in other words, this is a reason for the workers to unionize.

puritans. you know the people so uptight that the english told them to get the fuck out (or rather they left to practice their uber conservative religion without consequences from the rest of the people).

for whatever reason to our extreme detriment the super conservative religions grow in this country and we've all (in general) been taught to not call that oppressive lifestyle out to be polite. it explains why evangelical christianity isn't really much of a thing outside this country.

how many people are going to blame trump for that when it happens?

I never had any issues finding toilet paper when I went to the store when I needed to get more. and things got better when stores started enforcing limits.

the party wins by following a simple 2 point plan:

  1. actually listen to your base.
  2. fire the democratic consultants who have led you all down disastrous results for 2 cycles.

I don't think it's a coincidence that democrats in special elections way overperform than in general elections lately.

that's funny. as far as the government is concerned if you aren't in a specialized position and are just doing a job you're just an irrelevant face in the crowd who doesn't matter. your positions were going to be the first to be slashed outright. and he told y'all that. and you voted for him anyway.

my concepts of sympathy for you.

I am so glad I got transplanted last may because I think dialysis for 4 years might be preferable to receiving any kind of really serious medical procedures while this clown show is in charge.

i don't think there's anything more pathetic than a self-hating member of a minority. log cabin republicans support the very people who would see them tortured, mentally abused, or even better dead.

just because you may be an lgbt doesn't mean that you are part of the community. skinfolk ain't necessarily kinfolk.

it's not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,

i'd like to think most of us saw all of the pride/dei public promotion as virtue signaling (and being honest i was **not **one of those people). but now i hope all of those corporations get all the backlash. not because they were pulling back on all of that but because they were using the very public symbolism as a marketing opportunity and nothing else. it gives the impression that they never had implemented any of those practices or believed in people being who they are in the first place and that's worse. i would not shop at those places just for these places using very public movements as an "US TOO!" crass commercial opportunity. end stage capitalism in practice, and now watch as these same corporations cry poverty and some sort of activist interference because the free market is reacting to their actions.
