This is where I get lost too: I can this how this benefits the people in power short-term (keeping the crowd in the dark, pass more laws to deregulate, suck the incentives to their own profit), but...
These people are not going to live forever: Donald Trump is 70 years old, DeVos is 59... How are they not seeing that…

Remember, this is the President that says once he kicks the immigrants out all the coal mining and manufacturing jobs will come back. You know, the ones that are going to be so great once all the unions are gone.

I don’t think Trump or any of the blue collar people that voted for him realize that America is too technologically advanced for manufacturing jobs to be the backbone of our economy anymore. I’m from Michigan and people here are still struggling to grasp the fact that as technology progresses, working on an assembly…

Meanwhile you giggle as you take dives into your ever-growing money pool!

Fun fact, Due to the fact that it would never top that moment, it’s entire purpose in existance fulfilled, the guitar simply ceased to be after Prince tossed it.

“This is the sort of thing that haunts a city for a long, long time. And it should!”

This was pitch perfect. I’m pretty sure the real Spicer would love a podium he could pick up and beat people with.
