lol, lmao, rofl

i feel like 155% tax rate for billionaires, 155mm for autocrats abroad is just going to be the 2028 platform now

I do not think the fact that Mills has already beaten a Republican in a statewide election is evidence against the viability of her candidacy if I’m being honest

Hopefully they will be driven into the cities where they can be civilized

What do you think a social climber is?

Like if “running for office” and “joining the military” make him an evil social climber I’m not sure what role McKinsey is playing here

?

What society is he climbing specifically in South Bend

Yes?

Like my man, I went to a very elite law school and I am familiar with the type, and they were in law school with me not running for Mayor of Mayberry

And by “politics” we mean “runs for office in a small Midwestern city” rather than “Hill staffer” or something

The thing you get from a guy working at McKinsey for 2 years right out of college, taking a sabbatical during that to work on a long shot state gubernatorial campaign, and then leaving to run for Indiana state treasurer is that he’s a social climber?

Your average classmate thinks that doing 2 years at McKinsey right out of college is more revealing of character than either joining the military during wartime or leaving McKinsey to get into small-town politics?

Again, why isn’t “things Buttigieg actually did” the relevant inquiry?

Like if your position is just “all business strategy is ontologically evil” then fair enough

I guess I’m a bit confused about why why you would rely on second-hand impressions from classmates in an industry rather than like looking at the actual specific projects he did

And how have you arrived at that theory?

Ok, and when Buttigieg was an entry level consultant working on a project for an environmental nonprofit in California, what sin was he eating for who by making PowerPoints?

What do you think McKinsey is?

What is the crime an entry level management consultant commits for which I am using PowerPoint as a euphemism?

Come the fuck on

?

fwiw I don't know what's really in Graham Platner's heart, that side of his chest hasn't come up as much

Cool

Buddy

My initial reaction was “it’s not his job to hold the damn bridge up!”

Ok I’m following lol

Damn you must be a real political radical

How do you see that relating to his tenure at DOT?

That doesn’t answer my question
