    There are a lot of situations out there where people, myself included, say one thing but when it comes down to it, they’d do the same thing if given the chance. I try to be cognizant of that but this is one time where I can absolutely say I wouldn’t be in that situation. I’ve turned down jobs for much less. Granted I wasn’t offered anywhere near the kind of money this jagoff was making but money isn’t a factor when it comes to something like this.









  • It’s not entirely out of touch tho. Trust me, there is a not insignificant sect of the populace that firmly believes if private insurance goes away and the country just dips it’s toes into universal healthcare, the communists have won and the country is ruined beyond repair somehow.

    After talking to a good amount of these folks, I’ll say the absolute bonkers mental gymnastics to justify that line of thought is truly something to behold.



  • There was a time not too long ago where I would have just assumed a move this clearly douchey and against your customers’ desires would lead to nothing but a complete evacuation of those customers, but I’ve seen this movie play out enough times to know that somehow, someway, this will work out just fine for them. People will complain, swallow it whole, keep on using it, and finally just forget about it.



  • Lol we’re already there. 2019 was the most cases the US has seen since the measles were declared eradicated in the country. New York and Washington declared an official state of emergency for it. This year is barely better and we are perilously close to losing its elimination status which would (obviously) make us the only developed nation to hold that honor.

    Fun fact, this year 97% of cases were found in people that were not fully vaccinated. Of course this is merely a huge coincidence and vaccines serve no other purpose than turning us and the neighboring wildlife gay but it’s worth noting.




  • The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories.

    These are the kinds of hard hitting issues that the people actually care about but were mysteriously absent in the talks leading up to the election. It’s just crazy how out of touch politicians are these days.
