Thanks for sharing that info. I do think we're talking past each other though. Perhaps I should have said "practical" instead of "possible". Certainly just about anything is possib…

The Federal government manages 57% of California forests. Another 33% are under private control. Very little of the parts of CA that are ablaze are managed by the State. Forest man…

60% of land in CA is under Federal management. Another 2/3 is private land. There is more bureaucracy around things like air quality regulations, but in general it's not an "aesthe…

I disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion. He's not sharing a personal experience, but rather replying to someone else's with unsolicited advice on how to better go about get…

Yikes. This comes across as really arrogant, and speaks to the author's point. What led you to believe anyone needed or wanted your empathy or approval? Just because someone shares…

And as might be expected on a forum full of intelligent nitpickers, people can parse and dissect the structure of this sentence to fit any narrative they'd like. For example, it sa…

Not really the company's fault here. Policies like this exist because candidates have and will sue the shit out of you for any flimsy accusation of discrimination they can cobble t…
