Keep in mind the following: source

About 158 million Americans, or 61% of U.S. adults, own stock.

The top 1% holds 54% of stocks, worth $19.16 trillion.

The bottom 50% of U.S. adults holds only 0.6% of stocks, worth $21 billion.

White Americans own 89% of stocks, worth $31.87 trillion.

U.S. families held a median value of $52,000 in stocks as of 2022, far below the peak of more than $58,592 in 2001. This figure includes directly held stocks and mutual funds.

Hire more female guards.

There is no way there wouldn't be enough unemployed or underpaid women who wouldn't work in a women's jail as a guard, if for no other reason than the pay is far better than working at some burger joint for peanuts.

Should have sent his grandfather back to Germany.

There should be exactly zero male guards in a women's jail.

If they're actually removing kids in 4% of cases, there's gotta be significant abuse in at least 12% of cases, likely more.

Do you have data to back this?

Yup. They're supposed to be there for the welfare of the child AND family, not to act as judge and jury with zero compassion.

But if that's what their leadership (state and local) is teaching/telling them to do, it's time for a new government.

CFS workers shouldn't be looking for drugs. That's the cop's job.

There is a proven need for the service. But it needs to be better regulated, NOT privatized and states should have rules limiting worker's authority.

Ugh. I can't imagine what it's like raising kids now. I'm an angry person under the best of circumstances let alone someone threatening my child.

I'm glad you were able to find a solution, although it sucks your daughter had to be the one that changed.

Canada is better in some ways ... although we have a lot of room for improvement. Provincial gov'ts set their own standards and rules, but in the province where I was a CFS investigator we had access to back files on individuals that would be checked as soon as a call came in.

We also weren't allowed to check cupboards because simply being poor is NOT a valid reason to take kids away.

Yes, once (or twice, depending on your perspective).

But it hasn't happened since because the world knows what it looks like and how difficult it would be to come back from that (partially anyway, as areas of Japan still have issues with birth defects, etc).

As a woman, it's easy to see why.

Seeing as she's had 3 kids already, it'd be silly to think she would have 2 vaginas when she was only recently diagnosed as having 2 uterus.

Toronto police said the three accused used forged documents to gain access to the invitation-only, televised award ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel.

All three, who range in age from 23 to 25, face charges of obstructing property and using forged documents. They’re due back in court in January.

From the BBC ...

Meanwhile, the White House has responded to a report in the Washington Post which said Israel, Hamas and the US were on the verge of a deal that would see the release of women and children seized by Hamas on 7 October in exchange for a five-day pause in fighting.

A White House spokesperson said no such deal had yet been reached but it was working hard to get one agreed.

Yes, but only $25k less

U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton sentenced Ganim to nine years in prison and about $300,000 in fines and restitution, in addition to $175,000 that he had previously stipulated that he owed.

That may have been why people went through the film of ballot boxes, to get proof of what they suspected.

Only if you fix the kbin tag in your post. /s

Imagine not believing that ... esp since "the United States has given Israel more than $260 billion in combined military and economic aid since World War II, plus about $10 billion more in contributions for missile defense systems like the Iron Dome, a U.S. News analysis finds". source
