Bwah!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

She is 2-3 years OLDER than me, pushing 40. She was telling the story with bravado. a "Ha, look what I did". She also told a story when she did financial audits for the mega apartment complex I live in. Apparently they had the affluent neighboring communities borders extended to enclose the new development, so that the "median income level" of the area was high, and when a new resident met some federal guideline for housing assistance, would do the needed paperwork to collect that money from the gov't, but not lower the rent any because the tenant didn't know they qualified. She says it's perfectly legal. nothing on the books says it's wrong. I said, ya, but it's immoral, and someone should let that be known, so that loop hole can be closed. She said, why? Only folks who know about it are the company and their auditors. If it's legal, so be it. She also is opposed to a lot of the social stuff the gov't pays for, so, HELLO, blow the whistle and you can save the gov't some money!!
That's a major ethical red flag to me.
Sure, she may be a human calculator, but it sounds like her actual thinking is shallow, and she's barely made of human parts. Hell, I wouldn't even game with her, for fear of wanting to PUNCH HER IN THE FACE REAL HARD.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I countered, yes, but you are also adding folks who are in good health, and she pashawed it.
You're right, actually. A significant portion of the currently uninsured are young, healthy people who don't think they need health insurance.
Ya, all our volunteers. Um. How to say. Cougar material.
It used to be that volunteers were maybe 70 percent retirees and the rest younger people who thought of it as free plays and a reason to get out of the house. I'll admit that at the Alliance Theater in the last few years I've felt I should be helping some of the ushers down the aisle. Your new mission: Suggest a young professionals' theater group.

As long as we're on the subject, I have to recommend an ASTONISHINGLY good podcast called My History Can Beat Up Your Politics, which offers refreshingly apolitical historical analysis of current issues. (The most recent one being healthcare, which is what reminded me of it.) Highly recommend to anyone interested in that sort of thing.
