Are we sure he just wasn't retiring due to his age? This statement seems pretty vague.
edit: for clarity, this is sarcasm
Sound pretty clear to me. And if you include the context of each sentence, before and after, I don’t see how much clearer it could get.
You're 100% correct. I was making a joke about the people saying otherwise. I did an edit, but it wasn't fast enough to save you the time. Thank you for the correction.
Poe’s Law strikes again!
Better than Murphy's Law, because when that one strikes Matthew Mcconaughey falls out of a higher dimensional bookshelf worm hole in your ceiling. He is not fun company and keeps telling you to "just roll with it."
Around here Murphy's Law strikes as something like "After 1/2h writting a well though insightful comment, just before the the would be commenter presses 'Reply' he up/downvotes the parent comment, thus losing the entire text of his own not yet posted comment"
Halloweens over and yet you come with the spookiness. You gave me a small shiver with that one. It felt all too familiar.
Yes, read his letter giving notice.
sorry, /s. I might need to start clarifying that more. I appreciate the response
I ate the onion. Sorry, the tone of this particular discussion had me feeling frustrated.
Why Israel doesn't genocide 2 million Arabs that are Israeli citizens?
They don't have any land the Israeli right wing nuts want.
That's a workforce.
Prison industrial pipelines do make for that sweet legal slave labor. If it's good enough for the US?
Time and opportunity?
What grade of marxist/leninist shit is he smoking?
Oh hey boo, haven't seen you since you tried to say all the Jewish people should flee Detroit for fear of being murdered in religiously targeted hate crimes. What you been doing gurl?
I was wrong, it's all the terrorist flag waving, pro-genocidal chanting, revolutionary socialists and useful idiots for Iran, China, and Russia that should be leaving.
I hate to break it to you, but your track record of wrongness has not improved. Perhaps some courses at the community college may do some good?
The people I've seen entering the workforce out of college lately have been absolute morons that couldn't figure out how to push a broom if it came with an instruction manual. So I'm going to have to pass on that idea.
Are you calling them stupid, education stupid, or are you just saying they're poor workers?
