Immaculata, our hope and refuge, pray for us.
They say it in good faith, despite reality. The other thing that's irritating, is the concept of courting anyone just to tick a box. Nuances are not allowed. Copy paste recommendations are the norm. Unfortunately, solitude for many is the norm.
“Get married young” is trendy in right wing discourse, but it's only actionable advice for an established couple that's been postponing marriage unnecessarily
For single people who want to be married and it's not working out, it just lands as a virtue signal
You can't snap your fingers and get a spouse on demand, sadly
Men NEVER marry women based on their potential. They marry based on who they are at that moment in time. I'm not going to address whether or not ladies should marry men based on their potential not for who they are. Someone else will pick up that fight.
Reality check: A lot of women marry men for their potential not for what they are. In fact, you'll see a lot of those comments from men right here on this platform, desperately wanting women to be with them for their potential, not what they are.
The only expectations for your employees are for them to execute their roles, efficiently. They'll be willing to work harder if they have equity in the company but most companies don't offer that. Equity is usually reserved for blood relatives or investors.
Can people act their age? If you don't want negative comments about your looks/the way you dress, have you tried not posting yourself on social media? I don't know, just a thought. People are addicted to attention.
Many countries use prison labor for agricultural & construction work. Slave labor is not the term to use. It's hard labor as part of their prison sentence.
Turns out Taylor Farms uses prison labor also known as SLAVE LABOR to pick its lettuce paying inmates a $1.00 an hour while the Department of Corections gets $4.75 an hour.

As contractors descend on Big Bend, more than 140 river outfitters, local businesses and recreation organizations are urging Texas leaders to stop CBP's plans to cut off access to the Rio Grande and blast new roads through Big Bend National Park.
Signatories include virtually every local river outfitter, Texas Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, American Whitewater, Big Bend Tourism Alliance, Patagonia, Outdoor Alliance and more than 130 others.
CBP's current plans show them cutting off river access with steel "vehicle barriers" at almost every put-in and takeout along the Rio Grande in the region.
The letter warns that CBP's current plans "would end commercial and recreational river use in Big Bend National Park and along the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, crippling local businesses and the regional tourism economy for no demonstrable security benefit."
Nobody wants this destruction to unfold. Texas leadership must step up to save their state's rural economies, natural heritage and most beloved national park.
Howdy, Fort Worth! 👋🤠
Today, we celebrated the grand opening of @tamufortworth, marking an exciting new chapter for engineering education, research and innovation in North Texas.
We're excited to welcome the next generation of Aggie engineers to Fort Worth and can't wait to see the impact they'll make in DFW and beyond! 👍

A crown jewel of our National Park system is being desecrated by people who have never been and don’t care what it means to Texans.
Texans don’t want this.
HAPPENING NOW: Bulldozers are approaching Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park, where DHS has waived every environmental protection and public transparency law for the project. It's all moving forward in in total secrecy, against wishes from all 5 regional sheriffs.
Life is short. Financial cycles are even shorter. Development requires adapting to where liquidity exists. That means prioritizing mixed-use/commercial while some residential plans wait. From 2,000 trees to appliances & materials, every investment needs a purpose.

The ROAD Act has many good recommendations, but they rely on municipal authorities to cooperate & implement them. The only hard policy was the institutional investor ban. That decision carries financial consequences so significant, it's like an earthquake splitting a fault line.
The real test comes during the next downturn. Liquidity matters most when defaults rise. Policies that restrict capital recovery can amplify stress in the housing finance system instead of cushioning it. Foresight matters.
Over time, lenders may respond by tightening underwriting, reducing credit availability, or pricing more risk into mortgages. Those effects are easy to ignore when the economy is strong.
