@bekahj Smoking in the bathrooms was common, but not encouraged. Teachers smoked in the teachers' lounge.
Kids could buy cigarettes for their parents. Restaurants, hospitals, airplanes - smoking was ubiquitous.
@MMcCarthyREV@FOS I'd have thought the NFL had more of a human trafficking and domestic violence problem, but if the league is racist and hateful it's good of them to address it.
@ElmoSeesYou@aniobrien "don't judge" = don't think. "You're so judgmental" Yes, I use judgment. I'll judge you, every person, and every idea to come up with opinions that I can defend. Stop engaging in willful stupidity.
@SaltyGoat17 The reasons ppl give for viciously lashing out at innocent ppl/kids, don't care anymore - drugs, hormones, bad childhood, religious bent, historical wrong, mental health, etc. I don't care. Guilty.
@RepDonBacon@megbasham@sharp_stick_eye We went from so extreme that reasonable seems extreme to some people. Laws must apply equally, not on a case by case basis.
@Owennfa Instead of going insurance poor, do cost/benefit analysis. Auto and home (if you have a mortgage) insurances are obligatory, everything else is voluntary. Maybe increase deductibles or self insure.
Healthcare costs and insurance will be a nightmare until we have tort reform.
