There is no benefit, and the risks are very high, especially for children. Also, never trust a chiropractor about anything. They are quacks who routinely harm and even kill people by pretending to be medical professionals.

It's bad. It's really, really bad. People are getting high on meth and then injecting other people with their blood to "share" the high (it's called "bluetoothing"). Clean needles are hard to come by. Meth isn't. The population largely doesn't know about antiretrovirals.

I asked him how much it had cost him to fill up. $160. He looked like he worked outside, but all these office worker types who "needed" a truck to drive to the office are getting rude awakenings.

We are required to take each exam twice, and the grades are averaged. I got a 99 on the first Mental Health/Psychiatric Nursing exam. Going in for the second round today.

Do you have any idea how incredibly dangerous that journey is? The strength of character you'd need? A man willing to walk from Ecuador to the US is not going to be deterred.

There is no mechanism to kick him out or recall him, which is a structural deficiency. No one can *make* him do *anything*.

Guys like Michael Savage and Pat Buchanan have been calling for this since the 90s. This is just what American conservatism is at is fundamental level.

I am convinced that absolutely nothing of consequence ever happens there or will happen. It's on the same tier as LinkedIn.
