Glad your friends' experiences are exceptional. I know a woman working for Epic in the Madison area who miscarried due to work stress. Madison housing is also a lot less affordable these days, assuming you want to actually live in Madi

I've been told by doctors and nurses that using Epic sucks, mainly because you're doing constant data entry while trying to listen to and care for patients, but that it's still far better than using any of Epic's competi

Epic is known locally as an exploitative, abusive employer of software engineers. Work-life balance is poor, pay is mediocre for the industry, and skills with their in-house tools don't transfer outside Epic. They have an extensive non

The simple answer is that one group's ideological allies grabbed control of the Empire and now they don't want to give it up.

Strikes me as odd how one flavor of commenters who've long called for the "end of the American Empire," reductions in our "overseas military imperialism," and closure of the VoA "propaganda outlet" now sta

Can describe in detail how you, a Pakistani, think America should relax its child pornography laws?

What does the editorial decision of a newspaper's owner, which runs counter to the unconcealed biases of many who remain gainfully employed at the paper, have to do with legal freedoms of association and expression?

I don't have a duty of care to every corrupt foreign country with complex, long-running border disputes and interests orthogonal to my own. Does that answer your pointed question?
