“Cause automation wasn’t a thing until fairly recently (in regards to history). Everything up to this point needed human labor.”

McCaskill certainly isn’t the greatest thing since sliced bread and canned soup, but any time you’d like to swap her for Pat Roberts, well, just say the word. Hell, it’s not like he actually lives in Kansas.

“If nothing in the media suits your fancy do not engage. Hell, produce the content that you want to see if it’s not out there.”

I wonder if they attempted to deal with Vistaprint about the problem and ran into the same sort of “customer service” that I recently encountered with Shutterfly - multiple repetitions of the same cut-and-paste non-response from call center employees that apparently exist mostly to try to wear down complainers until

We were *always* Christian Extremist America. Those Pilgrims that everyone loves so much came here specifically to found an exclusionary religious colony for a sect that was busy having a snit fit because they couldn’t force everyone in England to join their church.

You’re not exactly making an apples-to-apples to comparison there. Americans fighting for independence weren’t people being oppressed by an outside colonial force, they were PART OF the outside colonial force that decided they’d rather do their own oppressing, thanks.

What, exactly, do you propose they do if she simply refuses to acknowledge their questions? Should they storm the podium and waterboard her until she spills the beans?

There was nothing loaded about the question. A reporter asked a question that’s not only logical but probably downright predictable, SHS made a ridiculous defense that managed to also be insulting to, well, thousands upon thousands of people who had read the two posts. And then when the absolutely predictable

Ooh, baby, talk like that gets to me every time.

If you can’t write for a gay character in a show based on a real, live, honest-to-god gay man, then maybe you shouldn’t be working on that project at all.

Except we’re not just talking about a “char,” as you put it. We’re talking about a story that’s theoretically based on an actual human being.

Then I guess you’re probably going to think I’m being even more snarky to point out that oddly enough, not all businesses have expensive POS systems that require log-ins, or have multiple cash drawers to swap in and out, or so many employees that someone how time to count said drawers multiple times a day.

His being an asshole has nothing to do with socialism, sunshine.

I’d rather pay money to see that than to watch him fight.

And I’m just bitchy enough to admit that I’d enjoy seeing that.

I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense. Someone doing a lot of traveling might appreciate not having to stay in yet another hotel, even if they can easily afford it. Same thing probably would go for well-known players that want a break from fans.

That sounds good in theory, but maybe you should talk to some of those folks that were getting ready to retire on all that beautiful stock market money in 2008. Or to someone that became disabled decades before they would have retired.

So why isn’t it stealing when the rich guy takes my money and slogs it off into his account in the Caymans? After all, if the obscenely rich didn’t possess such an outsize portion of the wealth, maybe the rest of us could do things like buy our food, pay our rent, and invest for our retirement.

The sad part is that you actually believe that crap.

“That is why government should butt the F out of personal finances, let us keep our money to invest as we see fit.”
