Which is the delusion that the US's traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.

"This'll be fine hardly anybody lives out here"

An acquaintance of mine was cursed with bestanal@uni.edu because his first and middle initials were B.E.

Performing work to the specification of compensation while respecting my free time. Astounding that doing my job is somehow analogous to quitting if I'm not providing even more unpaid benefit to my employer by one or more metrics.

True to the spirit of cognitive behavioral therapy, therapists in my limited experience seem to be able to perform their job rather well while leading relatively unhinged lives.

Odd to me why he was vaguely supportive in his first speech regarding the UAW strikes when he crushed the rail workers without so much as the barest amount of hand wringing.
