  • Ok, coming from someone who actually voted for him in 2016, before the war started, I was saying someone just needs to go into the oval office and just say “ok grandpa, its time to go to bed, sh shhhh, its ok, you just need a nice nap. Dont worry about the country, its OK, its just time to go to bed.” Or even going as far as just moving him while hes asleep into a replica white house, tell him he cleaned out all his people and that he picked these new people to help him run things and then replace them with actors that just tell him hes doing great.









  • I totally get where you’re coming from, but let me play devils advocate: when their policy is to deny and dispose which results in the death of so many people, ruins the livelihoods of so many people. When we know the majority support universal Healthcare and we know it would save the lives of like 172000 people every year. The ceo may not kill people with a gun, but he is killing with the pen. When they make decisions that they know will kill people but will also raise the stock price, then what is justified?



  • I was working on a house for this retired lawyer this week. At dinner he was talking about how hard it was to find Healthcare a while ago because his wife had cancer and he had heart issues. He was talking about the thousands he had to pay then and also talking about trying to pay for Healthcare for everyone at his practice and how horribly expensive that was and how he had to eventually drop it. The very next day I walk by the living room and the news is reporting on Luigi, and his comment was “I wish they would just take him outside and shoot him, but they won’t do that will they”

    The disconnect, even for someone so smart, is real

    What’s worse is this, work in a place thats been around for 40+ years owned by one guy and worked at by the same people for decades. Come in as the young new guy with no experience working with the people who have a couple decades more than you. Then work there for 20 years but always be 20-30 years behind them no matter what. You get more experience, but so do they. You can never not be the fuckin new guy. The job is tough, but everyone makes money, so no one ever leaves. So, you’re always the new guy, but you’re not going anywhere either because you know, they all have to retire sometime and then the whole thing will be yours.
