I have worked in plenty of places where there is little drama. These are usually run by well respected, competent managers who are also transparent. If you always run into office politics, the problem could possibly be you.

500 children die of influenza in the US each year. COVID is far less of a threat to young people. We have to make tradeoffs and having kids in college and not at home with parents and grandparents is a good solution

So that everyone knows what you're talking about, the "anti LGBT" groups included the Fellowship for Christian Athletes (which exists in most every high school) and the Salvation Army.

What has changed is near universal availability of high speed wireless. Followed by a national experiment in remote working. You don't have to live in the city to have a lucrative tech job.

Lake Lanier is amazing, get a boat. All of the islands just waiting for you pull up to a secluded beach on and spend the day.

If you're spending that kind of money on a boat, you're almost certainly keeping it in a covered dock or lift. The panels won't get much direct sun except when out tooling around. Better to put the panels on the roof of the
