    Nope.   Unless you have money or power...the elite do not care.

    Not at all.  I believe a trained monkey could do my job these days.

    lol

    When I started this job, I was told by the former person that a trained monkey could do it.
    Now it's gotten so complicated, even a trained person has difficulty keeping it all together.

    The duties required of me when I first became a legal secretary were varied and included legal research and drafting documents.  Over the years, the field of paralegal was introduced and they were given those duties.  As the years have gone by, I am now a glorified telephone operator.  I spend more of my time taking care of my bosses personal things than actually using my brain in the legal field.

    As much as I adore all of the above, I beg to differ.

    NO ONE is expandable.
    We all bring our own uniqueness to the table and THAT is what Makes "it" work.

    It doesn't matter if you agree/disagree, like/not like, etc.
    We ALL are important and have a reason, a personality, and a gift.

    Unfortunately, we are all expandable (I blame Dr. Pepper, pork rinds, and Twinkies).

  • It shouldn't surprise anyone. We have long since abandoned the principle of human life as something sacred to be protected. I think we're far enough down that road to assume that the cheapening of human life will become even more prevalent before things get better

      On a lopsided way, the quest for preserving human life at all costs has become a lightening rod for those who advocate for convicted serial killers. I use that specific category of murderers and I purposely exclude all people convicted of murder due to the probability of wrongful convictions and other such cases wherein opponents of the death penalty tout its wrongfulness.

    I don’t think I feel expendable in my life, based on the other answers here so far, maybe that means I’m delusional as well as expendable.

    No, it just means that humans are able to adapt. We lose someone and think we will never get over it, but in time we adjust.
