“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” - Anatole France

That’s exactly how politicians treat anything labor/work-related.

Side note: the retirement age should be a decade earlier. Just because Johnny Politician can work well into his 90s at his white-collar job doesn’t mean that Jane Construction Worker can.

What’s the phrase?

I swear, so fucking many politicians, of ALL stripes, are so goddamn out of touch because the last time they voluntarily touched a computer was in the 90s (smartphones don’t count). The USA is effectively a gerontocracy at this point and it’s killing everyone under the retirement age.

And the ones who DO know how to navigate that are sidelined & dismissed by the old guard for “lack of decorum” and the sin of being young

The placement of the table and her hand momentarily made me think this was a hellish photoshop

Kinda like how you know the Pennsylvania “assassination attempt” was fake b/c he NEVER talks abt it. This is a man who holds grudges til he dies, HATES his enemies, and has no inner monologue and you’re telling me that he WOULDN’T be blaming the Dems 24/7?

Yeah, yeah, I should pay closer attention to my bank balance & online statement, but this is the absolute longest it had EVER taken to (attempt to) pull money from my bank.

Cosmic/eldritch *love*

But our perspective & Theirs is so fundamentally different & alien to each other (can you properly conceive of an ant’s thought process? Not “what if human, but ant?”, but an actual ant?) that the things we do don’t make sense to the other. They watch with curiosity & distant adoration.

Jesus christ. Looks like something that’d be used as inspo for an SCP.

Who the fuck is that terrifying living ventriloquist’s dummy in the 2nd pic?

Like, marriage should be a time of joy and celebration, not this gnawing feeling of necessity & desperation to protect our lives.

Absolutely. I don’t care if you’re wearing a costume or not. Just be prepared to show ID if you want booze and aren’t obviously of age.
