I already never go there, but now I can have a chip on my shoulder about it.

Maybe the real shit hole country is the rights we violated along the way.

Every major institution across the country should be ignoring Trump administration orders until the Trump administration stops ignoring court orders.

Know how I know this is fiction? The claw machine has a strong grip. Also other things.

It must be nice to have so much money and freedom from consequences that that’s the kind of thing that bothers you.

The working and middle classes are effectively in a permanent recession now, anyway.

The left needs to do with “waste, fraud, and abuse” what the right did with “woke”. I guess that might be tough because the left doesn’t mindlessly parrot talking points as prolifically.

“Sure, all the valid evidence outright disproves a link between autism and vaccines, but have you ever considered lying?”

I don’t want to get too specific, but I work for a government-backed agency not directly funded by congress; we provide a service for parts of the government that they pay us for rendering.

Non-citizens pay into social security without receiving any benefits. There is no positive to doing this.

Did you read it? They abolished a bonus and redistributed it across their regular pay. They now get to advertise a higher salary without actually giving their workers any more money.

Anything to avoid improving the workers’ well-being.

Actual “Why are you booing me? I’m right” moment.

Was $90 the minimum? I thought it was the maximum.
