Health insurance is just a crutch and stifles initiative and keeps people from going out and finding good health.
edit: They could go out and be janitors--but that would take jobs away from the children.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My mother used to date a janitor. So the whole time that nimrod's clip is playing, I'm thinking "At least say "custodian" or "facilities" asshole."(and that job is way too serious for urchins with brooms...honestly, till I met B. I had *no idea* how much they are put in charge of,which made me all "Bad lefty...no union-made biscuit," but the good ones make it all invisible and shit. The heating, cooling, and lighting of public schools is in their hands, as are environmental retrofits...it's a real job, not just a track for obnoxious poor students(although that's probably how B. got started.) my brother was such a dick yesterday...he literally flounced off. Though Mom said B. was immature, he was not jailbait. Am I a bad person for wishing Karl Rove's route to Hopkins had been a bit more...scenic? "Mic check, motherfucker!"

I saw something by someone who'd actually worked as a janitor/ custodian at a school who pointed out that the kids would be cleaning up all kinds of bodily fluids AND using heavy-duty industrial cleaners and equipment.

It's major, yeah. But Newt never bothers to learn anything about the little people(or anything else, either.) "Republican intellectual" "Jumbo shrimp." IJS.

The status is NOT quo.
My uncle was a facilities person at a local New Hampshire school, and the stories he tells are beyond horrific.

exactly. Also, Newt looks like shit for his (claimed0 age. My mom is supposedly three years behind him--they look like different life forms.

Perhaps it's a reverse of Dorian Gray - somewhere there's a portrait of Newt that remains young and as good looking as he ever was.
eta: well, a portrait isn't supposed to change, is it? oh well ....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Like all portraits of, like, everyone? :)
