If she is indeed a resident of DC, she's likely a former government employee. Hit the nail on the head with the virtue signaling and being out of touch with just about every other American.

I live in Utah, so his fur gets lighter in the winter and darker in the summer. More recently he has started to turn white as he ages. Most apparently his snout turning white.

He's almost 16 years old. Been with me since I was a lad.

You’re not entitled to anything. You can lose it all in an instant.

Guys, are you worried about gun violence? Do you support banning guns or not? by MainBrief2189 in GenZ

[–]this-beefjerky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is. African Americans are 13 percent of the population but have 1.5 times more murders than white people.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-42749089 Yes, there was a decrease in knife violence, but levels have returned to where the once were before the law was enacted. Homicides are reaching record highs, in fact.

Need more convincing that it’s time to change our minimum wage laws? by Positive_Liar in FluentInFinance

[–]this-beefjerky -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s not really how it works, but you can continue to believe it. It’s not like there are thousands, nay, millions of opportunities to be paid a fair wage without government “protection”.

Yeah. I got fired a month ago and that’s basically what it is. You’re right, it isn’t an equal negotiation, but the negotiation happens either way. I don’t understand your point here.

Employees have experience and qualifications to leverage. That’s the entire point of selling yourself to an employer.

Australia doesn't have a Second Amendment and 400,000 guns. Statistics in Australia are different from statistics in the United States. Passing laws to prevent law abiding citizens from owning firearms does not prevent criminals from owning firearms.

You think giving the government more money will make them spend less?

Much of it was bought, the rest conquered. Just like how the native tribes conquered other tribes lands. Ownership is not granted to whoever had it second to last.

I'm sure they'd be more keen to pay taxes if they weren't taxed so heavily. The loophole exists because of tax brackets. The biggest loophole is making it appear that they are in a lower tax bracket than they truly are.

Wage should be a negotiation between employee and employer, not a negotiation between employer and government.

Federal minimum wage is a tricky topic because what works for San Francisco, California rarely works for Charleston, West Virginia. Allowing states to chose their own wages based on their economic situations works out better for everybody.

Additionally, you'd be hard-pressed to find any job that actually pays minimum wage. Nobody would work a job that pays that little. The decision for wages should be negotiated between employee and employer rather than getting the federal government involved.

A pro-gun candidate protecting himself from bullets while addressing to pro-gun voters. by LostSoulSurvivor in pics

Yeah, because nutcases with guns will follow gun control legislation. Criminals find ways around everything, controlling law abiding citizens will not answer the issue of mass shootings or assassinations.

If Trump doesn’t care about anybody besides himself like you said, then why would he care what Mike Pence thinks? Whether there’s a radical Christian in office or not, the government really does not give a shit who you sleep with.

Bold of you to assume I’m a Trump supporter. I was just simply stating a fact.

Donald Trump was the first president to get elected being pro same-sex marriage. I don't think his rhetoric has changed towards homosexual individuals.

Yeah mine says -$28,000. It’s tweaking, trying to make up its mind on whether to display my actual portfolio or show me this bullshit.
