The reason I think it should be free for everyone is to incentivize choosing public transit over personal vehicles and would gladly pay more taxes to make public transportation free. You have no choice but to pay the tax, so you might as well use the system you've already paid to improve.
Public transportation should be free for everyone on top of that. We need to do everything possible to discourage driving in favour of public transport for the sake of the environment and our future selves, plus the bus driver would no longer be able to turn away poor people on hot days.
Probably, but there's no way she would have told me that. She was a hypocrite of the highest order and liked to shame me for smoking but then smoked behind our backs.
Holy crap that is amazing! Headphones/earbuds are a big issue for me, partly since I am allowed to listen at work, but I am not allowed to have over ears, but especially since most ear buds cause great pain and inevitable eat infections for me. Thank you so much!
Update: I ordered a pair to try. Twisted my rubber arm.
Can you provide some links so we have a starting point? Simply googling Ethical Shampoo is going to bring about a disheartening and probably half fake onslaught of results that would be nearly impossible to sort through.
I have small ear canals and can't use most ear plugs and ear buds because they just push out of my ears, and if they do manage to stay I can feel it constantly pushing outwards on my ear and it starts to hurt pretty quickly. No one else in my house has this problem. I would absolutely say ear canals are different enough that there cannot be a catch-all solution so they just have to go with average range. I'm sure if I got custom plugs it would be different, but anything off the shelf is not going to work for my baby ears.
My boss made it very clear that while the pictures in our dress code handbook are of the general gender stereotypes, doesn't mean we are holding people to that. As long as you are business casual it doesn't matter how you represent.
I lived there for over 30 years and got out the second I had the opportunity. If you are even remotely queer or liberal in rural Alberta life is shit and it was unsustainably expensive to live in urban areas.
It's meat wiring. I don't know what it is actually called, but that's what I call it.
I used to be a meat eater- nary a meal was made that didn't have meat as a main and the rest of the meal built around that.I would say that I didn't understand vegetarians- we need meat, we evolved to eat it. Then meat started getting expensive. Then meat started losing its quality. Then meat (especially chicken) started having a rubber texture to it and was like $15 a pound and I had enough and went pescatarian/vegetarian. It was hard at first, but we really couldn't afford meat anymore so we made it work.
After a while I noticed that the smell of meat is absolutely nauseating. The idea of meat is sickening and I am dropping eating fish now in favour of full on vegetarianism.
As I went through a meat "detox" phase ( I know it's not a detox but I don't know how else to put it) my brain changed how it felt about meat while I wasn't even paying attention. I was focusing on finding new, enjoyable veggie meals and my brain was working away purging all the want for meats.
Either they've convinced themselves they can't eat less/no meat, or they simply do not care to.
I wouldn't encourage fare dodging at this point in North America because that would be the destruction of the transit systems.
