    The fight over a Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery.

    IMO, confederates were and are traitors. We should remember what they did, what they stood for, and why these things happened at historical sites like Gettysburg.

    There's a national cemetery in Riverside, CA. If I go there, I don't want to see any celebration of traitors. You can put up Benedict Arnold monuments at sites where key events occurred with his participation, but they don't belong at other national monuments. And so it is with the Confederacy.

    Guess what? It isn't unusual for regular folks to wait five or sometimes even ten minutes for a page to load. They're generally running a low-end device from a few years back (except their phones, which are whatever the cellular company was pushing two years ago).

    Great #videochat with #GS3, #GS4, and briefly #GS5. We talked about their books that I'm reading for them. Also about their outing yesterday ... the family went for a drive ... #sonTwo didn't say that they stopped anywhere, either. Usually, such trips end up with a stop at a city park if the weather is okay.

    The thing people don't always understand is that college & university degrees are supposed to combine general knowledge with field specific knowledge. In many fields, one may obtain job focused training from a vocational program and be employed in a shorter time than going to college.

    The uni grad's general knowledge is why we tend to make them supervisors instead of reguar employees, but there's a limit to how many supervisors can tell someone with a shovel how to dig the hole.

    @simsa03 A few years ago in the US, STEM grads had the lowest "work in field" within a certain time after graduation rate of any subject / major.

    Rumors of high pay attract people who don't even like the required tasks to study it anyway.

    @clacke *60s* sexist toy lines.

    Yes, that's what I expected.

    Except I know Mattel faces lots of pressure over the unrealistic anatomy and the idea that the dolls could feed into anorexia & bulimia, so I'd expect so.e concessions.

    (Not like Robin Williams as Popeye, who kept the giant cartoon forearms.)

    > earnings per sponsored post,

    It looks like "if $SPONSOR pays you to post, then you get $PAYMENT" for each one. Or for each click on a sponsored post.

    So it sounds like talk radio, where the announcer always yells you that they use $SPONSORED_PRODUCT and it does wonderful things for them.

    Still, $780K to $2.4M per post presumes the person's followers are very gullible. Are they going to buy $SPONSORED_PRODUCT in droves because $ONLINE_CELEBRITY posted about it?

    I won't be surprised when such pay scales collapse to $5 or less per post, because there is no way a single post is swinging that many people into buying.
