Here here, I join you in this endless quest to conserve. Just like my great grandmother freezing half her gallons of milk, just in case the Great Depression were to return.

Sure, cool. Make health insurance cover my IVF then.

Hehe are you referencing the Boondocks episode? I happened to watch that just a few days ago, and it was brilliant.

My company gave a temporary 2% raise to everyone last year due to inflation. This year they said inflation was not up, so they took away the raise. The audacity!

You have no idea that some cultures prefer women barefoot, pregnant, and cleaning their house rather than in the workplace? You have no idea that many cultures are not used to having female bosses over male workers?

I think the answer to that should be obvious, and you are only asking so you can argue and call me racist. So I will not engage.

I work a tech job at a corporate company that isn’t a tech company. 9/10 males have been delightful. They have hired women as head of IT twice in a row now. But there was one coworker who immediately assumed and acted like I knew nothing. He may do that to everyone though to seem smarter and superior… very ambitious guy. I also suspected it may have also been influenced by the non-US culture he grew up in.
