That's why they are paid so much. To rationalize what the CEO wants to do.

Jesus Christ, man, you need to apologize for your craven cowardice on the nonexistent “DEI” panic, hire more people to fix the disgusting unattended shelves due to chronic understaffing, and stop making people need security to unlock a cabinet to buy underwear. This isn’t complicated.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Trump and the conservative media ecosystem have done a ton of work to recast the Biden years as a Hoover/Carter disaster that Trump rescued us from. I do think that gets harder every month

The thing that's not included in Healey's proposal are income-based fines, which, in my opinion, would address many of the equity concerns with traffic enforcement cameras. But we're not there yet, unfortunately.

Tempe, Arizona, has a contract with Flock, a surveillance company that shares data with law enforcement, including ICE. Ending that contract is one candidate’s priority in next week’s city council election there.

Dear Democrats,
All you need to do is blame everything shitty happening now on the Republicans. If you don’t know how to do this, just cut and paste from when they did it to Obama and Biden.

Love,
Me

I feel like I'm going mad whenever I read this shit. We've done what these fucking dickheads wanted! We've sold off public services, squeezed wages, cut spending, made every millionaire feel like a special boy. And still, anemic growth at best. It doesn't *work* lads!!

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein. YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

Capitalism creates unhealthy hierarchies in our society that prevents too many of us from understanding the actual work required to feed ourselves. It's backbreaking. Farm laborers are the glue that holds this country together

honestly there's no worse reflection on the AP tests that somehow their scores go up even as students read & write less, both self-reported on their own time, and in their classes. How can people who read less and write less be getting MORE proficient at written reasoning and complex text analysis?

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

My million dollar cost saving idea: Have the perma-headline "Shithead Talks Nonsense" for this and a number of other guys that doesn't actually link to a story.

Saying "over half of the company's employees are people of color!" is so funny. What part of PoC making up the majority of retail employees is incompatible with systemic racism?!

Reminds me of the museum docent who told me the Pullman Car Company was anti-racist because they hired black porters.
