This. I haven't pulled the trigger on solar because I don't know which company to trust and I am not confident any of them will be around to repair or upgrade the equipment in a few years.

Hopefully, in the next few minutes
My husband was diagnosed at age 45, but he had two major symptoms for YEARS before the diagnosis: 1. persistent constipation requiring laxative and enemas, 2. chronic anemia. He used to take iron supplements just so he could donate blood, but never told the doctor. Later, the doctor told us that when she sees anemia in a man, the first thing she thinks is colon cancer.
Renaissance Man sounds better
Except when the next word starts with a vowel. Then they add extraneous "r" sounds.
I quit my corporate job after burnout and went through six months of depression. Then I started my own business, contracted back at my old company doing my old job for 4x the pay and it was amazing. No more performance reviews, "quality" meetings, etc. If they wanted to force me to sit in a meeting, I was getting paid by the hour. They couldn't dictate my hours, so when I needed a break, I took one.
Being in control was what saved me. Never work for others if you can be an independent contractor or entrepreneur.
I'm praying for a convenient lightning bolt, or the human equivalent, to take him out. Honestly, a massive heart attack would do.
This. I don't mind ignorance. The ignorant can always be educated. I mind WILLFUL ignorance. Those who refuse to look at facts or use reason when confronted with something that contradicts their world view. THOSE are the stupid people.
There seems to be a shortage of critical thinking and problem solving skills, that's for sure.
What I see that makes it worse now than in the past is the Internet. It's easy now to find a group that agrees with your delusions and live in an echo chamber where mistaken beliefs are not challenged.
As one who used to share their beliefs, let me explain. Putting aside the folks who cynically use the issue for political purposes, the grassroots pro-lifers simply believe the fetus is a human being (what else would it be?) and thus it has human rights. The mother also has rights. So what do you do if two people's rights collide? You look at the harm inflicted. For the one, it means expense, inconvenience, discomfort, and sometimes life-threatening danger. For the other, it means death.
Pro-lifers do not all draw the line at the timing or circumstances they believe acceptable to allow abortion. But all believe there need to be limits. All believe it's a human rights issue, that an abortion kills an innocent human being.
To them, this issue is our generation's Holocaust. That is why they can't just sit by and let it happen without a fight.
Mail it to them for autopsy just in case
