Gah, it posted when I went to type this. Go figure!

Go to the link below and call the appropriate number for your closest L&I office. They're quite good at this sort of thing and will be happy to speak with you.

Yeah but that's not the vast majority of people, now is it?

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a pretty shit take on anything. The vast majority of people don't base their personalities around politicians. They support politicians who support things they also support.

More like they probably charged the taxes and didn't properly remit them to the state. As I recall that's an automatic suspension of the license to sell until the situation is fully investigated, fines are paid, and they give the go ahead to sell again.

Yeah, that's a very real issue. I am a combat veteran and while I wouldn't say combat wasn't scary or any such bullshit, I was lucky not to be troubled by my experience with it as much as so many others.

When I was injured and discharged, I considered being a veterinarian and volunteered at a local shelter for a while. That experience taught me well that the shit you see in that field was almost certain to cause me no end of mental health issues so I ended up not going into that line of work.

Shelter workers often see some of the worst abuses that humanity perpetuates on animals. It's a great line of work inasmuch as you get to see heartwarming events fairly often but at the same time there's so much of the polar opposite that it's just awful. I have nothing but respect for anyone who manages to work in that field for any length of time.
