He’s got a point. America is a nation built on strict conformity and following the rules. Without that stuff we could end up like some crazy third world country.
The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California....
I think she would make a fine Presidentress. Seems like she has a few great ideas up her sleeve about how to get this country out of the mess that Joe got us into.
Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We’ve come far, and have further to go!
You are a terrible landlord. I would have evicted and found somebody who could pay full price, and kept her security deposit to cover the transition. I doubt you are as successful of a landlord as me because you make foolish business decisions.
This young man should be an inspiration to the rest of you, an ideal tenant and employee that gives every penny he earns back to the economy. The world would be better off with a few more Steven T Johnson’s and a few less Greta Thumburgs.
Wrongo! Strikes are bad for EVERYONE and should be ILLEGAL! Whenever I hear whispers of union stuff at my company I fire the guilty employee and I also call the cops on them and say I saw a drug deal happening at their house.
Your commute is your own problem, I don’t pay my employees for driving to work, they can always move closer to the office or sleep in their cars in the parking lot overnight if driving home and back is such a big deal.
So no, I won’t be paying you to drive home and furthermore, at my businesses I have a swear jar policy; every swear word an employee says I take a dollar/hour off their pay for that day. So watch your potty mouth or you’ll be the one who ends up paying me.
I voted for Governor Shapiro because I’ve always loved his YouTube videos, but I don’t agree with a move like this. Voting shouldn’t be too easy or people won’t cherish it for the special thing that it is.
Voting is so important, it’s a rite of passage and a symbolic, almost religious ceremony. If you just sign everybody up to do it willy-nilly, they won’t take it seriously. Better that people should have to jump through a few hoops so only the people that really care can partake.
See that’s what I’m talking about. If you didn’t vote recently then you probably don’t really care about it and should have to go re-register to prove that you’re really committed to democracy before being able to vote again. That’s how we make sure only the real democracy cherishers can vote, and that’s how we defeat authoritarian demagogues.
It’s surprising that in all these years, nobody came up with this innovation to make Twitter more profitable but in just a short time period, Musk was able to figure it out. Goes to show why he’s the richest man in the world!
I’m hereby announcing that people who the left vilifies and dehumanizes with hurtful words like “scab” are always welcome to work at any of my businesses.
None of my businesses are about boot cleaning, but even if they were, it wouldn’t be me doing it, it would be my employees.
Just so you know, the people you cruelly slander with such gross language as “scab” are actually some of the hardest workers. They don’t make absurd demands for more pay and luxurious pampered conditions, they just show up and do the work and take whatever they are given. The way it should be.
The logical end of the ‘Solution to bad speech is better speech’ has arrived in the age of state-sponsored social media propaganda bots versus AI-driven bots arguing back
The tweets, the articles, and even the journalists and news sites were crafted entirely by artificial intelligence algorithms, according to the person behind the project, who goes by the name Nea Paw and says it is designed to highlight the danger of mass-produced AI disinformation.
As a capitalist myself, you’re my favorite kind of person. I love the ones that don’t question anything, do as they’re told and take whatever they get. Thank you for being you! ❤️
Now, hope you aren’t posting on the clock! If so get back to work you little scamp (imagine I’m affectionately ruffling your hair right now).
