In other news, every person who has died engaged in the practice of 'breathing'; leading us to conclude that we need to start a campaign against this deadly habit.
What the article fails to mention is that the obstacles to "housing for the homeless" are not just government red tape. The real obstacle is everybody else. "Affordable Housing" brings out the mean in ordinary people who don't want "those sort of people" to "change the character of the neighborhood". And what they really mean by that is they want to safeguard their property values. With badly artificially inflated housing costs all across the country (and California in particular), few who already own a house want to jeopardize that tidy nest egg by allowing low income housing in their area to depress property values.
First this is posted on Miss Celania, then it's tweeted around the twittersphere a bit, where someone removes the "it's a joke" text and replaces it with text describing this as an actual event. It's claimed that this was done as an artistic statement on "neo-fascism and social isolationism in the military-industrial complex". The modified picture and text hits reddit and goes viral. Someone (anonymously) comes forward with an in-person description of the event and it gets picked up by secondary and finally by primary new sources. A congressional panel is appointed to investigate while all the armed services are required to undergo 'sensitivity to kittens' training. Later a news correspondent at CNN calculates that Kitten-Gate has cost modest sum of $14,000,000,000,000 to the American taxpayer.
To answer "Another Tim", the problem with unions is that they won. Health insurance, 40 hour weeks, overtime, workplace safety, labor laws, the works. If it's not an actual law, it's ingrained in our culture what work should look like.
And, that's the problem. What do you offer your members after you've won every battle for reasonable accommodations from management? You go for the unreasonable ones ...
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this has nothing to do with the bus and everything to do with traffic. He should try this again at 3:00am when there's no traffic. I think the results *might* be a wee bit different.
Traffic being what it is in NY, I do have to agree that you're probably better off walking if you have decent shoes on!
When my eldest son was very young, almost all the males in our family wore beards and had for years. When I went to shave mine off, I had him in the bathroom with me so he could see the process and not be frightened or scared if he suddenly saw his Dad looking very different. The process went smoothly and he watched in rapt fascination. When it was all over, I turned to the little guy and asked him "What do you think?" He looked at my beardless face, thought for just a moment and then said: "Oh!! You are a Mommy!"
Make mine the "out of my mind, back in 5 minutes". :-)
What's really amusing about this is the "discovery" that the primary skill set for managing people is (surprise!) people skills!! Whoa! Coulda knocked me down with a feather!
If you read the article, you'll notice that they do NOT mention the actual rate of infection. I.e. for how many bed-sleepers and mouth-lickers, what percentage actually catches something.
When we wrote and asked, they were pushed into admitting that they really didn't know.
We have so many "Canada" geese because they're protected. In many places it's not even legal to chase them away. In some places people are actually hired to play with their dogs to act as a 'natural' goose deterrent.
Higher pitched calls carry farther in the brush than lower calls, so animals and birds that live in shrubby habitat (and in the treetops) have higher calls to penetrate the all the leaves.
While, in general, lower calls are associated with larger animals, lower calls would be completely lost in dense undergrowth.
