Evidence against your statement that she's smarter than them: She is an economist. They are politicians.

You should fight back like this:

Being an Information Security or Network Operations Center Analyst, or even a regular Network/Server admin is fiendishly difficult with Red/Green deficiency.

2% is 1 out of 50. 8% is 1 out of 12.5. That 6% spread might as well be the pacific ocean.

You should consider quality of life too. If you're living in or near to NYC, you should know that such experiences as you may be used to do not exist in the State of Mississippi. Only around 3 million people actually live in Mississippi, and the reason everything is so cheap is because nobody has any money. If you…

It's definitely more racist than my assertion that Canada's climate is cooler than the United States because of a regional tendency towards politeness.

I respectfully disagree.

There are penguins in South Africa, therefore it's factually incorrect and therefore racist.

If it had been "as hot as Saharan Africa" or "as hot as Ethiopia", not racist due to facts. Also, Canada's the same temperature as the US but they are more polite and therefore their emotional arguments don't heat up the…

I reject the idea that everyone is overworked, mostly because I know it isn't true. Some managers, believe it or not, are really great at managing the time of the people who work for them and ensure that their staff never become overburdened.

Clearly this advice is not for the overworked. Though, I've often found that employers expect full plates to magically get larger via the mysterious and undocumented process of "unpaid overtime" which is totally "optional".

I was going to say "I hate to be the douchebag that says this, but..." and then I remembered that I actually love being the douchebag that says this because I'm a terrible human being:

Don't forgive the loans if you're not going to make it illegal to take out and/or issue loans for the purpose of higher education.

The lifehack for this one is to always be a consultant. Then you can tell the client their policies are shit all day long and when they complain about it to your firm, the partner laughs at their face and bills them for the time it takes to stop being hilarious.

But how many female spiders are in spidermation technology?

A dog isn't as trivial as candy and you know it mate. If I steal your car and sell it to a 10 year old, is it going to be a dick move for you to want it back?

I know a lot of married men that would say it's telling the entire office who you aren't having sex with :p

Does it depend on the title rather than the work being performed, or does that pretty much go hand-in-hand? Also you can't choose to keep the old union?

How does that work, two unions representing different groups of workers for the same company?

And that's just your politicians.
