'Full time/part time' hiring dichotomy is a socialist structure. The idea is the full timer deserves health insurance, pension, other benefits because he needs them, while the part timer doesn't deserve them because he doesn't need them. Yet the inequality gets justified according to free market capitalism morality, i.e. he full timer has outcompeted the part timer for the more desirable employment.

Uh... that doesn't sound very socialist. Sounds rather capitalistic, in fact.

Both.  My school purports to believe we don't need health insurance because we already have it. But I don't believe them. What they believe is you can get people to work without offering benefits. But certain people need benefits, so they must get them.

this is 'stuff you want to tell people.' 'arguments' is in room 12. down the hall.

I forgot how good it feels to use hydrocodone for my back pain. Thank God!

Thanks. I've been out of commission for three days. Finally seeing some improvement.

A wonderful thing about Hydrocodone is that when you've taken it, nothing matters. When told the world will end tomorrow, my response would be: AM or PM? If in PM, my response: Great, then I can finish the book I'm reading.

Best wishes.
That's not even wrong!

It was possible to have a congenial, positive conversation with four family members on Zoom.

No blood was spilled as a result of the exercise (and no politics were discussed, to which the non-sanguinary nature of the conversation may be credited).

They even want to know when we can do it again, and could we invite a couple more people.

I said "Sure."

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Thanks. I only took a half a tablet. It was great. I have accomplished nothing today except some pain relief.

Pain relief is exactly what you needed to accomplish today. Nothing else.

I'm not going to start a new thread 'trendy new terms I like' but if I did it would include
