How long until you can report an adult missing?

Probably best to call the police and see what they think.

PSA: There is probably some kind of election going on in your county this November.

Yes, I agree with all of this.

I'm just disillusioned with state and national level political options.

Side note: I'm on an organizing committee of a statewide minor political party, so obviously I haven't totally given up hope.

Yeah point was this was just to remind people that there are elections going on everywhere....as far as actual offices up for election, for me it is just my county and some town offices.

It's interesting because I tend to vote a specific party because I don't usually do that much research but on the county level issues, often time party doesn't really matter.

Like the one candidate I am looking at who I would otherwise vote for is opposed to specific development projects that I honestly don't have a problem with. Still looking at her platform to see where she stands on other issues.

Why are teachers and other school staff paid so little?

I live in a "right to work" state, so no effective unions.

It is so funny that it is called "right to work." I have been listening to a lot of history podcasts lately and the term "right to work" originally related to wanting laws to get passed where the government had to provide you with a job if you could not find one.

Yes, vote, but they never offer any good candidates. The big two parties in the US are both criminal mafias. Vote anyway though.

That is why we should have ranked choice voting...would make it easier for independents to run and win.

Regardless, even if there are only two candidates, most likely you will prefer one to the other...most people have opinions are the major issues of the day.

Also propositions are often on the ballot. Where I live there are propositions that are actually proposing changes to the State constitution. Last year we had a proposition about term limits of county officials.

Why are teachers and other school staff paid so little?

Where i live, there are tons of male teachers, so i don't think misogyny. But then again teacher salary tends to be higher in my area too ๐Ÿค”

It some places (tho not most, from what i understand) being a teacher is quite lucrative. It depends where you live.

I would say teacher salary is probably correlated with how strong the teacher's union is in that area.

Also keep in mind teachers work for the state, so if there was enough popular sentiment there really is no reason public school teachers salary shouldn't go up.

So i would say the reason is lack of strong labor organization in many places and general public apathy and inertia on the issue.

Is it wrong to wish someone would go away?

It really depends on the context but i would say in general wishing something has little effect on anyone else's life so the ethical considerations are minimal to be sure.

Places to see in United States?

Well, niagara falls is in the northeast.

Florida and louisiana have some nice swamps if you're into that.

I think some of the great lakes are partly in midwest.

Great resource is if you go to your local library and get a travel guide for specific state after looking at a map.
