lol I know I was being sarcastic because the police union’s name is incredibly dumb considering it’s corrupt. It’s like bills that say “American health freedom act” that removes regulations on insurance companies so they can further restrict which providers they feel like covering. Does the opposite of what it says on the tin

Also easier to steamroll over any legislative resistance if the government is shutdown. I would have mentioned judicial too, but we already know they’ll be on their knees with their mouths open

True, but you do need people to man the nearly 800 military bases the US has around the globe and I’m sure pretty much everyone except the neoconservatives would like to see many of those shut down or transferred to be run purely by their host government

Yup, go in. Sit in the break room. Stare at the wall for 8 hours, leave. Explain that you were in the office but “in a communal space waiting for an available workstation.”

A lot of this is because of the super shitty NYPD police union the PBA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Benevolent_Association_of_the_City_of_New_York

They have a history of being intolerant to women and LGBT people on the force. They use their power for exorbitant pay in many cases (like this one). Their head put his and the union’s endorsement for Trump. They give their members “PBA Cards” which are basically get out of jail free cards. And most recently they sued the mayor for putting in a bill that bans them from using steroids.

They’re like if you turned the Joe Rogan podcast into a police officer.

The only two photos I’ve seen today of the NYPD are them arresting a teamster and them escorting Luigi like he’s Hannibal lector. The capital isn’t gonna protect itself

"As we’ve said before, we don't employ these Accenture workers, so it's a matter between them and Accenture," Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini said in an emailed statement.

“It’s cheaper for us to outsource this labor and as long as Accenture doesn’t try to renegotiate our contract we give fuck-all what happens.”

The Capitalization Of Each Word Is Annoying But Yes, It’s Grammatically Fine
