If I put myself in those circumstances, I’m probably still taking the job
Yeah, probably need to know where you’re at now. If you’re both at Mich St. stay and if you’re both at Miss St. take the jobs.

My sister’s child is non-binary and entering their sophomore year of high school in Durham, NC. We have had a ~60% serious conversation about them coming to live with me in CA if things continue on this path.

the new “parents rights” law in idaho basically clears the way for parents/relatives/church leaders to get away with child rape by making it illegal for kids to get rape kits without permission from their parents. classic republican family values.
You are good people LFS

Party of small government
In his 17-month stint as UF president, Ben Sasse more than tripled his office’s spending, directing millions in university funds into secretive consulting contracts and high-paying positions for his GOP allies.
Sasse ballooned spending under the president’s office to $17.3 million in his first year in office — up from $5.6 million in former UF President Kent Fuchs’ last year, according to publicly available administrative budget data.
Party of meritocracy and hard work
Under Sasse’s administration, two of his former Senate staffers — Raymond Sass and James Wegmann — were among the highest-ranking and highest-paid officials at UF. Both worked remotely from the D.C. area, roughly 800 miles from UF’s main campus in Gainesville.
Sass, Sasse’s former Senate chief of staff, was UF’s vice president for innovation and partnerships — a position which didn’t exist under previous administrations. His starting salary at UF was $396,000, more than double the $181,677 he made on Capitol Hill.Wegmann, Sasse’s former Senate communications director, is UF’s vice president of communications, a position he works remotely from his $725,000 home in Washington, D.C.
Salaried at $432,000, Wegmann replaced Steve Orlando, who made $270,000 a year in the position and had nearly 30 years of experience in media relations at UF before he was demoted to be Wegmann’s deputy.
Sasse appointed his former Senate press secretary, Taylor Sliva, as UF’s Assistant Vice President of Presidential Communications and Public Affairs, a new position. Sliva’s $232,000 salary made him the second-highest-paid employee in UF’s Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing, trailing only Wegmann.
I guess it’s more public spirited than getting a job as a soulless corporate shill but would a soulless corp pay that much on the merits, if not for buying access? In any case, seems like a lot of money for what I imagine is just business as usual in the coms department.
