This quote from Bill Burr highlights how cruelty from the wealthy towards the people who make them their wealth, is something that we accept, the status quo.

No raises this year.
No holiday bonuses!
We're laying off 20%
No dental insurance.

But executive bonuses are 8 figures.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

I have instructed @ilstatepolice.bsky.social to ensure we maintain public safety.

In today's dollars, the White House cost about $4.5 million to construct. How can the real estate mogul spend $200 million for a single room? He's laundering money, stealing from you or he is just stupid and lying again. It's a crock of shit that will cost about $2 million.

RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.
