He sucked 100 dicks and with that knowledge and experience in the end he finally chose hers.

Remember that.

We need an official SI reference banana.

Given the low quality professors my wife has had, they'd change the assignments throughout the course.

Didn't transfer? Did the service provider pull the grades due to non-payment or something of that nature?

It also comes with cost of living growing to insane proportions. Fewer people can afford to live near their preferred school, some portion of which won't ride the bus. More students living further away will tend to increase demand for transportation and the increasing length of the bus ride will worsen the ratio of car to bus riders. Apparently we can't afford housing people near the resources they need to access these days.

With that said, I've seen the insane long line of cars waiting to enter a school and thought how glad I was not being in that line.

Why don't we just give up, Pardner?

It’s almost like they know they’re doing something morally reprehensible.

I appreciate the positive and constructive outlook and for that I value your contribution. Your wife seems like she's being the change we want to see in less-than-stellar HR departments, but I think to consider the benefits of HR from the employee POV just isn't safe unless you're absolutely certain where the priorities lie for your local HR team.

The phrase "cops of the company" is an even more accurate term in the sense that while some cops may actually believe in serving their community, many perhaps most do not, and trusting one is hazardous to your health. A good HR department does care about employees and the company, but how does an employee know that they have one of the good ones? I feel like this is something you don't really know until you lean upon it such as when disagreements occur, and then either the rickety post will hold or you fall flat on your face. Me? I'm not leaning on that rickey post any more than I would willingly speak to a "friendly" neighborhood police officer. Your job isn't a place for trust. It's business. That HR person could be your wife, or they could be the kind to shoot first and ask questions later.

I don't have a problem with my local PD nor do I have any issues with my HR, but I definitely don't want a visit from either.

Very insightful discussion. I agree, it’s much easier said than done. I believe we can do better to reduce our use of plastic, but not all use cases will be so easily replaced.

I can’t help but wonder what an electromagnetic trebuchet would look like.

How hard was that? People lived fine before plastic bags. I want to see the end of all single-use plastics outside of a medical setting.

That headache must be brutal.
