Y'all want some chicken horror look up "vent pecking" some time. Apparently captive chickens will frequently get it in their heads that it's a good idea to peck at the other chickens' throbbing cloacas right after an egg is laid, to the point where they sometimes peck their guts out through their rear end and then cannibalize them. Weirdly free-range chickens do it more than caged ones, so enjoy that mental image the next time you buy free-range grass-fed eggs at whole foods, yuppies

Pecking order is normal but today's chickens are loving crazy so they do it more in tighter areas.

I slaughtered a bunch of my sister's friend's bird because they built too small of a pen for them. It was on the 4th of July.

Clinton News Network

EDIT:

Joke should be explained for the partisan-

Clinton is Neo-Liberal / Conservative / Anti-Labor (all members of their family) so spinning the lack of proper sick time as a good thing is pretty much what Neo-Liberals / Conservatives do.

a lot of pages ago, someone said something good about Obamacare.

Obamacare sucks and has driven up prices because the invisible hand of the market is actually a gout goitered hand of some rich gently caress.

Obamacare is what right of center puts forth to not seem offensive.

20 years ago, “good bennies” or more like “ok benefits” were 100% health insurance coverage from your employer. Now it’s some poo poo tier company self insure.

What changed? The gov’t let the free market dictate what should have been a benefit of being a human.

you uh seem to have no idea what health benefits were like 20 years ago.

they were also poo poo

no copays
no deductibles
no monthly cost

that was for an low tier computer toucher

I’m not saying the market is good or something, but it’s observably worse than it was within a given field.

Yeah, my benefits were fine at the beginning but then went down over time. By the time I left the company, it was at a point where the company was self insuring and to have a baby cost 4000$ out of pocket.

They were telling people not to go to the doctor, lol.

I donät know anything about Obamacare, but do you think the prices wouldn't've gone up anyway?

We don’t know tbh.

I do know that existing in an area where a service is required (say car insurance) they have you by the short and curlies. The companies who sell it know you have to have it so they hike it. It’s a protected weird thing. You don’t have a choice so there’s no real top to what they can charge.

Obamacare sucks as it’s the typical neoliberal half assed poo poo that gives power to beneficent billionaires since technocrats know everything.

Single payer or bust. Obamacare appeased liberals (see centrists) to the point they could be convinced to declaw any idea of M4A. Insurance companies are parasites, hth.

I work in academia and middle management and the money is pretty good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, I dunno but like all run ins with HR both corporate and academic have been pretty good and even handed. The corporate one I had more experience with helped me advocate for my team and work through stuff.

Spineless middle management is the issue more than anything else in weird workplace boot licking. I see it frequently.

Current state of “good insurance” enjoyer: Lack of doctors. Long waits just to make appointments. Even longer waits to the actual appointments. Time spent with the medical professional dropped to about 10 minutes for a physical.

Thank white capitalist jesus we don’t have socialism or we would have a lack of doctors. Long waits just to make appointments. Even longer waits to the actual appointments. Time spent with the medical professional dropped to about 10 minutes for a physical.

Trying to figure out the physics of what happens when you crash with a seatbelt tie. Presumably your neck snaps a lot?

Also, if you want to find someone who actually likes the morning commute, find a person with kids and a spouse who needs alone time. I honestly kind of get it, and I'm pretty sure there are no other options than hour long commutes
I actually negotiated Tuesday afternoon off specifically for this

people who find a driving commute in traffic a relaxing 1 hour are psychopaths.
