  1. MAGA customer told me today that she fears we may be heading to recession “because Trump inherited such a bad economy and he’s only doing what he thinks is right for this nation, but it may be too late.” It takes so much energy to not tell her she’s a fucking moron.
  2. Well, username and all that.
  3. There is a way
  4. Or at least the perception of growth. The idea of growth. Theoretical growth if you just tweak the right dials. There’s a sucker born every minute. And gold in them thar hills.
  5. Because they think they can turn it around or at least make it attractive enough for the next PE. I’ve seen it in real time.

    Burgers

    Crown and Anchor imo (did I do that right?)
  7. Precisely why it is a horrifying model for medicine. Brisket said it upthread, but when you take quality of patient care out of the equation, what are we even doing?
  8. Exactly this. They are still motivated by short term gains and I would argue even more destructive than public corporations because as long as they get theirs in the timeframe they established, they fuck over everyone in their way.
  9. I would posit that mostly they try to run the “business” of medicine like any other for profit enterprise and it absolutely is not the same.
  10. This is the part I don't get. They act like people are being dragged off the street and forced to watch Clockwork Orange style. Seems like an easy solution to me.
  11. Cross-posting because it's relevant to the discussion: Listening to the PSA guys talk about how Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t with the shut down really drove home how fucked we might be. Basically, if he doesn’t give in, dotard gets to shut it down and maybe not reopen it for months, while him and Elon run roughshod over everything because in a shutdown the Executive basically runs it all. And if the Dems then came to the table to reopen, there’s no reason Rs would play ball. Because they just don’t care. If he gives in, as he did, it shows Rs and dotard that Dems don’t have the spine to stand up to them and save them from their own stupidity. So they have zero power in any capacity and the Rs will keep doing whatever they want with little to no consequence. We are living in a dictatorship of sorts already. This sucks.
  12. Should’ve been rung up on the batter before anyway. On we go.
  13. I don’t know how it works, but seems like we should probably be relieved of that command.
  14. It did not you psycho
  15. That’s actually the best description I’ve seen of people who lack empathy. Of which I’ve learned there are a FUCK TON of.
