Yay I can't wait for my tax dollars (and probably SS) to buy useless crypto from rich idiots. If only we could put that money into high speed rail, healthcare, school lunches, ... Nah that stuff is clearly less important.

I understand what you mean. The horror stories made us very wary, and we asked a lot of questions before feeling confident that we were talking about an entirely different experience.

I'm on the fence here, but I think this might be an oversimplification. One of their key challenges was inability to communicate, and it was grossly affecting their happiness. Young children should never be that sad and depressed. Parents have to infer a lot of information, and this increases by several orders of magnitude with ASD children.

We're obviously pro-autism, as pretending someone's brain chemistry is not real benefits no one. ABA has helped overcome mole hills before they become mountains.

We kept hearing this as well, but our personal experience has been the opposite. I think ABA therapy has changed dramatically over the years and shouldn't be generalized as such. ABA seeks to understand behavior and includes that which is unseen. Specific therapists have certainly been problematic over the years though.

I read over Biden's statement, and it makes sense to me. Hunter was singled out for political purposes. It would seem weird if Biden didn't issue the pardon.

Yep. They're coming back in a big fuckin' way.

This doesn't make any sense in the context of the article. And we're all deeply disappointed in the white people too.

I sure wish my tax dollars could help people instead.

“We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – there is no place for hate in a democracy.

Trump is getting rid of that democracy problem

Can't blame them - I would try to get out of SC too

We were so close to electing a president that can speak in complete sentences!

 

Vice President Kamala Harris will propose a tax deduction of up to $50,000 for new small businesses on Wednesday, a tenfold increase over existing relief and her latest economic policy aimed at winning over middle-class Americans after jumping into the presidential race over a month ago.

 

Harris pledged “to be a president for all Americans” in a speech highlighting the former president’s legal woes and dismantling of abortion rights.
