Attending: For the last time please stop calling it that.

Attending: Hey you missed an aneurysm on that CTA

Me: Oh my bad — must have been subtle

The CTA:

Important reminder: initiatives like subsidized public transit and safety net programs are not “free stuff.” They are benefits received in exchange for tax dollars, which is literally the purpose of government.

Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of impropriety when he became President. Truly the most decent man to ever hold the office. May we be lucky enough to have another leader like him in our future.
