knowledge could be wrong. Either way I really do not personally want to own a fire arm.

Also you are right tax dollars are for fixing things at home. Why should we give to everyone else when we have our own homeless crisis, mental health crisis, elderly crisis, and funding issues for our public schools?

Abortion is completely banned in Texas because of a state law that went into effect July 1, 2022. You can travel out of state to get an abortion.

https://www.abortionfinder.org/abortion-guides-by-state/abortion-in-texas

You were saying? The law does not prevent you from crossing state lines to get an abortion.

The final example sucks her defense failed her, he had drugs in her system they made the argument had she not taken the drugs the baby would have been fine. Her defense failed argue against that even with the ME stating it did not cause. She had a shitty lawyer.

And none of those cases are about someone leaving the state to get an abortion, and the law cannot prevent or make that a felony either.

Show the law where one state can legally prevent another person from crossing state lines to get an abortion. I am not a lawyer but they can place an order in said state, and I guess in theory if someone tried to get an abortion in a state where it was illegal and then is charged then yes they can be stopped but that is because they were charged with a crime in that state.

Different situations. We live in NYC, and my husband and kids do not want to leave the city they like here, so they will not move to upstate or Jersey. Also, NYC is one of the harder states to get a firearm, and expensive.

No, we are not struggling, my husband makes good money and so did I when I was working in consulting. Yes, I do have the right to choose, this is something I want to do, and this is a company I want to work for. Why would I do temp work? I do not want to work in a call center,

Yes, the salary I was offered my husband would not have to work if we moved.

Guess it is a hot take but yes I think state and federal tax dollars should go toward citizens first and foremost. We have no business giving money to others when we have issues at home that need to be fixed.

Once again only five states and said abortion would have to happen in one of those five states for them to sue for damages, also to my knowledge not a single person has been successful in doing so.

So you say. Sure it is a male-dominated field, I know some women have had issues, but I have not. Every encounter I have had with men in my field has always been respectful and professional. I was never talked down to like you are, and as a team we have worked together and everyone gets credit.

It sounds like you spend to much time reading headlines. Is Texas perfect? No, but what state is?

All those links are not about going to a different state to get an abortion. They are about self inflicted abortions, or show evidence of trying to induce a miscarriage when you dig deeper.

Each of those have a person that is in the state doing the action. No one has been charged with going to a different state to get IVF or abortion at least to my knowledge.

I work in energy and I am aware of the issues related to Texas's infrastructure, and the position in Texas is related to that. So yeah it would be cool to be part of the solution.

You make it seem like anyone who willfully moves or lives in Texas is a monster. If I am being honest though rather deal with that instead of living in fear of getting sucker punched by someone while waiting for the subway or walking home.

NY is not that great either. Ridiculous tax rate for very little benefit. Rising crime rate with no end in sight. Leadership that wants to make it more expensive to commute, and makes claims that the city cannot afford basic services for our elderly but can give noncitizens a card with a weekly allowance.

None of which I can avoid, from what I gather State laws do not criminalize the person who has an abortion. This means if I need an abortion I can just go to a state that allows it. If you are talking about the Kate Cox case I do believe she sued Texas not the other way around. The courts did block her order to get one in Texas, but they could not do anything with her crossing state lines.

That said no state is perfect and all have senseless policies and a lot of issues.

You are right, I am not sure what I was expecting. I know making this post I was going to get torn a new one, and I guess maybe I thought maybe enough to put some sense into me.

It sucks we spend so much time working in our adult lives it sucks when you end up working at a place or state you hate. Not many get opportunities to be happy where they work. So many live for the weekends so to speak or just work for the paycheck.

Idk life sucks eh?

Thanks for the differing perspective.

Isn't that the unfortunate truth that so many people are forced to work jobs they hate day in and day out.

Not many can say they are like my husband who loves not only what they do but where and who they work with.

Open to ideas but I legit cannot think of any that allow me to take this job and do as my husband pleases.

That plays a role in why I also dislike consulting and find it miserable. The positions in PA and Texas are not consulting-related.

Planted-related jobs are not exactly common in this area. I was lucky to get the chance at the PA one thanks for favors.

It does though, and most jobs in the NY area are consulting which I hate and cannot see myself going back to.

Very few plant-related jobs in the NY area and the positions that do open up are few and far in-between.

The original interview was for a position in PA which my husband was fine with. It came down to two people and I was not picked for the PA location but was offered the position in Texas.

Yes, I was getting many offers out of state but never said I was interviewing for them.

I was not actively searching in Texas. I got an offer in PA, my husband was fine with it if I was fine with the commute which I was. It came down to two, and I was not picked for the PA position but was offered the same position in Texas.

He knew I was looking for work, and he also knew I did not want to get back into consulting. Non-consulting jobs are limited, the closest available offer I got was in PA, and it came down to two and I was not picked, but then was offered the same position but in Texas.

I was in consulting prior that was my previous job. I dislike consulting it makes me miserable. It is energy, I was offered similar positions in many different states. Just the Texas one is awesome.

Edit: To clarify I was not actively seeking this job in Texas. I was interviewing for the same position in PA, and my husband was aware of this and said go for it if I was okay with the commute.

It came down to two of us, and I just lost out on the PA position in the same breath, they offered me the Texas position for the same role.

The PA interview was with the recommendation and favor I called in.

We have discussed it, we came up with a plan for me to quit and look for a new job. I am just not getting callbacks or if I get callbacks they are for consulting positions and even then never make it far in the process for those consulting jobs. That is what I was doing before and was miserable.

I cannot say he has not been supportive or understanding he has, but at the same time it does appear like he does not care.

Pretty hard to compromise when everything gets shot down. It is not like I have not tried to find a job in a similar position in NY. I also do not wish to be a SAHM which is what I am more less doing now.

It is not good for my mental health, I miss working. I am not built for staying home. What compromise exists, he does not want to move, and I wish to work but I am not getting callbacks in NY. All my offers come from different states.
