Waffle House adding a ยข50 surcharge per egg is another example of policy decisions creating undesirable outcomes that will be felt most heavily by working class individuals in the U.S. The oligarchy is oligarchy-ing. #neoliberalism

The intense focus on merit is ironic considering everyone preaching it is a nepo-baby.

The irony of the party of small government engaging in a huge display of federalism and over reach is not shocking. The circus is in town. #fortyseven

First day of class and there are a bunch of bikes on campus. Someone needs to tell the undergrads single speed/fixed gear bikes are not the way in a college town with hills.
