Reply to comment by eata22 in Alameda passes delivery fee cap even as Uber threatens exit by Xanthn

I don't know what to tell you, my commentary has nothing to do with your budget, only your choice to spend your income on a convenient luxury, and then complain on the internet as if it's your only option.

I used only a mini fridge for almost 3 years. In my view, having food delivered is a luxury. If you stop ordering all your food out for one month, you could afford at least another mini fridge, maybe even a used half-size. You really only need to keep certain ingredients refrigerated; recipes can be optimized for dry goods that don't need refrigeration and fresh vegetables that will keep for several days or more.

So from your response I can tell you have no idea how little food can actually be stored in one of those. Do you know what happens when there isn’t enough airflow? The entire thing freezes. Yiu can store like 3 days worth of food in it max.

Please please tell me how some dumb fuck on Reddit knows my budget better than I

That's fucking horrendous, but not surprising. I know for a fact that districts get more funding per Sped student, and yeah, many of the admins I worked with also tried to push kids onto IEPs for those extra dollars.

You said the charges got thrown out in court, and I'm glad they did. Did anyone who put you in this situation ever face consequences?

Reply to comment by Guest2200 in Toronto MP Han Dong quits Liberal caucus amid Chinese interference allegations by chemicologist

If it was the conservatives the liberals would’ve been frothing at the mouth and rioting after just one of the many smaller scandals Trudeau has brushed off and they all just ignored and downplayed it like it wasn’t a big deal. Can you imagine how they’d react if pictures of Harper wearing blackface just once, even if it was 40 years ago were found? And they let Trudeau get away with that even when there were pictures from several different times and he even admitted he didn’t know how many more times he did it. Literally anyone else wouldn’t have a career after that.

So, in my school district, the administration were seemingly on the cut when it came to admitting students as special education students, whether they needed it or not. Apparently, a chunk of that funding was lost if any of those students were to transition out of special education for any reason.

I wanted out. My parents wanted me out. The guidance counselor's office were aware of my situation, but couldn't do much. The only folks who had any issue were in the administration, and were either principals or vice principals. I needed their permission to take standard education classes, which would be invariably denied. No reason given. This is in direct violation of IDEA, BTW.

So, I'd go behind their backs and try to talk to counselors regardless. It'd take maybe a day before the pricipal found out, bring me into his office, pull some bullshit allegation about I'd threaten to blow up the gym or shoot up a classroom and use that as the reason to suspend me, and have my changes to my schedule and IEP reverted.

The superintendent was fully aware this was happening and did nothing. I don't have evidence for it, but I suspect he was on the take.

This is why I'm generally against increasing funding for schools. Far too many administrators take far too much for their own personal gain, and teachers, students, and other actually useful staff get very little of that money.
