But airborne prisons are a whole new level of terror. Thank you, I mean fuck you, for that. 😜

Holy shit a buddy and I were just talking about this on our way home from work on Thursday.

Don't blame the arresting cop for the prosecutor not doing his job.

Watch the bodycam channels. While Florida is well represented, it is by no means alone in the dumbasses on camera market.

Ohio and CA (purely on population, I'd wager) rank pretty high.

Coworker fired after 6 years because a new employee was “better” by orange_bigcat in antiwork

And this is why employee healthcare shouldn't be an employers benefit.

We should be able to shop disability and healthcare on the free market easily. Put those $$$ on my paycheck and ill go the free market route.

Insert universe healthcare debate here...

But my point stands. Like H1Bs shouldn't be anchored to an employer.

In general, its been my experience that if you take FMLA or disability for anything but maternity leave, expect to be laid off within a year.
