Is this the new seven minutes to midnight? We're 1.5% to asteroid.

So... a national park, then?

So... you don't want to touch the grass?

I think you're confusing neo-liberals and the left there buddy.

That's not a park, then, it's a nature preserve.

I'd imagine those same people think any spending is a waste of taxpayers dollars.

Life would be a lot simpler if we could just sing and dance our way through employment disputes.

It's pretty easy to infer what they meant based on context. Provided you're trying to understand what they mean and not divorcing all intent from the words.

Good news! The new Dacia Sandero...

I had the opposite experience. Left a shitty blue-collar job (it was even a union job, but the union was toothless and mostly just existed to get work from places that would only place orders with union shops) for an office job.

The hours are better, the pay is better, the co-workers are less bigoted, and I no longer smell like grease and sweat whenever I come home.

There will always be trade-offs in any job. Whether it's blue-collar, white-collar, or whatever ever other collar you can think of. There is no perfect job type for everyone.

*Plurality

More people decided to just not show up than voted for either candidate.

Not saying that's better, it's honestly decidedly worse... but presenting it as though they represent the Majority of Americans is wildly inaccurate.

The majority of Americans would rather sit on their ass and wait for someone else to fix the problem... or for the entire thing to collapse in on itself... than actually fight for a better future.

Their response wasn't to fix the problem, it was to find a better way to subjugate people. Clearly his methods aren't the solution. They're just an easy way to pass the problem off to someone else without you having to put in the effort to help fix it yourself.
