Over the past 10 years, We have had cause to drive through, and to, Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada.

I used to work as a low level admin assistant in health care and hated it. It was inefficiently organized, poor communication structure and highly hierarchical.

I can’t imagine that any millennial is even flinching…our entire existence has been one economic crash after the next. I think I would be more surprised if the economy actually grew sustainably.

First, you are carrying it to overcompensate for your insecurities, and second, carrying a firearm will never fill that void. It denies the freedom of everyone around the "armed" person. Why? Because I believe if you ... | no | 627 |
It's never the end of the world if one has marketable skills and know how to sell oneself. As others have pointed out, there's also the "one door closed and another opens" philosophy,which I have always found to be true. So much of corporate life is perspective. As a Gen X'er, work is now purely transactional. I expect... | yes | 5,839 |

Let me see if I can contextualize this. We live in the wealthiest country in the world. The wealthiest country ever.
