I know a guy who can’t get his P.eng despite 30 years experience because they want him to take an English course because he is an immigrant. He is English!
How old is the person in question? My daughters middle school teacher is in their first year and ghosted 4 emails from me, which I know they received since I went to an event and spoke with them in person. That was a first.
He is making $300,000/year as VP of an engineering firm with about 500 engineers working for him. He doesn’t need the certification. He is a big enough deal that he has raised the issue at the international level now too.
His wife was forced to take a $19,000 one year English course to get her teaching certificate having taught in England for 20 years already.
It’s just pure racism and protectionism. They can afford to do it but many people can’t. It has to stop.
She may also be developing cataracts, since that was one of the noticeable signs for me. Ask her if the oncoming headlights look like starbursts or have halos.
Well as long as it’s just dress up Paul Stanley is fine with it.
I knew Paul Stanley’s sister, our kids were friends. Paul’s niece was a super progressive gender-bending teen who tacked hard into TERFism at around age 16. So it runs in the family I guess.
On Thanksgiving five years ago, my microwave conked out. Ran out that night to buy a new one because we were using it to heat some things up for Thanksgiving dinner (a couple pre-made sides). That one just stopped working tonight, just a couple weeks before Thanksgiving.
Shopping online right now, I’m annoyed that most models open with a push button. I like recessed handles. It looks like I could buy the same one I have for a reasonable price. Hmmmm.
Has the freeway closure in Los Angeles made national news? I feel like when Carmageddon (closing of the 405 for a weekend) happened it was something that people talked about, and this is worse - the 10 is shut down near downtown because there was a huge fire underneath it. They don’t know when it can reopen. Rush hour traffic is going to be historic.
