I just finished The People vs. OJ Simpson this weekend (I’m late to the party, I know) and I was surprised at how much I didn’t know. Then I remembered that I was in 8th grade during this circus show and I cared more about cheerleading and Weezer than the details of some high profile murder case. That being said, it…

“pumped the breaks [on the matter] after Nida’s last name was misspelled on documents.”

People don’t realize that this is the opposite of how a gov’t is supposed to run. I don’t mean that it shouldn’t be responsible about spending, but it also has to be a lot of things to a lot of people.

It’s the myth of the Free Market at work. As usual. ‘The market will correct itself’, they say, and then pretend they have no idea just how that will happen. It will happen over the lives and livelihoods of people crushed by any little oopsies that require correction. The market does not give a fuck about human…

Yes, and also referring to the citizenry as “customers.” This attitude belies an absolute ignorance of what democracy is and what/how government works.

But a company is not run to do anything more than make a profit. A government has a much broader mandate. I don’t want my government run like a business. A business only reacts to the needs/wishes of the people when forced.

Yes. People who are all about “running government like a business” tend to ignore the fact that it was businessmen running business like a business who nearly took down the world economy in 2008, costing tens of millions of human souls their jobs, their homes, and their pensions, destabilizing the global economy and…

You want to see what happens when you “run the government like a business?” Look at the Flint water crisis. Snyder wanted to save a few millions dollars without factoring in the actual residents of the city...and now look at the millions-upon-millions of dollars they are on the hook for, now.

An anecdote of why you can’t run government like a business. As told by Jamie Vollmer:

Definitely. Because a company needs to serve its shareholders. A government needs to serve its voiceless and underrepresented. We can assign dollar values to this, but they will never work for the voiceless and underrepresented.

Putting everything aside, hatred of Trump, etc., this statement just bothers me to the core:

Look at them on their unicorn float and try not to smile!

Wear it. It’s all in the attitude (much needed when you have to strip naked every time you use the bathroom)!!

Aw, they look amazing.

It’s literally the most gorgeous wedding outfit for any person, I’ve ever seen and I hate jumpsuits.

For real, they are like, a couple of deer and an impromptu musical number away from being Disney Princesses.

Everything about the Kardashians’ “luxurious” lifestyle looks exhausting.

For some weird reason every time I hear name Tony Robbins, this comes to mind

Aww look at them - they are radiant. I feel like if a couple of bluebirds suddenly fluttered around them it would not be a surprise.

Dear god, they KILLED it with the wedding dresses. They both look completely angelic.
