Not Yours To Give

Hi baby, did you have a good day at work? No Dear, some of my political opponents don’t want to give $85 Billion to industry X. But not to worry I have the votes. How did your day go? Just a normal day, trading in our investment accounts. But your work for the people is more important than my day trading of a couple $100 K in our private accounts. You are sure you have the votes?

Technically they were working from home but large swathes of them manned offices that were closed, so what were they working on from home? If your job was to interface with the public in a government office and the office was closed and there was no plan or way for the public to interface with the government worker at his home…

I see this at the state level, and once the hysteria loosened up, a lot of these “workers” were furious they had to return to the office 3 days a week.

Suffered through an administration? Talk about partisan emotional dribble on display.

Well, to be perfectly fair, plenty of workers in the private sector furious that they had to take their lazy, entitled asses back to the office.

And for those of us that were “essential” and never stopped working, when do we get our extended taxpayer paid vacations?

I never stopped working and am proud to say I never got a dime of public stimulus money.

All my vacations are “working” vacations, to some extent. :smile:

From the link;

I prefer that we arrange our distributive institutions to achieve a fair distribution, not allow unfair distributions to happen…”

It’s what it always comes down to… :sunglasses: :tumbler_glass:

The only thing confused in that article is the writer himself. It is nothing more than a dressing up of socialist wealth redistribution.

LMFAO. What a relativist objection.

Matt Bruenig is a socialist, yes, but he breaks down the incoherence of that common objection to welfare.

Socialist god complex.
