My dad tells this story about his early days in one of his first jobs. He wanted to impress so he came in early and left late. His boss came to see him one day before leaving, and said: “Either you’re too slow to do the work, and you should leave - or I’m giving you too much work, and you should leave.” He got the…

Re: raw beef: it’s called steak tartare, and I have it like once a month.

Thanks for this, I was afraid I was going to be the only old fart with an unpopular hot take.

Well if he does that, he can finally brag that Mexico paid for the wall like he always (but also never) said!

why not just move it a few more hundred miles inland—say, to Wyoming or Idaho, or somewhere else with a lot of wide open space?

I find this timid approach simply unacceptable in the face of the crisis we’re facing. Guns for teachers? Screw that. Skip directly to claymore mines on all entrances and if that fails, rig the foundations with demo charges. That should give Republicans the biggest boner of all.

If only some other developed country had already done this so we can have some idea of what happens when it does, and if only a major central bank had studied its effects. Oh wait.

But as we said all along, this is not a surprise to us. It’s not a surprise to the mayor.

This after the Dems already took such a deal once, only to have Trump immediately screw them over. I mean if Chuck fucking Schumer can learn his lesson, how stupid to they have to be at the WaPo editorial board to still not get it?

I see people in the comments really going with the “private equity vampires bankrupting companies on purpose” nonsense so I’m gonna give you a 5-minute course on why that’s stupid.

Well at least now we know how much it costs to buy the US.

“Experts recommend that all these poor people stop living under bridges and instead move into luxury condos.”

“Stop milking it,” says the guy whose livelihood depends on his on-camera antics, to some rando.

How would you regulate it?

Perhaps someone should design a cushy, fortified, fully equipped airplane just for him, along with military escort, so that he may make the best use of his time during the long flight while maintaining his security.
