Every recommendation I get, I now respond with “what’s the commitment?”

Have you seen X?

I’ve never heard of X. So…we talkin 2 hours, 6 episodes 5 seasons?

It’s 6 episodes on Hulu

I’m sure it’s wonderful, but I got 13 subscriptions and Hulu ain’t one

I think your are frustrated. And rightfully so

A) it’s exam time. That’s a stressor

B) the money sucks. No two ways about it. (I’ve got 2 kids in college now).

My hope is you can flip your thinking a bit from “I _have_ to take these classes” to “I _get_ to”

Life is long. Enjoy the ride.

The different classes taught me about subject matter, yes, but also taught me about the personalities drawn to these subjects. History geeks think different than drama or accounting geeks. And the botany geeks think differently from the chem and physics.

As a case worker this would be invaluable

You’re sort of getting dogpiled here and o hesitate to add on, but…

Best thing my liberal arts education taught me was empathy; I don’t mean touchy-feely thing. Accounting 101, helped me know how accountants think and operate. Art history, botany, drama, history, English. 1/x

The Pyramid in Memphis (former home of the Grizzlies) is a good start; former sports arena is now a … Bass Pro Shop

Thank you for doing this.

Do you have a sense of what the endgame is?

Is Candace going to run for something or is it more just a platform to sell crap?

Hashes are wider than NFL. Goalposts are same width as NFL (but narrower than typical high school posts)

This would be a HUGE deal if it actually happened. Every media outlet would be shouting “NYPD ARRESTS ICE AGENT”
