I’m livid George Pickens is playing today. It’s an embarrassment. To the Steelers logo. The Rooney family. And all the great Steelers who have put on that uniform.
Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns. Despite some assistance from me, much of the staff is struggling mightily. We all were hopeful this would come to an end after Labor Day, but that day has come and gone, and there still seems to be nothing happening. I love my writers, I am one of them, but I’m not prepared to lose an entire year and see so many below-the-line people suffer so much. I will honor the spirit of the strike by not doing a monologue, desk piece, New Rules or editorial, the written pieces that I am so proud of on Real Time. And I’ll say it upfront to the audience: the show I will be doing without my writers will not be as good as our normal show, full stop. But the heart of the show is an off-the-cuff panel discussion that aims to cut through the bullshit and predictable partisanship, and that will continue. The show will not disappoint.
@AlexCDesilets@radmobile5000@ianmiles Not everyone gets married or stays married. There are periods in everyone’s lives where they are not married. The hypothetical argued that single women wouldn’t work.
@AlexCDesilets@radmobile5000@ianmiles It’s not hyperbolic. That’s the scenario that was specifically laid out.
Not every woman is breast feeding at any given moment. Parental leave (which leftists do support overwhelmingly) invalidates this midwit argument.
@4lex_05@radmobile5000@ianmiles The problem is now women are dependent on men to give them half of their money because all women don’t work. I’m responding to the hypothetical scenario posted above.
Orrrrrr they could just have the same opportunities as men to be financially independent.
@AlexCDesilets@radmobile5000@ianmiles “if women didn’t work there would be half as many tax payers”
Only way to make this hypothetical work is if the ability to work was taken away from women.
