We dunno, the image just came to mind All the senior managers in the State Department suddenly resigned Wednesday, which seems like it might be a bit of a concern, maybe. There's some disagreement at the moment exactly what happened; the Washington Post reports the most senior official to leave, undersecretary for management Patrick Kennedy, had been hoping to stay on under the new administration, but an
embassies? we don't need no stinkin embassies! dumpy is all we need. except for weekends. and when he opens a new business(which is totes allowed, dumpy said so.) or when he needs to tweet about how SNL is a not funny show. them furriners will just have to wait till monday.
okay, but where do you live? because it's damn hard to get around where I live without a car. I'm not talking slightly inconvenient. If i wanted to take a bus to work I'd have to take three buses and it would take more than an hour. With a car it's about 15 minutes, during rush hour.
So, I would say that people taking Uber do give a shit but don't have a lot of options. I've only used it twice and honestly can't speak much one way or the other. But I don't think you understand how much demand there is for service that cabs don't provide.
I absolutely agree on treating workers fairly and I have argued against Uber previously mostly because I know they're not regulated so.
I will say this: right now you remind me of a vegan who hates anybody who's ever eaten an egg. That is to say you're yelling without making a point, without trying to convince people. I don't disagree with you, but you're attacking quite strongly without providing actual evidence. I know more Uber drivers than Uber users and they all like doing it, but as I say - I am suspicious about the program and think that deregulation is dangerous. So I'm inclined to agree with you, but you're not providing reasons to do so and are attacking undecided people the way vegans attack vegetarians, the way atheists attack agnostics and humanists.
In other words, cut it out. let's find common ground.I think you would be more convincing if you would provide details instead of simply lashing out.
Sarandon or Goodman? Either way, they're both in the "dead to me" category". Sarandon is just a celebrity who has only done harm and Goodman is somebody who was a decent voice for the left back in the bush years but betrayed us by not helping to prevent the shitstorm we're dealing with now.
Not sure if someone said this, but before he went to CNN, Jim Sciutto worked at the US Embassy in Beijing as a special adviser to Ambassador Locke (former commerce secretary and governor of Washington). Let's just say he didn't get along well with the career diplomats. Not entirely surprised he'd be the one tweeting about firings...
That's the new Alternative Math to go with Alternative facts. I'm really going to go with the advice of a Wonketteer the other day - You can't day drink unless you start in the morning.
I think you're underestimating the extent to which convenience rules the Uber rider. The vast majority of their business is in CITIES where there are plenty of other options. So how about YOU stop defending selfishness and greed? Because if you think I'm ever going to approve of companies whose SOLE PURPOSE is to make some assholes filthy rich on the backs of people just trying to scratch out a living, and make it by ripping them off and grinding them into the dirt, you've got ANOTHER THINK COMING BUSTER.
as i've said, i've used uber twice and only when it was hard to find other options. i was trying to have a civil conversation about these services and how they point to a need in the suburbs which is not met by other options while acknowledging that in cities, it's better to use traditional services.
so ... please listen instead of attacking. I am open to conversation and you're not going to convince me or anyone else by simply yelling.
Now, NowDonnie is like a really smart guy, right? I mean just ask him...He will tell you that Nobody, and He means Nobody, knows how to do bid-ness as good as Donnie does...
Now even though the dishonest media will blow this all out of proportion and say that Donnie might be trying to change the role of the state department and does not want any of those experienced, knowledgeable, senior staff members trying to brain wash T-Rex into believing that he's supposed to be even remotely concerned about warm fuzzy humanitarian nonsense......
This was just Donnie doing what's best for America... because Donnie has a big heart, an unbelievably yoooooge gold plated heart... that actually proves that he is like a total philanthropist... Cuz the DJT Scam-dation paid tens -- maybe hundreds.. definitely it was hundreds-- of thousands of dollars for it at a charity event ... all the big donors are still talking about it...
anyway, Any really smart person knows that 15 separate departments is like sooooo stupid, Donnie is sooo right, right?So this was just like a really extraordinarily smart bid-ness move... because now every thing is going to be so bigly big league streamlined and efficient, every one will be amazed and be like "oh how did you do it? You are like the smartest president ever"
So very -- very soon, like any day now, Donnie will autograph an Executive Order to get rid of all those stupid individual money wasting departments and order that they be replaced with... this is like the very bestest idea ever-- an unbelievably smart way to handle stuff... it will be amazing.. Just 2 departments... two... not 15.. not 10...but 2...only 2...* Domestic Exploitation & Intimidation (America First!)* Global Exploitation & Intimidation
That's exactly what happened in Wisconsin under Scott Walker. When he destroyed the public employee unions, just about everyone who could took early retirement, especially teachers. The way the wind was blowing it seemed best to lock in or cash out their pensions. Now we have a teacher recruitment problem from top to bottom.
Let's peer into our Crystal ball and view our foreign policy initiatives:
- piss off NATO- piss off the Palestinians and their supporters- give Russia support in Syria, then Iraq, then ....- eliminate sanctions of Russia- threaten Iran- threaten China- threaten Mexico- tell refugees to fuck off- tell Muslims to fuck off- announce a strategic alliance with Russia- nationalize the oil industry, in Iraq- abrogate NAFTA - impose import tariffs- increase import tariffs- Recall most ambassadors- replace most ambassadors

Rachel Maddow just reported that one DoS official was en route to a Climate Change summit when his plane was ORDERED BACK so they could fire him

Yup.

They'll do nothing. That'll be left to the rest of us!
I'm going to have to resist the urge to quote from "Apocalypse Now."
Apparently I'm still in fucking Saigon.
Darkness At Noon libelz!
