That’s nowhere near enough space! You’re going to need SEVERAL square yards!

Tbf, a pun-based show with gratuitous fourth wall breaking is the kind of desperate I would actually love 😁

Bad muzak I can handle. It’s when they interrupt it every ten seconds to remind you that there’s still the same number of people ahead of you that really gets my goat. And I need that goat!

Yeah because slogans always tell the whole story and middle eastern politics never mixes with religion 🙄

Also, even if it IS a group of religious nuts, does that make ALL of them terrorists?

So much fucking stereotyping!

Houthis are a mostly political movement and the de facto government of the most populous parts of Yemen.

Saying “our action targets the Houthis and not the people of Yemen” is straight nonsense deliberately designed to paint the chosen government of most of the Yemeni people as identical to small groups of terrorists within the large movement.

It’s straight out of the Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld playbook of manufacturing consent for war crimes.

I hope it’s not the left one. I only had enough shaving cream left this morning to do the other two.

Nah, that was SENATOR Mullin on the senate floor having to be talked down by Bernie

Says a lot about the political climate that not only were you able to ever forget about something so bizarre, but it’s actually completely understandable!

Good point!

Your mom’s nonsensical.

Everyone except dumbasses with no critical thinking skills understands that in order to pay people a living wage, prices have to adjust accordingly

Except not really. Businesses have much wider profit margins than they pretend to.

For example, in Denmark the McDonald’s entry-level wage is the equivalent of $22 and a Big Mac costs LESS than in most of the US.

If McDonald’s couldn’t make a profit doing that, they’d simply stop doing business in Denmark. They don’t.

Restaurants run on thin margins.

Not anywhere near as thin as you think. The official numbers are AFTER artificially deflating their profits for tax avoidance reasons.

he gives up every penny of that to make payroll.

Ridiculously unrealistic.

An employee pocketing $20 probably costs his employer $40

What have you been smoking?? In the real world, workers produce a hell of a lot more value than they’re given in return. That’s how companies profit.

he’s trying to tighten up, keep those people on the payroll.

No, he’s trying to recoup the profits lost from paying his workers a living wage by making it less livable for them. He’s protecting his profits, not workers.

And gets demonized for it.

And rightly so. He’s acting like the put upon victim when in reality he’s complaining about having to pull other exploitation levers now that one is fixed at a lower setting.

I agree, but must say I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t use the time a GOP candidate literally body slammed a reporter and STILL got elected as your example of someone actually getting slammed…

Yup. I’ve mentioned it a couple of times, but most people seem to think or at least pretend that the Houthi terrorists came out of nowhere for no reason and suggesting otherwise gets you downvoted a lot.

You’re discounting the many actual communists that are also actual idiots.

Idiots who truly believe in communism, but also think that the fascist Russian government and the equally repressive Chinese one are that.

Once again proving the old adage that every accusation from the fascists is a confession, in Russia too.

All I can tell you is that this isn’t you.

Actually, European fascism started in the early 20s the first time around too, with the Italian National Fascist Party founded in November 1921 and Mussolini becoming Prime minister a little under a year later.

I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine this time around, though! 😬

It’s what plants crave!
