What's this, an account from Lumberton yelling about how Fayetteville is gross & crimey? Oh boy. Let's look up some stats.
Fayetteville NC homicide rate: 11.34 per 100K
Lumberton NC homicide rate: 28.1 per 100K
This is what I'm talking about with the "haha Fayettenam" stuff.
Lumberton's got real problems bud! Your homicide rate is close to triple Fayetteville's. You could, idk, get productively engaged in your hometown or something.
But sure go ahead, tell yourself that someone *else* is "mad about living in a shithole." let it all out LMAO
Here's the story of Pinehurst & Southern Pines. Back in the Gilded Age some robber baron got tired of winter, took a train south, & when he found the first place it was warm enough to play golf, he built a resort town.
It's been a wealthy golf retirement enclave ever since.
Then, in WWI, Fort Bragg got built. Southern Pines used to be nice & isolated from dumpy, scrubby Fayetteville.
Fort Bragg connected them. Integrated them, you could almost say. With federal salaries, why, *anyone* could afford to move out of Fayetteville into Southern Pines.
I'm just at a loss over how you load up a laundry detergent with enough P. aeruginosa to give people skin infections.
Between this & Daily Harvest giving people liver damage, I would love to see us figure out that expensive shit with aspirational health & wellness branding can totally hurt you.
Full disclosure: I'm not a human doctor. I'm a doctor for crops.
So this comes from the POV of agricultural epidemiology: how diseases hang out in the landscape & sometimes run into people & the plants/animals we hang out with.
Monkeypox is 1 member of a big family of orthopoxviruses:
"Be your own boss" is a trash reason to start a business.
Nobody's perfect. So if you do an operation halfway right, your clients/customers and employees (if you have them) will tell you what got fucked up CONSTANTLY.
that's not a very boss-ly feeling, idk what to tell you 🙃
Having more control over your time, having more (but by NO means total) control over your income, etc: self-employment *can* accomplish that.
But I feel like a lot of people take "being your own boss" to mean "I'm the captain now" & like...no. Now u are simply on an other level of being committed to other people's needs. Or else your business dies and your staff leave you because you treated them like shit.
