Bars are a different animal, I think, because there are like a thousand known cocktails that any reasonable bar will have the ingredients for, and unless it’s some incredibly weird bespoke thing, even a bar-exclusive cocktail is gonna use mostly standard ingredients. 

You’re completely missing the value and benefit of a secret menu. The biggest benefit (besides letting customers feel “cool” so they return) is the “standard” menu is simplified to keep the line moving. If all those things were on the regular menu, the already long lines at In-N-Out would be 5x a long because some rub…

...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

I maybe get the not being able to sue a co-worker, but seems like not being able to sue your employer for damages is suspect, and leaves employees unprotected

Why is it an awful idea? What about means testing would make this work better? I mean, I obviously disagree since I’m poking you but I’m at least ears for the argument.

Means testing to me is continuing to bracket a means-tested financial aid system that helped get students into this mess. I honestly could not care…

ahhhhh yes, here they come to means test the absolute shit out of it

You think talking to voters about, you know, ISSUES is “meaningless bullshit”?  I’m starting to understand why Democrats keep losing.

Gotta say, it is distressingly surprising how many people want to blame anyone but the single most poker full person on earth, who actively sought this job after decades being one of the most powerful politicians in America, and made promises to get that job that he is now breaking. It is young voters fault for not…

I mean they are actively working on Student Loans right now.

They’re the age group most likely to work wage-slave schedules that make something like primary voting difficult, and we are expecting many of them to plan and arrange to participate in primaries that are often their very first voting experiences of their lives. I don’t like spreading this “young people apathy”…

Look, Biden has been in the national game to know that’s part of the President’s job. The President’s Number 1 job is to drive the national political dialogue in directions even if it never works out for you personally. Does anyone in their right mind think we’d have ACA today if Clinton hadn’t tried (and failed!) 12…

I get your points. Biden does not have infinite power. He’s operating on a slim majority.

Great that your country’s two options are constantly degrading status quo and fascism.

So you bring a bill to the floor and force the other party to oppose it. Or you pressure your Congressional members to write a bill and threaten to primary those who won’t fall in line. You advocate. You stand for something. If you do that and fail, voters will blame the people who stopped you. If you refuse to even…

Could it also be that the President’s powers are also semi-vague and presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Trump found ways to get their agenda pushed through and at times deliberately bypassed Congress to do so?

There truly is political class of people who have no bigger dreams than maintaining the neo-con handshake that was made forty years ago between Democrats and Republicans. They truly think you should just be happy that your political party is in power.

More likely his approval rating is tanking because people fully understand the implications of the phrase “Bully Pulpit” despite it not appearing in any ‘official’ role of the President and see the President absolutely refusing to use it in any capacity.

I mean, he’s delivered on nothing. At all. My little sister was out when she saw the gemming and hawing on student loan forgiveness. Especially since the public service loan forgiveness program still denies damn near all applicants who worked at lower paying govt. jobs with the promise of student loan forgiveness.

I hear you, but I disagree. Modern Conservatism has become a parody of a political party, and its followers’ sole purpose seems to just be trolling people online and getting mad about headlines. I mean, look who they nominate for political office. It’s hard to portray modern Conservatism in any way that doesn’t come…

When was the last time you saw a white conservative character in real life that wasn’t a world-class jackass?
