I hate it when my tax dollars are wasted on sparkling beverages.

Makes sense. I graduated the same year and I now that I think about it, it may have been still allowed in Houston too. I wasn’t a smoker so my memory on that is a bit fuzzy. I remember more the places people weren’t supposed to smoke but did anyways (wood shop and the theater room, both had doors to outside).

My school was a collection of buildings, so you were outside between nearly every class.

That patio was right up front and center, convenient for everyone to get a fix between class or at lunch.

I graduated in 94. We had a special commencement speaker. I know who it was but I won’t spoil people searching for it.

Bunch of damn old people on here.

Mods, can we get an AARP board?

Is everyone staying consistent on caring about how our tax dollars are used? I heard about 1.76 billion being put in a slush fund. That’s going buy a lot of coke

Previously, those caring for a child under 18 were exempt from work requirements. But, since December, Texas parents and household members of a dependent child age 14 or older now must work 30 hours a week or prove they are exempt. Veterans, people 24 and younger who recently aged out of foster care, and unhoused people also must now meet those work requirements.

You may have, others may not when they don’t have or can’t get a great paying job, have less resources to pay for a sitter, don’t own a car, etc.

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be work requirements, or even that these are necessarily overburdensome (it likely varies depending on the individual situation) but to look at it as “doable” from your own financial persepective doesn’t quite mean it is “doable” in general.

Now, for the able bodied adults without dependents - then yes I think they absolutely should be able to meet the work requirements.

Right, they have no stove, lol

So did high schools

Good you can pay for them to lay on the sofa all day.

That’s hilarious! Maybe they even have a dirt floor!

Hopefully all of them have an alcholic father and a mother on meth to complete the hateful stereotype.

Good one champ!

In classrooms?

See the difference is an airplane is a closed space, so even having a “smoking” section, the other people on the plane are inhaling it

There’s no such thing as “non-smoking” if there is a smoking section, especially in a tube.
