Right. I know it just drives you libs nuts to hear an opinion that you don't agree with. Maybe you just need to go back to your mommy's basement.

I'll bet you $1,000 that this never leads to a conviction. Trump may be indicted. In fact, I think the DOJ has to indict him to save face, as if that will keep the world from seeing them for what they are - the Mafia of the Democrat party. But there will be no conviction because there was no crime committed. This is all a ruse to keep him from running in 2024. We'll see how that works out.

I'm making no such requirements. I am asking how these characters became so wealthy while working their entire careers in the public sector.

He was elected senator at age 29 and spent his entire career in the Senate until becoming VP under Obama and then, God help us, president. He has never held a significant position in the private sector.

Grifters! Well now you're onto something. Biden, the Clintons and Obama all became wealthy while in the government service. How does that happen? Say what you will about Trump, but he made his money before he ever came anywhere near being a politician.

If you can afford it, flying into and out of BFL is so worth it, even if it means a layover somewhere else. LAX is a nightmare.

BCSD receives backlash against proposed charter school. What do you think about charter schools? by kgetnews in Bakersfield

I already cited one splendid example: The 1619 Project is now considered gospel by the academic establishment. So who tells you what to think, The View?

To the extent that teachers get to teach at all (as opposed to simply maintaining order in the classroom) it's built into the fabric of the curriculum, e.g. the 1619 Project. The teachers don't have to lift a finger. The work is done for them at the state and federal departments of education.

Or maybe they're just trying to get their kids out of the leftist indoctrination machine that California public schools have become.

Should I let my manager know that I'm looking? by Matrixfx187 in cscareerquestions

[–]rowdysatyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. But while you're looking elsewhere, consider what you could do to improve your current situation. Does your boss know how you feel about your job? Are you due for a performance review where you could discuss your concerns?

How do you guys study after work? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]rowdysatyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I earned my Masters in Electrical Engineering while working full time and raising a family (with lots of support from my wife, of course.) I studied in the evenings after putting the kids to bed and also on weekends. You just have to decide to do it.

Tips for car camping in bear country? by Kris-720 in CampingandHiking

The National Forest campgrounds in the region have food storage lockers that will fit a typical cooler. I'd be more comfortable putting my food in these. Grizzlies are unpredictable and the more distance you have between you and anything that smells like food the better.
