I don’t care if your title is “sheriff”, or if you call yourself “constitutional”. By seizing voting machines, you’re a petty tyrant who’s not enforcing any law but your own.

I remember seeing this commercial. I knew back then that it was horseshit.

"This is what happens when the government lets companies swallow the completion (the latest being Sprint). We have antitrust laws in the country that are being ignored and ultimately the consumer loses," a New York resident told the FCC.

YES. The government needs to stop rubber-stamping these enormous mergers.

This is obviously a good idea. I don’t want to complain or discourage it, but those 8 hours should include at least some customer-facing work. No fair hiding in the manager’s office or stockroom all day - which is not to suggest that working in the stockroom is easier. In many ways, it’s harder, but it does lack one crucial element of retail.

If they really want to “bridge the gap”, they need a firsthand understanding of the hell that is customer service.

I wouldn’t want to look at that while I was eating… SO I WOULD AVOID STARING AT HIM. Complaining about the guy is not the answer. Self control and respect are.

I would be completely astonished if this was legit. If you’ve already filled out the form, change you banking password and contact your bank immediately.

This needs to be very widely publicized.

I was pleasantly surprised by this sentence:

But I made it a point to explain [to my children] that while sometimes being homeless can be a result of not making good choices, sometimes it's a result of not having good choices.

It smacks of empathy, which is more than I expected. Whatever one may think of the author, she’s trying to teach her children to be better, and that counts for something.

This was just a silly joke that got WAY out of hand. The author isn’t even trying to claim it’s real. Getting defensive and angry is the worst possible way to respond - therefore, I hope they keep doing it.

I’m generally a proponent of equal treatment, but when some alt-right hate monger whines about not getting it, I have zero sympathy.

Definite green flag for the video. Red flag for the girl, because who the fuck asks about that?

I’d only accept a “dry promotion” to improve my resume. Then I’d quit.

She should definitely go for it.
