Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Perry resigning He announced this months ago I feel. Also I wish there was still a republican senator who forced jimmy carter to give up his peanut farm. Did anyone ever ask hatch before he stopped answering questions?

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Perry resigning on one hand this is like the fifth time this story has 'broke' but on the other this is the first time it was phrased as Perry turning in his resignation and not just 'he'll probably leave' so this could be legit. RIP Rickolas, somehow you were one of the least corrupt and lovely guys, you still suck though

mod sassinator posted:They got rich in the first dot com bubble and early 00's boom and money destroyed their minds. Like literally that whole generation went from screaming about the world is watching while throwing tear gas cans at police in Seattle in 1998, to spending hours configuring their Tesla P100D juuuuust right after getting a $200k bonus stock award from their job at Google. Yep and before the tech boom, the common wisdom was that we could never get jobs or compete with boomers. Basically we were braced for exactly what happened to the generation behind us, and lucked out.

The first time you poo poo yourself on stage, it sounds like a dumb excuse when you say you did it on purpose. When you keep making GBS threads yourself on stage, over and over, to the point that people are passing out from the odor, it starts looking intentional after all.

Prester Jane posted:Gore, Kerey, and Hillary all ran as triangulating centrists. How'd that work out for them? I would argue it's not even centrist policy or naked triangulation that sunk them, although that certainly didn't help. The fact is, none of those people could connect or relate to regular people in a way that seemed even slightly genuine. Al Gore lived in a hotel for ten years, Hillary hasn't driven herself in a car since the 1980s, etc. The connection just isn't there, and attempts to manufacture it fell incredibly flat.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Because they got some money while things were getting better and now don't give a gently caress that things are getting worse. It's pretty much this. We've not been throat-stomped by bad policy like the Millennials, so on the balance we're more "centrist" which in America means right-leaning. If you managed to establish and build your career before the great financial meltdown then you're probably doing OK now.

Flapjack Monty posted:I mean, I expect by default that anyone I'll interact with that has some kind of leadership role to be massively incompetent at best and more typically actively malicious, but it's not something I desire in a leader. So... eh, I guess you're right, regardless. I would argue that you've only ever experienced managers, and managers are distinctly different from leaders. Management is about being in charge of apportioning labor needs, leadership is about uniting people in accomplishing a common goal. These are radically different skill-sets- completely unrelated to each pther in all honesty.

It also contributed to me quitting because actually caring about your employees makes it really loving miserable when you are ordered to fire them

America really had two hated, out of touch rich people to choose from in 2016 and yeah, they picked the racist one who stomped out the dogwhistle for good. I don't think y'all are really disagreeing here, you're both right.

1glitch0 posted:More like the backstage report a few hours before Nitro that there was a tiger in a cage in the back that almost bit someone and no one knew why the tiger was there. The tiger never appeared on the show. But wrestlers were just grabbing mics and going out to cut random promos on live tv because a script had not been created. Just complete chaos. Nah, Steiner brought the tiger out on camera and it almost bit Mysterio backstage.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Lordstown is still going to close though so it's it's the majority of the UAW making money while leaving others behind. And in the case of Lordstown, leaving behind an area that has already been hit hard by the decline of American manufacturing. But GM knew what it was doing. They are willing to sacrifice paying the workforce more because they know that they’re still slowly chipping away at the UAW’s power by shifting more and more jobs overseas.

cargo cult posted:young white males especially gen Z still break pretty hard for the GOP If you grade that lovely group on a curve, his demographic doom is still there. Compare young white males to old white males. If in a given red small county Trump loses 1,000 MAGA Chuds in 2019 to the reaper and 600 young MAGA CHUDS register to vote and the population remains the same, he still lost ground demographically. Its not enough for him to keep his 2016 vote (he wont), he has to do BETTER or depress the Dems MORE (lol, no)
