The guy who told factory workers he doesn't work for them still lies to our faces about having our best interests in mind.
That wasn’t what happened. Someone was spouting off about how Biden wanted to take everyone’s guns after seeing a manipulated video then threw out the ”I pay your salary, you work for me” line that every jackass like to throw at public employees like police or people just doing their job at the DMV.
Nah, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that to politicians. They’re supposed to be public servants and they need to be reminded of that as often as possible.
And yes he absolutely SHOULD be working for factory workers. Don’t be such a cuck to these people. They’re supposed to be serving you, and they aren’t, and they don’t even pretend to be, and you’re allowed to be angry about it.
It’s not “reasonable” to say that to anyone, by the time you’ve said it you’ve given up on actively communicating. It serves no purpose to make progress on an issue, it’s really just an adult temper tantrum retort. The second part of your comment makes no sense in the context of the actual situation, you might as well just be regurgitating AI text with that sort of CHAD GPT level comprehension.
