Blessed by the algorithm again, Someone posted this a couple weeks ago but its too good not to post again.

What has been sold, not strictly made of stone

Just remember that it's flesh and bone

My head is a box filled with nothing - and that's the way I like it

tell me what you're here for my friend

we're up against the day

edit: looks like they're having some issues keeping the stream going - hopefully it comes back on soon

Yes, we all know the media class is awful, and this isn't anything particularly new - but the reporting around the price gouging proposal is some of the worst I have ever seen. NYT, CNN all completely blowing the proportions of what the bill does completely out of the water.

The proposal would not affect the current record high grocery prices at all - it only prevents gouging during or immediately after a national disaster. So if there were another nation wide pandemic - the proposal would come into play.

37/50 states or something like that already have similar laws on the book - and yet you have economists out here acting like this will single highhandedly tank the economy, when it isn't likely to affect anything very much in our entire lifetimes.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills from both ends. The bill itsself is basically a nothing burger and I was really disappointed when I looked into it - the media's response to it makes zero sense except in the context of class war for class war's sake.

I kinda feel like Kamala's team are purposefully announcing policies that sound progressive but don't actually do anything on purpose. I hate this shit. I hate the media. I hate dems.

Voting for Copmala is officially a good bit. I don't like it any more than you do.

Already given him important advice such as:

If you ever want a break just ask your co-workers what harry potter house they are - libs love that shit 20 minute break easy.

and

If you're going to quit / get fired just start telling callers you're taking donations to get Bill Clinton's name removed from the Epstein flight logs.

Open to other helpful suggestions

Edit: His description of his supervisor is hilarious but I dunno how much I can share. Apparently they got a Glengary Glen Ross style motivational speech today. This is the best thing to happen to me in a while

best part is at 37 seconds when even the stoic synthesizer guy has to give it up to the horns

It started as a joyride
Just a way to let off steam
But now we're running off the road
'Cause you're asleep at the wheel

Which way do you choose?
'Cause right now I choose you
Do you still think of me fondly?
Do you still think of me?

I'm tryna broach the distance
That's growing in our lives
From the night until the morning
Like we're on different drugs

Did I say too much?
Did I take too much?
The temptation to vacate
Seduces us
