Mitch McConnell has repeatedly voted against federal paid sick leave legislation. He voted no in 1993, 2015, 2020, and 2022.
He has currently been on paid sick leave for over 7 weeks (if he is even still alive).
You dont hate politicians enough.
You can absolutely take any metric from 20+ years ago and it’s infinitely more difficult today.
Athletics? My daughter runs track. She’s fast and she’s determined. My husband ran too in the mid-90s. Times now to get into college are soooo much faster. Not even in the same realm. College times then are now what you have to run as a sophomore in high school to be even somewhat decent.
Academics? My other daughter is crazy smart. All honors, AP, straight A’s. Wasn’t even in the top 10% of her graduating class. She did what I did in high school to be in contention for valedictorian. Now you’ve got kids with impossible GPAs who take classes before school, online and full schedules during the year.
Jobs? You’re up against 100 other applicants and the job might not even be real in the first place. And that one job probably won’t even pay all your bills. You’ll need to somehow figure out a second one.
Absolutely ANY metric toward success is harder than it was and by a LONGSHOT. At some point, you just don’t have the means to go any faster, be any smarter, work any harder.
The fact that older generations don’t recognize it is absolutely the problem.

🚨#BREAKING: An INSANE story is unfolding in Troy, New York where a mayor who overrode her own city council's vote to END their Flock camera contract, by declaring a "public emergency," is now FUMING after citizens began cutting down the cameras!
The female mayor said that cutting down the cameras was "an act of violence..." and is begging the public to help identify who did it.
This is Troy, New York.
Troy's own City Council... the elected representatives of the people... VOTED to stop the Flock contract over privacy concerns.
They ordered the funding withheld.
So what did the mayor do?
She literally declared a "PUBLIC EMERGENCY" to keep the surveillance cameras running anyway.
So just to be clear:
>The people's representatives said end Flock cams.
>The mayor forced them to stay up by declaring an "emergency."
>She's now being SUED by her own city council over it. >The council is so alarmed they're trying to STRIP her power to declare emergencies at all.
And when frustrated citizens finally took a few of those cameras down themselves...
...the mayor called that "violence."
One of the wildest stories I've ever seen...
En la acción de la roja a Enzo, fijaos en el compañero que se tira al suelo simulando una falta inexistente, y encima Messi reclamando al árbitro que se revise jajajajajajaja es que son patéticos, así llevan toda la vida.
It turns out Flock Safety Cameras love and demand privacy, but only for themselves and their employees
- Flock business location says you can’t film
- Flock moved locations but they instructed the old building to not give out their location to anyone asking
- Security guard at Flock building says he doesn’t consent to being filmed and he doesn’t want to be “under surveillance”
Here’s where it gets really crazy
- The new flock building is identified but they won’t put their name on the building, or on any of the building signs
- Security won’t confirm Flock is in the building
- No one is allowed to film, no one is even allowed to access any floors in the building
Flock demands extremely privacy, but only for themselves
Americans must be under surveillance but for them, you can’t even film outside an old building…. Amazing….
Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?
Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
Yeah console is done. Nothing these companies can do is too far for y'all if you people are ACTUALLY buying two SIXTEEN year old video games with NO UPDATES for $40 DOLLARS EACH with a separate purchase of DLC for $30. EACH. $70 PORTS. Y'all are farmed cattle GG.
“No one is forcing you to work at that job you hatė.”
Rent is due, health insurance is tied to employment, groceries aren’t free. Yeah actually. Totally voluntary.
