  7 a merchant might take pride in the fact that he had never taken anything that did not belong to him.

  but what about his business practices?

  Calling employees self employed subcontractors when in fact they were not. Avoids FICA and insurance

  Never expect anyone to solve a problem when their livelihood depends on that problem existing

  imagine you were a leader of a "gender equality" group started as part of the 'metoo' movement?.

  now fast-forward and you're the one trying to discredit victims who have come forward with accusations.

  but not they are accusations against someone you work for.. it's a perfect example of how activists so often end up unwittingly (or quite intentionally) perpetuating the very problem they claim to be against.

  Hoser; true. The downside is they do not give an y thought to the social impact of their solutions. A restless displaced poverty stricken populace is dangerous to the environment.

  First to mind is drug enforcement. Then welfare, EPA, cancer

  wife tells me the latest video mentions the wt has spent $25 million on covid relief.

  the "food pantry" was all local, and is almost non existent.

  the government food was mostly inedible on the rare occasions it came.

  I once met a CO in a porn parlor. Saved by 2 witness rule and he would have to explain.

  Had a bro come by to visit and work on a mutial project. he promptly started passing a bottle around the circle (I dont share drool). Mentioned it to a elder and found out there akready was a drunkenness problem. So the guy moved 60 miles and and became an elder.

  Fedup

  That wasnt one, but a bunch I knew through the years. The old boys club attracts certain ones and they exclude some who should have been appointed

  usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

  Question. Hired? HCLA elders are volunteers, not employees. And they are supposedly for encouragement but the real reason is enforcement.

  References in science vs references in film

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i have a science background but am fairly new to film critics and what they talk about.

  in science, references are used to support statements, introduce some ideas that other scientists may propose, etc.

  they have a purpose.

  Movies ain't real. Even documentary films are somewhat rigged.

  A nod to a famous scene is a compliment. Right off I can think of the sistene chapel, Marilyns dress blowing up. Simpsons has famous artwork showing up in the homes. South park.
