My wife's step father is a MAGA man who thinks covid is greatly exaggerated and all that.

He tested positive for covid on the 1st. Couple of days letter he felt like total poo poo and went to the ER.

They wanted to admit him to the hospital because his oxygen was low, but there were no beds left. So they sent him to a different hospital. They're trying to get his oxygen levels up now.

I wonder if he still thinks it's just the flu.

So what are the odds they were watching whatever Trump tweeted before posting it and he said one of the magic phrases that caused this? Or did they actually have an all hands on deck meeting and decide to do it?

They had a blog post that explained it was because his tweets today were glorifying violence and his supporters were taking them as indication they should continue and attack the inauguration.

Yeah but Murkowski is kind of unique in who she caucuses with.

Alaska just went to ranked choice voting. She's already lost a primary and won as an independent.

She could have done it already and gained a lot, and she didn't. The fact she's saying it now is more credible to me.

She's already made a public statement that if the republicans do not disavow trump she's done with being a republican.

When do Ossoff and Warnock get seated? Murkowski plus those two makes 51.

Pence would have to resign, pretty sure the President can't fire him since he was technically elected to the position, and the Senate would have to reconvene in order to approve this appointment, if the Senate reconvenes they'd probably have to deal with impeachment first and if there's no VP and the president is removed from office Nancy Pelosi would become the first female President.

VP appointment goes through both house and senate.

This stay lifts a preliminary injunction that was issued in June against the FDA. The FDA relaxed all guidelines for every drug except one half of the drugs needed for medical abortion. You can get literally any other drug delivered except mifepristone. The preliminary injunction lifted that requirement and allowed mifepristone to be delivered by mail. The SCOTUS in a 6-3 vote lifted the preliminary injunction.

I'm attempting to go back to school for five years because I've made less than $50k in 2.5 years in the practice of law. Last year I made $20k. I already went back to school and got a masters, but I can't find a job in the finance world because I'm overqualified by education and underqualified by experience. I've been told I'm a shoe in for the phd in finance program, so maybe I can finally get someone to pay me a living wage once I have my fifth degree in 2026.

Beep boop does not compute.

To the best of my knowledge all the PhD candidates I know make effectively less than minimum wage when their salary is broken down by hours worked.

Submitting yourself to five more years of gross under compensation for the unlikely possibility of getting a decent finance job seems real dumb.

E: obviously follow your dreams or whatever but from an outside perspective your plan seems bad

Finance is one of those things where a PhD actually matters. Finance profs get paid more than most anyone not teaching at a med school. Also in the private world they do the type of work I’m interested in doing.

The constant antagonistic struggle rooted in misery that is the practice of law is never going to make me happy. I enjoy the stuff I’ve done in the finance world, though.

It wasn’t the series finale, but I will always love that episode of Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23 that revolves around a character trying to keep her roommate drunk so the roommate will continue to unknowingly bang the intellectually delayed son of a guy who said character is trying to get a job with. Pretty sure it’s a big part of what got the show cancelled, so that kinda counts?

They pissed people off and season two got aired out of order so many of the episodes don’t seem to make sense continuity wise.

If was James Vanderbeek’s best performance in my opinion.

I mean, finance phds get paid at least which is something my masters and JD do not give me, so that's good. What sucks is another five years of not getting paid between now and then. However, I'll still make more as a PhD student than I'm making right now as a practicing attorney.

I make $22.50/hour right now on a 1099 contract working for an old attorney that is retiring helping him close up shop. I do not work full time. I made $20k last year in taxable income and $23k the year before. The PhD stipend I'll receive is higher than that for just the fall and spring semesters plus I have some GI bill left over that will kick in an extra $1400/month tax free for 3-4 semesters.

I have spent the better part of three years trying to get a higher paying job and have been unable to land anything worth a gently caress. I'm not a bad lawyer, but I did not spend law school "networking" and cannot lean on anyone I know for a job. I had a federal job lined up to work for the SBA where I would have cleared around $1900/week get yanked away from me because I got assaulted with a deadly at a BLM protest and they determined that I had committed "criminal or dishonest conduct" by being present and saving a guy from getting beat up in a fight he started.
