can only get 25 hours a week because obongocare

No you can only get 25 hours a week because your shitty bosses are screwing you over to avoid helping you be insured so that they can save money.

Also this is nothing new, this was why you saw people only able to work 30 or 35 hours a week before Obamacare was passed, because our cheap ass employers were trying to avoid paying you all of the benefits befitting full time, 40 hours a week, employees, which again, includes insurance. These people will do anything to find a new way to exploit their workers.

PS: Fuck the health insurance industry and being tied to a job for our health insurance, give us universal healthcare now!

The comment was a “complete joke” and the study was made-up, the Minneapolis mayor’s office told Fortune

Ah yes the typical "what? It was just a joke, why's everyone mad at me?" reaction to saying something only an asshole would say, fuck this guy. So sorry rich people are going to make less money off of their real estate investments, boo fucking hoo, how about adapting to technological and cultural changes better? 🤷‍♂️

Recently had an argument with my conservative father, he's always been big into Trek and Wars, and I had just started really watching Trek again, never watched a lot of the shows all the way through. So this father of mine started going on about how woke Trek was now, and I just lost it on him, I just get so tired of the "anti-woke" nonsense and he just finds some way to insert it into every conversation. So I was like "oh no, not woke Star Trek, the series about a socialist utopia, the series that holds the title of "the American show with the first interracial kiss", the show where Kirk throws his dick at every species with a quim, the show that had a Ruskie character in the middle of the f'n Red Scare." Star Trek was always woke, and my father was always too dumb, racially biased, and narcissistic to pick up on the lessons that they were trying to teach us when he watched it as a child in the 60's.

I have not even tried to bring up Star Wars since the Disney acquisition, I'm sure my father has an insufferable take on that series now as well.

Corrupt class traitor shows his true colors, every teamster should be voting this clown out.

Also this is on top of him challenging a Republican to a fist fight this year during a committee session where he and the Republican idiot had to be gaveled down by Bernie.

Absolute 🤡

It absolutely has a lot to do with Right wing/Republican propaganda, California, Chicago, and New York represent everything they hate so they constantly use both states and that city as negative talking points.

One point they constantly make is that New York City is a crime riddled hellhole, meanwhile NYC has one of the lowest crime rates in the entire country, and one of the lowest murder rates, it's just a massive city with a massive population and everyone there has cameras so when stuff happens it goes viral. Also the Red States tend to have much higher crime and murder rates.

All in all this is usual conservative/right wing tactics, they constantly want to isolate and segregate themselves from other ideas, and aren't afraid to take over where other people live to exclude the people already living there. This is why Idaho, Texas, Florida, and Utah have similar campaigns about "don't California my state" and by "California" they mean don't bring your "liberal/socialist/Communist/woke/progressive/democratic" outlook to their states, because they don't want to be responsible for cleaning up the racism and various other problems that the red states seem to have adopted as their identities.

Also I know quite a few conservative Californians and New Yorkers that recently moved to Texas and Florida, and as conservative as they thought they were they actually talk about moving back to where they came from because of how it is in their new states, except for the fact that they moved to the new states because they can afford so much more than what they could in California.

Overall my point is, if you consume right wing media then you are conditioned to hate blue states, and particularly those blue states are Cali, NY, and the city of Chicago as well as DC, I'm not saying these places are without flaws, but I am saying that the propaganda and disinformation about those places has amplified the hate towards those places and their residents.

You guys saying "well are they wrong?" Are missing the point, the lawyer is attempting to normalize school shootings, and he's trying to do this in order to let the school get away with not taking the appropriate steps to prevent this incident from happening.

Why tf do out of touch executives and managers always think that we want to make friends at work? I don't really care to know any of my coworkers, I just want to do my job in a professional manner, get paid well for it, and then either go home or close the laptop and leave my home office.

Also the only creativity that the office gives me is how to creatively get around the Internet restrictions they place on us, or how to creatively appear to be working when there's nothing to do.

If I wanted to make friends I'd go to a bar or something else that adults do together in groups, like bowling leagues.

Indictments don't count for shit without guilty verdicts and seeing the orange asshole behind bars, and I'm not even a doomer about this, I believe it'll happen, but claiming victory before winning is always folly, just ask Trump.

They didn't "Swarm" anything, they threatened the lady governor en masse under the cover of darkness like the pussies they usually are, maintaining that thin veneer of legality so that the governor can't go after them.

Now the Nazi punks are acting like they're the KKK to a sitting governor, time to start curb stomping some Nazis kids, before they come to curbstomp the rest of us.

Could be worse OP, could be a movie about the North Koreans successfully invading America, you know, North Korea, a country that barely has a navy and who's Air Force is mostly old Migs from several decades ago, a country who starts threatening their neighbors whenever their food supply runs low because their chubby leader eats too much while the rest of the country is at famine levels of hunger.

At least the original version of the movie was against the Russians while they were a super power.

So the town basically hired a gang of thugs to be their police while they extort travelers in their jurisdiction, sounds like a 70's or later action movie/show like Dukes of Hazzard, Billy Jack, or Rambo.

Hopefully the main character shows up and kicks all of their asses and we all get a happy ending. (Meanwhile in reality they will just keep getting away with it because of the way Texas is ran and qualified immunity)
