  • I’d try to find a way to set the issue aside when possible, I guess. I don’t have to support every decision decision my children make, but nonetheless I can support them as individuals.

    When it cubes down to it, I guess you gotta ask yourself if you value the relationship you have with your daughter. And let that inform your decisions as you learn to navigate the situation.

    Ultimately, though, this isn’t about you, for better or worse. How it influences your own perspective and choices, though, depends a whole lot on the context, all those details the rest of us don’t know.


  • Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I don’t even know if that’s the ideal. The most important thing is that the money is spent in a way that guarantees a positive impact on whatever specific problem that agency is attempting to tackle. Spending more than strictly necessary can be the difference between simply ‘kicking the can down the street’ vs picking the can up and getting it to a recycling center.

    The only reason I decided to put my two cents in is that I think we need to be aware how much propaganda is getting pushed on the subject of “less is better!! always!!!”, which is simply not true. Remember, the smaller and more “efficient” a government is, the easier and faster it is to corrupt said government (which I realize is kinda tangential, but i think still applies).
