A Japanese girl worked at a bath house to pay for her college tuition in school of law, and passed her administrative lawyer license exam by studying while kneed down in a bathtub at her "workplace" when there's no customer she should "serve".

Reading this made me outrageous, especially at some point the article mentioned how one of her "colleagues" was also a student in school of law, and how her customers would discuss over exam questions with her.

Is this supposed to be encouraging?

Edit: Misleading title. Should be girl in her 20s, instead of 20 year old.

Taxes have to bail out food banks offering food to victims of a disaster of poorly enforced corporate regulation of the offending organization GKN, which has a history of paying fines for violations.

GKN is part of the military industrial complex.

So nice that so many people under the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism can raise money for a man that should have been collecting retirement for several years now as is his right (for now) as a U.S. Senior Citizen. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

I work for HCA, the largest for profit hospital company in the US. They have a program where you can give money from your pay check to a fund to help colleges whe something tragic happens. This is an email they sent out recently to promote it.

Another note: the health insurance that you get for working for HCA basically requires you to use their own services for all your healthcare needs. Notice the bolder sentence:

EMAIL:
Lindsey Carson has been a steady presence for others during some of their hardest moments since joining Timpanogos Regional Hospital. She has cared for patients in the ICU and now serves as a house supervisor, helping lead the hospital through emergencies and supporting staff through unpredictable nights.
‌
She is used to being calm in the middle of chaos. Then an emergency touched her own family.
An ordinary school day took an unexpected turn. Lindsey learned her first-grade daughter, Sage, had fallen from the monkey bars at school and suffered a severe open arm fracture that required emergency surgery the same day.
‌
Just weeks later, the same week Sage had her cast removed, Lindsey’s older daughter, Allie, was thrown from a horse while riding. In an unbelievable coincidence, Allie injured the same bone in the same place as her younger sister and required emergency surgery as well.
‌
Suddenly, Lindsey and her husband were balancing two recovery schedules, medical appointments, childcare for their toddler twins, and mounting medical bills.
‌
A colleague encouraged Lindsey to apply for the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund.
‌
When she learned her family would receive assistance, she felt a renewed sense of hope.
‌
“An immense burden was lifted from our shoulders, and we will be forever grateful,” she said. “You have given our family not only financial relief, but also peace of mind during a very difficult season.”
‌
Both Sage and Allie are now healing and continuing their recovery.
‌
Because of our community of donors, colleagues like Lindsey receive support when life changes in an instant. Thank you for helping make moments of relief possible for HCA Healthcare colleagues and their families.

It doesn't sound like he got the dog back after either
