We pick them off us and 3 pets fur and put them in a vial of alcohol. Too many so early. I get at least 3 on me/day.

Scientific quantification. We have a vial every year to compare. Not walking in woods, just driveway 30' to house or take trash out. Mow once/week.

Ticks are absolutely horrible this year, I've pulled numerous off both children and myself and we haven't even been deep into the woods, just on walking trails and in parks.

Yes. In the past 10 years, I have maybe found two ticks on me. In the past two weeks, I have had found two. We are always outside with the grands. Having Alpha Gal sucks (no pun intended), I don't need for it to get worse.

Not more than usual. Pro-tip, get Frontline (or equivalent) for your indoor+outdoor pets. It helps keep ticks out of your house.

Libs really want 30 hours of sick time for 1 hour work called Univ Basic Income. This is a great example of an organic Missouri effort to change our Constitution, you can tell by the homemade signs. NOT, another dark money effort to buy an amendment when they fail in legislature. End this BS. FJB

Paid leave is good for families and employers--it helps attract and retain the best talent, reducing employee turnover costs, and helps alleviate financial strain on families. It's a win-win.

Paid sick leave is needed for all workers. How can you pay medical bills if you aren't getting paid while you are sick or recovering from surgery?

No one should have to choose between taking care of themselves or a child and missing a pay check. This is an obvious yes.

Small Missouri employers have enough problems just meeting their payrolls. More government intrusion is not the answer.

You think prices are high now. Wait until they raise them some more if this passes.

If you don't want to be an employee, START A BUSINESS. If you can't start a business, LEAVE BOONE COUNTY. It's quite simple.

Businesses will leave not only Boone County but Missouri if this passes. Businesses will also try extra hard to automate and replace people with AI robots to keep their costs down. The problem with marxist socialists is that they ultimately run out of other people's money.

You accepted the benefits or lack there of when you accepted the job. If they offer overtime see if you can store all or part of your hours for unforeseen circumstances. If not look for a company that provides leave and quit trying to force small businesses out.
