I will say, it totally depends on the mood of the ranger. Me and some friends went camping, got 2 sites off-peak and our ranger just decided to be a grump. I don't know if he was bored or just on a power trip. We hadn't even been there 3 hours before he came around and was counting people.

Reply to comment by HomicidalHushPuppy in How can we attract more people into the teaching profession? by jekomo

Pay is a huge one, but also the lack of additional supports for special needs has made teaching terrible. I know several teachers that quit because they struggled with dealing with difficult kids in the classroom that could have been dealt with by having aids or additional options to support those students. Instead, they just put them in the class and expect the teacher to have the normal classwork, plus modified classwork to address special needs, and be able to provide everyone the amount of support they need. Add in frustrated parents and politics and the pay becomes 5x too little.

It's somewhat debated in a chicken and egg way, but at the same time as inflation is getting to the highest levels in a long time, corporate profits are also hitting record highs. It's clear that companies are using the increased demand and "supply chain issues" to take in more profits.

Reply to New car failed inspection. Was pressured to pay about $1k in repairs to pass. I took my car to the dealership instead and it passed inspection by mandyaffogato

Good job OP going to the QAO. I was tricked like this by a dealer I was in the middle of a dispute with about another car. They started my gas cap was leaking and failed emissions. I was kind of stuck and couldn't go without a car so I just accepted it. Really regret that even though it didn't really cost me that much. They were just thieves.
