I am sorry to hear that and I hope your wife is doing better!

Re: chosen by God.

The mental gymnastic excuse the MAGAts use to not care about this is because “Trump is just being a good businessman by making all his goods overseas” which opens up a whole other excuses like “he wasn’t president when he started selling the products” etc.

This is an entirely irrational response to my assertion that people don’t read.

Exactly. Trump is saying that it’s a good job that there were no people in the thing which cannot carry people

Yep, and people can also use a vacation day to create a 3-day weekend, or turn a 3-day weekend into a 4-day weekend.

I see your point.   I think the thing that I’ve wondered about is my old neighbors.  Out of that dozen or so RVs I saw.. I don’t remember any of them missing during weekends or the like.   A lot seemed to be garage queens, which REALLY doesn’t make sense for something that likely costs $50k even used.

I know you’re not receptive to facts, but since you’re ungreyed I’ll put this out there so the more reasonable population can remember.

Right, it is an extremely bizarre hill to die on, arguing that something that is extremely common either doesn’t exist or is illegal. There are several federal regulators that have regular full-time workers who are contractors, because of budget or other reasons. I know several of them, some of which have had the…

I think the problem is that people don’t understand that the reason people hire receptionists as employees instead of contractors is that more receptionists want to be employees, so if you don’t offer them employment they will work for someone who does. Instead they think there is some magical requirement that the…

This is the only correct take. 

You are missing the relevant actors in the “price fixing.” It has to be competitors, which are people or businesses offering the same or similar products in the same market. The fact that independent contractors independently agree to a price set by someone else is not price fixing. It is a market transaction and…

Setting a price for your product or service is not “price fixing,” which I understand you to be using as a pejorative or as a legal offense.  That kind of price fixing is when competitors agree on prices they will charge.

This is a confession. Impeach him.

That was some good kinja

Oh man, that was a relatively benign exchange on your part to have gotten the banhammer for. FWIW, I agree with you on the hash brown take. I’ve never seen hash browns stand up like that. There’s crispy and then there’s burnt into a potato cracker. That picture was of the latter. 

Oh yeah, that was a good one. 

I’m so glad that Libby was able to take a non-gender-specific slam and squeeze some anti-feminism from it.

Hey, remember how they un-followed every single commenter on Splinter days after Libby got owned into a black hole for that post, then claimed it was a move to “combat trolls” that they’d been planning all along? Remember how the amount of trolling actually increased exponentially, with incredibly obvious MAGA…
