Depends on how the propaganda mill tells them to feel.

I must have gotten a defective one, then. My hand sucks at that.

It’s shocking you can fit so much blood on such a small area.

By this point, it’s clear that it’s foolishly optimistic to assume they’ll think of it in the next election, either. Fox News will spend the next year bleaching any memory of it from their brains.

Once again, I am not arguing the morality of what the administration did or what the employees should do in response. Only the practicality. The process for squeezing the government for a non-standard work arrangement will take months and probably involve legal battles. These people have lives to get back to.

Except when they get devastated by hurricanes made increasingly severe by climate change. Seriously, they’re an existential threat to Sentinelese civilization.

You are correct to think I’m not fun at parties.

Must be unnerving to know when you’re going to die, since retirement won’t really be a thing anymore.

Some of us are more baked, though.

I swallowed my misgivings and voted Democrat, just like I’ve done at each election since I turned 18, but handwaving away valid criticisms is not how you get people to side with you. Pressure needs to be put on the democrats to be better, too.
