Union for teachers who are paid by the taxpayers. Teachers are taxpayers. Ergo, they unionized against themselves and their community. That's a big brain take right there.

But Joe "Touchy" Biden is the most "religiously observant President in 50 years!"

He's so much better at religion than you. You don't get to post bible quotes. /s

Imagine how much tastier that Wagyu beef will be when they know that only the "correct" people can eat it! Not like now where any peasant can roll up to Costco and buy some.

Now go and eat your canned maggots. Enjoyment is optional unless we make it mandatory.

Humor is essential. The new Overlords want subservience; what they really fear is mockery.

In a way, it’s to prevent lip reading.

That's a fascinating idea. Hadn't considered that before.

Imagine two World Wars and the lives lost in the name of "freeing" those countries, just so they could import slaves to make crap.

Just moving in those social circles (NYC), it would be an absolute bonus to not drink or do drugs, especially if you're a good listener. Everybody freely talks when they're loaded.

I'm in that age range and I'll tell you what the problem is...Media. Television, mostly. It was a big part of my generation's lifestyle. We didn't have TV when I was small (money issues, etc) and by the time we did, I was old enough to really dislike things like laugh tracks and all the annoying commercials. The majority of my peers? They sat down in front of that box for hours every night and let it tell them everything. And they still do.

Directive 10-289! Just re-read the book over the summer and was amazed again at how prescient Rand was.

They deserve a Tony award for fastest taught choreographed dance routines

This is what bugged me right from the start. A bunch of nurses getting together and maybe singing some sort of pop song as a "morale booster"? Sure, I guess that could happen. But supposedly overworked nurses having enough time to put together a dance routine AND teach it to others? Nah. Not buying it.

My first thought as well. "Other people who obviously support vote fraud won't like me anymore! Oh noes!"

And did they get the money back? Or did they just toss that $10.5mil purchase in the trash and order more??

Why am I asking? We all know what happened.

Exactly! Look at what just happened with that 5000+ page Bill. There might be a few dedicated people out there who could roar through the entirety of it in a couple of days but how much easier was it to let the Internet at it? So much info put out to the people, in easy-to-understand terms in just 2-3 days.

I've noticed a lot more "Russia Russia Russia!!" in various places online today. Someone's getting paid well to push that line of thought.
