They also can never find their signals and are by far the most aggressive drivers on the road.

Definitely from the company’s perspective, but I have a hard time believing that the workers are expensive from a perspective of what they should be making if wages kept pace with inflation and skills for the last six decades or so.

Unless their employees can take vacations whenever they want with no pushback about coverage and they’re not forcing them to work late nights and weekends, they’re not overstaffed. I don’t think there’s a tech company in this country that hasn’t squeezed every bit of their employees’ schedules that they can without major pushback. We should be working fewer hours, not overtime and until that happens, we’re absolutely not overstaffed.

Yeah, I don’t feel bad for comey getting bit, he should have known what Trump was about long before he decided to try to swing the election in 2016. I don’t know how anyone could have trusted Trump even back then before this last decade.

Granted, this is a leopardsatemyface trial, but it’s still important because it’s a high-profile indication of trump’s DOJ weaponization against his enemies.

Haha I think I zoned out midway through the quote from him. So trump raised something like $300 million according to him previously and that’s only going to go to place settings.

Yeah, but where’s the money that he raised for the ballroom? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if he just pocketed it and that our political donation system is not regulated and like everything else, just relies on winks and handshakes, but his grift has to hit some legal wall at some point, right? …right?

Where’d all the money go that he raised already? It’s great that these assholes can cut everything else, saying “we don’t have the money,” but find infinite funds when their king wants something.

I had to renew mine this year and the first thing I did when I got it was to check for bullshit like this.

I don’t think it’s that easy; people are taking out ten year loans on cars rather than just buy used just because they want something new. Ticketmaster has been blatantly ripping people off on concert tickets for decades and the way to fix it would be to just stop buying overpriced tickets, but people are still spending what Ticketmaster is asking. There’s no impulse control for luxury items anymore.

Next year, he’ll probably outlaw sneeze-guards at the buffet.

He’s paid all of them too?! If a cop has a spare $36k to spend on being a reckless driver, he’s being paid way too much.
