Design is easy.
You just have a hundred little meetings a day, write dozens of emails and then you sit down and design for like 15 minutes at 4:45pm.

@IRSnews It's been a year since I filed my 2020 taxes, and I still don't have my tax refund. What's surprising is how long it's taking to get the money owed to me from the IRS.

Don't ask why someone else deserves $15 an hour when you had to work your way up for decades to get to $15.

If you make minimum wage and work full-time, you qualify for food stamps.

Who pays for food stamps? You do.
