University of Maryland opened first Dental School in United States in 1840.
There were no real dentists prior to that. Given that was only one school, going to a dentist was not available most of the US until the 20th century. |

DP. So, you “thought” about it, either read the comments here and didn’t understand them — or didn’t bother to read them, then made an assumption all on your own, and are continuing to put forth support for your incorrect assumption. Got it. Just for funsies though, what time span does your “modern era GI bill” cover? Just “today?” If you’re going to make things up, sharing your definitions could make for much better discussions. |

I dont know about Canada or the "reason' you are referring to but the US has birthright citizenship b/c of the aftermath of abolishing slavery and granting citizenship to the formerly enslaved- the way that congress went about it in the 14th amendment enshrines it in our constitution and its not really policy choice and you'd have to have a constitutional convention to change it. maybe we could do that and also get rid of the 2nd amendment? j/k if we have one the union is toast. lack of basic civics - mostly die to racism and discomfort with slavery is also mind boggling. |

are you kidding me- there is about to be a war between Serbia and Kosovo-- which you really should have an opinion about b/c when you vote for your congress people they will have an opinion about it which will influence how they choose to spend your tax dollars since you know the country you live in was "the leader of the free world" and the biggest economy on earth plus a very populous country - the only wealthy populous country and has a lot of influence on world affairs which makes us the only wealthy populous country... (as in interfering in other countries makes ordinary Americans wealthy) and yes- knowing the history of teh balkans is still incredibly important... just like knowing about the ME.. we are more likely to get sucked into WW3 b/c of Balkans than the ME. |

FMLA has nothing to do with getting paid while you use FMLA.
I was just trying to explain to a family member, who had covid in August and is experiencing lingering complications (38 yo and did not get pneumonia but gets short of breath just talking) and explaining that her short-term disability (13 weeks) with possible long-term disability has nothing to do with FMLA (which she was also required to do paperwork for). FMLA, where it applies, just means they have to keep you as an employee if you return by the time the 12 weeks are up. Longer than that, maybe you get an income (depending on your benefits) but it's up to them if they keep you on as an employee. |

I wish more people understood how government regulations come to be.
If you listen to many people, especially many conservative pundits, they seem to think the government has a bunch of bureaucrats sitting around in a vacuum with nothing better to do than to dream up dumb ways to make business owners miserable. That's 99.9% untrue. Regulations are based on legislation passed by the legislature, for example federal agencies have to figure out how to implement laws passed by Congress. The language in the law is what the regulation is based on. And agencies are typically not proactive - regulations typically don't come out of a vacuum, nor do they typically come from some kind of imagined grievances, they typically come about as a result of actual repeated abuses by industry or individuals. And they typically go through executive branch review from Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and rounds of review and input from the public and industry, it takes a long time. https://www.federalregister.gov/uploads/2011/01/the_rulemaking_process.pdf |
