If you are inquiring into what time it is the time is for getting ill.
5. Media Fights
I can end this argument right now. Most people hate both bloggers and mainstream journalists. We are all insufferable and will die alone.

4. We Are So Good At Helping Those Less Fortunate
Hey look the psychiatric center had bed bugs… in March… and we find out about this now. They moved the patients out of a community setting and into a hospital setting until their building could be fumigated. When the patients moved back, the bugs were still there.
A snippet from the mother of a patient:
“He had bites all over his arms. And I said why didn’t you tell anyone? And he said I was afraid they’d put us back in the hospital,” Karen said.
This is how we take care of those who need us most.

2. 53 Jobs Lost In The Clarence Schools Deserves A Laurel, And A Hardy Handshake
Nobody likes taxes, but plenty of people like the results of taxes. Roads. Bridges. Schools. Civilization.
The votes in Clarence have resulted in the loss of 53 jobs. Thats fifty three people whose lives have been pretty much ruined for now. 53 families that may have to bail out of Clarence to find work. 53 people who did not want to leave.
We act like taxes are just a nebulous way to steal our money. They pay for things we need. Those things we need usually involve people working. Is there wasteful spending? All the time.
Schools are never wasteful spending. 53 people were helping the kids of Clarence be better people.
Were.
“Schools are never wasteful spending” … ? I don’t mind paying school taxes with the results of well-educated students. It’s a travesty that so much of the money doesn’t ever reach them. There are ways to reign in the cost of education: Address the skyrocketing health care costs, reduce excessive pay rates for school administrators and teachers, and eliminate government pensions. – Excessive health care costs needs to be addressed in a comprehensive, meaningful way. These costs are crippling businesses and employees and taxpayers, too. – While the starting salary of teachers isn’t great, after a period of time, teachers pull in good money to work 9 months a year. These pay raises are not based on merit and it’s almost impossible to fire a poorly performing teacher once they tenure. Don’t get me started on the bloated salaries of principals and superintendents. Many school superintendents get paid more money than the governor! – In an era where few Americans get pensions, government employees can retire after 20 years and start their pension immediately. How nice it would be to retire with full pay and health care at 45! Pensions should be abolished. Government employees should have to pay for their own retirement via the 401K plan. It’s absurd to be paying high taxes so a select group of individuals can have a retirement lifestyle that few of us will ever achieve. It’s really stealing from the students and the rest of the taxpayers.

@TaxedTooMuch
Totally agree with you!!!
I agree with you about school taxes, they are a god thing, but 9% increase is just crazy! Schools could always find different ways to cut spending rather then jobs, but they take what will hurt the most first so people feel bad. I’m sure the superintendent is probably still making over $200,000 a year and probably got a raise.
