You don’t invite people to the Situation Room to try to bully them into removing their name from a discharge petition because you are innocent. Just saying.

I’ve been following the development of this game for a while and, if they can pull it off, it could be something special. Daybreak the board game also explores climate change and what we could do about it in interesting ways! PS please have a Mac version…

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
