The flip side of that is that McDaniel has no backbone, so put her into a milieu where she has intelligent people around her saying truths and proving it about Republicans and their “leader” and she will switch sides immediately being desirous of being with the in crowd…and all of that for just $300k
Yep. I worked for a corporation once with all these MBA yahoos who could not run any business worth a damn. On my resigning interview with said bunch of morons, I told them that what they were doing would never succeed. Sure enough 6 months later the whole house of cards collapsed.

Curiously, I first heard of Semana Santa a couple of days ago as well, having recently bought a house in Mexico. I like it!

I once worked with one of these dipshit MBAs (from one of the real bullshit factories, where you can miss 2/3 of your classes and still get the degree, anyway I digress) and he was going on about cutting overhead like salaries, how critical that is to a business. I asked him, so if the ideal state of every business is to essentially eliminate overhead like salaries, what happens if every business succeeds in that? If no one’s getting paid, where will any business find customers? Doesn’t that success wipe out an economy? He goggled at me for a while, I am certain convinced that “I didn’t get it.” Meanwhile, asshat is peddling a MLM scam that can never work and is too fucking stupid and arrogant to know it.

It is like the “business model” of the airlines: Treat your paying customers like cattle, scrimp on aircraft maintinence, and expect people ( like me) to want your service. Same with my (once) local newspaper; Fire all the reporters so that there is no local news being reported anymore, and then wonder why we cancelled our subscription. I could really give a shit what USA today is on about. I need to know what my Town Council is doing.

Whether real or not, the hair makes it believable. At that age, people are trying out making their own decisions (as they should) and their hair is something they can use to express themselves. It is also why the hairstyles in yearbooks are so ridiculous.
I come here t look at posts about Ronna X and find a bunch of posts about sewage and toxic waste.
Very good. Carry on.

That’s the problem, or not, with minds that digress into rabbit holes. I’ve always been attracted to “How does it work?” books. When I’m not studying Homer or Sappho or Sophocles.
“Supreme Court hears its biggest abortion case since the fall of Roe“
My first thought was “Well, that’s a bit over the top” (having misread Roe as Rome.)

I take your point but again the term reactionary has a history. It is associated with actual positions taken by real political actors. Not that I lose sleep over genuine reactionaries being misrepresented but in a world of strictly transactional policy making, particularly when the drongos have a fondness for cloaking themselves as revolutionaries of some sort, anything goes.
