@BackstageJimmy @lovablemarketer @JustinBrannan The bill just passed today, but that really wasn’t her point. If you don’t think that public policy at all levels has placed a greater emphasis on private interests rather than public or the past year, you are clueless. In any case, you’re an asshole.
@Joseph_Belmont @Medlatto @gringatears I didn’t coin the term. And I’m aware both that it’s an academic American term and that plenty of people aren’t crazy about it. But you said it wasn’t an (English language) word and I disagreed. Continue to dunk if it pleases you.
