    What caught your attention in the world today?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Must be referring to fraudsters like Rick Scott. We have a new scam here targeting Native homeless. They pick up Natives here, promising rehab, housing - all kinds of support. They are transported...

    I can't answer your question. I stopped following the public debate quite some time ago. Too much bullying going on and I had my own work to do. I do remember the days when the "good guy with a...

    Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    heron replied to chare's topic in Nursing News

    A few years back, complaints about welfare queens with expensive accessories were all over AN. The outrage was spectacular. I observed at the time that those blatant cheaters were simply imitating...

    And my whole point is that maybe the ideas of those who get stuck with the dirty work might be worth listening to. (And note that listening to =/= catering to.) Dismissing those concerns because...

    All that being said, LEOs are also the people we fully expect to get between us and the bad guys. All I'm saying is that they might have insights into what makes their job more or less do-able....

    Passing a law never solved a social problem. Does anyone have any ideas about how it gets enforced? The officers who would be expected to enforce safer gun laws might have useful insights into this....

    This is reminding me of the old argument over video games. I believe that media consumption was probably a factor, but not a defining one. Contributing factors could well have included...

    They don't care. Once a worker's needs outgrow the profit derived from cheap labor, they'd just as soon we die and get off the

    What is written/said is pretty clear-cut. What is implied is a matter of opinion on which we can agree to disagree. Carry on

    Context is key - if I'm going to imply that conservative justices are uniquely corrupt, then omitting a similar examination of non-conservatives is less than honest. We don't know what we don't know...

    This from the folks who whine that "people just don't want to work anymore". Whatever happened to "if you can't afford it, you can't have it"? (This was the war cry back in 2008 when the...

    The far-left has been talking about dominionism for years, now. Looks like they got this one right. I wonder how they justify subverting what they believe is humanity's god-given free will. More...

    So did Bill O'Reilly. May Carlson follow him into obscurity. Or maybe he'll try to pull a Kari Lake. Someone should tell him that reality outside the bubble probably won't meet his

    As TMB said, it's a matter of perspective. Gerrymander the issue all you want - and labeling those with lower credit scores as "irresponsible" is a dead give-away - I have no problem with the idea...

    Thanks, I did look at that article and feel I understand the issue a bit better. Had you lead with this link instead of a Fox dog whistle, I probably would never even have posted on it, since I don't...
