Reply to Kaiser Permanente Sued Over Hormone Therapy by derpwild
This is the latest GOP battle in the Culture War designed to rile up primary voters. There are only a few gender assignment reversals done annually in the whole country. Most patients say surgery has saved their life. Kaiser makes no money on this surgery. Everything is paid from their own internal insurance group.

I say no unless you love rural life. Move closer to the city if you can.

Anyone who writes routine text for a living should worry. Paralegals, medical transcription, press releases, etc. Study civil engineering, trades, pilot. Hard to automate those for a while.

Biggest risk is getting lost, wet and cold. You won’t last a night this time of year without proper gear. File a plan with someone, carry enough gear to sleep overnight in the rain. Compass, gps and offline phone app like Gaia.

So a certain amount of the fuel is used for cooling. Apparently you can’t park too long either. Maybe there is an auto cool cycle.

What happens if you lose your cooling system? Will it rupture the tank and explode? Seems like it would take a lot of energy to keep it cold.

For job security go with civil engineering. For big bucks go with chemical engineering. Most importantly pick something you have an interest in and stick with it.

There is Puget Sound Naval Museum up in Bremerton if he likes Military stuff.

The answer is the creation of a new CCC focused on creating works of art and improving the quality of life for everyone. The most beautiful bridges, parks and art ever made in the US was a jobs creation program during the depression. The profit motive has run its course and needs to be replaced.

Homeless camps are filled with people who would have had decent jobs doing repetitive work twenty years ago. The pace of automation has accelerated beyond our ability to create new jobs.

I5 is probably bare and dry. Side roads can get dicey.

Get a nice boat and you will love it. Lots of hiking and fishing too. 6 months of rain gets old though.

Check the post offices. Starts low but is stable. Find a room mate and take the bus. Build up from there.

Federal Way is more affordable and central to a lot of jobs. Ignore all the cracks about the crime. It’s not that bad.

Depends on your politics and rent prices. More rural will be more red. For blue move close to a big university west of the mountains.

Drive on the coast as much as possible for the views. Stay in Yurts with heat for only $50. State parks usually have them available this time of year.
