I am so thirsty right now.
J&B question: would a health center actually tell the parent about what courtney wanted? I meant to ask last time, but I forgot.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Sparky Montana, I think.
Coulda been, Boji Franjo, though.
Good names! Far better than Sadie Brown.
It's like you're saying Bruce Wayne isn't porny! I don't know you people anymore!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't understand what is positive about denying workers the right to eat.
You know, it's government red tape that's hamstringing our nation's businesses from becoming more competitive and efficient.
Next thing you know they'll repeal child labor laws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, although I don't know for sure, I figured it was because she was underage.

That's what I figured, but I was trying to figure out if that were true, if they would really do that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
How is a hungry worker productive? Or not grouchy? Or at their best, mentally?
What kind of fucked up shit is that?
My grampa is rolling in his grave right now.

Or, say, *healthy*??? What if you have workers who are diabetic/pregnant/some other illness, who must eat every few hours or else they, y'know, fall into a COMA?

Maybe they'll declare hunger a disability and make lunch a reasonable accomodation.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
J&B: At my university, the health center had signs up at every desk where you might possibly fill out a form or pay anything, saying that everything was confidential, but that, if you didn't want your parents to find out that you were at the health center, don't pay with their credit card and don't use their insurance. I think that, on the show, they said that they called because she was underage, but it seems to make more sense to me that he'd find out because she's on his insurance policy.

Art Crawl!!!
ON J&B: I thought that the fact that she is the president's daughter kind swayed the healthworker's decision -- because didn't she promise confidentiality before she found out who Courtney was ?
