@Mssoctoberr @washingtonpost It's only Party apparatchiks who care about "disrespecting" Biden/Harris. Actual voters are desperate to have a non-senile candidate take their place. Who in their right mind actually thinks it's a sane idea to have an 85-year old President (or worse, Kamala Harris?)
@nationalpost "$11,200, on average, for each of the 1,805 employees." That seems like a much more relevant figure than the lump sum in the headline. Would be nice to know the percent increase, and how much they already make on average (I'm assuming a fuckload?)
@DrJacobsRad There needs to be some kind of oversight on what our rulers spend. I don't blame the individuals for wanting to live large, but we need a system that reigns it in.
@Linds_cha@nationalpost It's hard for some of us peasants to grasp how renting a car - even a very nice one - for a few days can cost significantly more than we earn in a year. But you aristocrats know better; thanks for keeping us in our place!
@brad_polumbo He definitely espouses (albeit incoherently) some broadly conservative views about respect, tradition, loyalty, etc. He doesn't actually live by those ideals, but then who does?
@philwhln@Noahpinion So if the "discipline of the free market" forces them to pay the cost of their pollution, why aren't they doing it? Are we really supposed to believe polluters would be paying for pollution, but the government forces them NOT to?
@Ladysailor12@mysteriouskat The ONLY reason you can imagine someone disagreeing with you about a movie is that they want children to be abused? Sounds very good faith. I think The Happening was an awful movie; that doesn't mean I want trees to murder everyone (though actually...)
