No, nobody ever says “I’m going to higher you” as a way to indicate they are promoting you. Not in the military, not in non-profits, not in the government, and not in any private or public business in the US. “Higher” is a homophone with “h

It’s not difficult, it’s impossible under freedom of religion and just independent thought generally. One person’s “well being” might be measured by how many wives and children you have. Another’s might be education level and physical fitne
