Peeing in the pool.
Submitted by earthling1 on Tue, 04/25/2017 - 12:01pmJust watched a piece on Good Morning America on urine in public swimming pools.

Repigs Move to Gut Americans With Disabilities Act
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Tue, 04/25/2017 - 10:27amI didn't know about this until I read an essay titled 'They're Coming for the Americans With Disabilities Act' written by a deaf poster on TOP. There are two bills currently going through the Repig controlled house to do this.

It's good to see you. Come on in, leave your shoes in the hallway, we've got fire on the stove preparing lunch for later.

It infects both parties, but it has been exposed for the rest of the world to see just how deeply embedded this philosophy is within the Democratic party. Meritocracy forms the bedrock of neoliberalism.
