You're so skewed, it hurts.

Rural people aren't more careful, they're spread out.  Duh.  One fire = one family with no home
In a city, one fire = several families with no home (as you sort of acknowledge)

You know this, but your bias is too busy taking over.  ANd what he fuck do riots have anything to do with the subject matter?  Enjoy your bubble.  I'm tired of being disappointed by you. 

I can be, and is, both.

I think a former teacher would do well in an HR setting. Organized and used to dealing with a lot of very different people.

I'm pretty sure riots are bad, one can see evidence on TV if one doesn't live through one, or drive through an aftermath.  We had a bit of one here, it mostly was looting.

My inference is that protests start during the day usually and morph into lootings and riots later, some of the rioters are just burning stuff because they can, police are overwhelmed.  They seem to burn the neighborhood bodega and Wendy's thus leaving the place worse for wear.  The protesters have long since gone home, mostly.

The riots around us here didn't reach into close proximity, but one bank up the road had boarded up the windows.  I went down stairs to talk with the "concierge" who convinced me he had it under control, I had offered to sit with him.  This place was built back when the area was sketchy and it's like a fortress in some respects.
In the 90s and early 2000s I would in a part of Cincinnati (Avondale) that was devastated during the riots of the late 60s and huge parts of it were still not rebuilt and there were no large business and a few small businesses.

Somebody once told me that State Farm agents have to have a college degree, in something.  Someone else said that isn't true, but I suspect selling insurance is a pretty placid job.  My neice got an expensive degree in psychology from Emory and her first job was ... selling insurance.  She did that until she became a mom, lately she's going into nursing as they are about out of the house.

I doubt many kids think "I wanna sell insurance when I grow up", but many end up doing just that.  I liked State Farm, had a good agent back in the day, my wife had another company that was pretty good, and when we moved here I ended up with Progressive, which so far is OK.  Everything with them is on line which I like.

I ended up rather burnt out at work and found a total sinecure, paid the same, MUCH less actual work involved.  I was lucky, I guess, though I suspect had I stayed put I would have been bumped up another notch, which is really of no consequence now.


I do not have an accounting degree, but ended up falling into being an accountant and ultimately got my CPA.  Do not like most of the work and grew to hate most of it.  At the end, I found a job that was accounting adjacent that paid very well but didn't tax me and coasted for a few years until I could retire.

Florida is my home state AAU football school - suitable for membership in the B1G.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), America’s federal agency for regulating food safety, has recently taken a decisive step against this controversial soda ingredient called BVO, or brominated vegetable oil.
Good to know they're taking their que from the the rest of the civilized world.Much of this snake oil has been banned for years by legislators who can't be bought

Graham Mertz and Chimre Dike are former Badgers. The latter is making a difference in Gainesburg.

Badge, you can wear a Gators shirt, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna know you're a transplant when you open your mouth. 

Not because of your Chicago accent... Because you have all your teeth.

I don't have that Chicago accent, or any accent. Nobody knows where I'm from unless I tell them.

I know some Gator fans/alum. Very successful people.

I don't know any FSU fans because they all live in Baha Alabama.

I have never met any of the 13 Miami fans.

Also, you're not wearing jorts. 

Only Gator fans wear jorts.
