Stop simping for billionaires. It's embarrassing to watch.

It's not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly "communism" (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.

I'll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don't even need to point out what Mao did to China.

"The good of the people" is a noble enough goal. Unfortunately, the people in charge of these movements are people who deliberately seek power, and for the most part, those people are vain greedy, brutal, a-holes.

Well. More porn for the rest of us.

Minimum wage should have been $15/hr at least 10 years ago.

The GOP has used the threat of a government shutdown many times to hold this country hostage.

"The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping."

Damn right, I'm not helping.

"Also, do you really NEED to sleep?"

I save my profanity for times and things that are truly worth getting upset about. If you use it all the time, then it becomes meaningless. It just becomes background noise and you sound like a 10 year old all the time.

Company-wide email: "We had our best year EVER and it's all thanks to YOU!"

Me: "Great. Can I have a raise?"

"Oh, we can't afford THAT."
