The WHO is going to rename Monkeypox because they're worried about racism surrounding the virus.
It's unbelievable that the world just keeps sinking lower and lower. Who in the hell thinks about racist shit when they see Monkeypox?
First they were having conniption fits over any potential negativity towards gay men...now it's about racism?
What's next....will the virus identify as non-binary?
I can’t believe this stuff bothers you…who cares? Let these people waste their own time…
There are plenty of people in this country that want to blame immigrants for everything bad that happens. It’s not a far stretch to me that they’ll blame this on them too.

Good employees do get poached. Are they offering incentive bonuses? They’re doing that here but it’s not really helping. Fast food places are the hardest hit right now.
I don’t know…I’m not in the fast food industry to be clear…there is a ‘fast food’ type mentality coming to healthcare….
It’ll be one of those situations where it looks greener on the other side of the fence…then all the things they were promised will magically disappear…but by then it’s too late…
I pay my people over industry standard…

Another thing…i had to fire/demote 5 people in the past few weeks…they were literally doing nothing…and when called out didn’t care….and gave no fucks about being let go…
Costing me clients, being negligent, sometimes just not showing up…these are people I’ve had for years. Wtf is going on?

I tried to go to two places today for lunch…both were incomprehensibly closed.
I don’t know what’s going on…but it appears to be happening rapidly.
Where the fuck are the Dems right now?!

I 100% believe that! I’m sure he would, but so would Joe.
I can understand why SG would like him, but even he would pick DeSantis over Trump. Ron is a politician who likes to throw red meat. I don’t like him. He’s really no different than any other conservative.
I’m still holding out hope for Kobluchar or Dan Crenshaw.
I think we can all agree Mike Pence has zero chance.
It’s unfortunate Pence has no chance…somehow during all this I’ve gained respect for him.
DeSantis would beat Joe…and he should…i can’t believe how far Biden has allowed this all to go…
No one wants to hear about how congress is impeding his agenda…
My guess is a lot will happen in the 3 months leading up to midterms…a lot of stuff that should’ve already happened…some watered down version of build back better…and it’ll be so see through that it won’t move the needle much. Student loans will be addressed half heartedly…a lot of stupid giveaways.
I don’t buy into the dementia shit…never have…and if trump runs again he’ll be older than Biden when he ran in 2020. Being an octogenarian is apparently a prerequisite to winning these days.
He was elected to be a Centrist…except he’s gotten nothing done.

Trump was not a dictator
He wanted to be tho…

I voted for Kasich in 2016 but now he is out of touch and too soft. Last time he was on Maher it didn’t go to well for him.
Ron DeSantis is a total badass. Would love to see him win it all.
It seems like you love candidates that a more authoritarian…those that love to abuse power and ignore what state and local officials want….
DeSantis and Trump will destroy each other…it’ll be fun to watch someone give Trump what he so willingly dishes out.
Neither are fit to govern bc they can’t get congress to do anything. Both have long patterns of just doing whatever the hell they want.
I think you must be very attracted to dictators.
#179 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 169 weeks ago
The candidates on both sides are going to be mediocre.
I wish Kasich could somehow pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'll take him over Desantis any day of the week. He's getting old too. Unfortunately I think his window closed.
I was ready to vote for Kasich. Not that it would have mattered in my state…
I will not vote for a republican until Trump is expunged.

I agreed with you and you tried to turn it into an argument just so you can be a miserable, pissy discontent.
School and soft target security, gun regulations, and strengthening red flag laws was not an expression of outrage. We don’t stay on a topic because of you and your behavior. See the example just above.
What did you agree with?
Do you agree those cops were fucking pussies and actually hindered the situation?
