PSA: If you think your business plan is failing due to taxes, regulation and/or payroll, maybe the problem is with your business plan, and not the taxes, regulation and/or payroll.

Playing that "I post-dated payroll, plz don't cash 'til Monday" game? Gaming the system is not a business plan.

We are learning in real time how "Your FIRED!" is not in any way an effective business model, and it never has been:

"The beatings will continue until morale improves..."

Tomahawks? And here I thought Hellfires were enough ordinance to give lie to the entire 2A movement?

You pea shooters are not going to cut it against Tomahawks.

Governor, with all due respect, here's how this works: Trump will find three "soybean farmers" (straight outta casting), and the MSM will lap it up, because that's how they roll. It's "Democrat (sic) policies" that have soybean farmers on the ropes, dontchaknow.

Added bonus that it's Jina's fault.

Ok as any traitor to their country will be.

If your business model is resulting in a struggle to make payroll and pay taxes, maybe the problem is your business model, and not payroll and taxes?

Kirk was literally a drop out, cosplaying a college student. Being paid $8M to do so, by Peter Theil, because he looked the part of a college student. For the clicks(tm)!

Kristol might have been a shithead but he wasn't perving coeds on college campuses. Pizzagate was a confession, folks.

"Thou protest too much" writ large.

The entire nation memory-holed that he grew his ear back nearly overnight, and his answer for that? "I heal fast."

Anything you say, President Cankles.

No apologies required for The Lancet, which brought us the anti-vax movement. Because how many years is required before they retract outright bullshit?

12 years. That is, indeed, "prestigious".

If you are pissing on the left, you are pissing in the wrong direction.

We are ruled by traitors, but Obama failed the country with his "tan suit", Hillary "cackles", Biden's "gettin' old", and Kamala? Don't get me started.

Suffice to say, VP's are intended to be successors to the Presidency.

This is how technology rots your brain, and not just the so-called generative AI.

Big Tech has for decades promised digital utopias in order to get you to buy their products as indispensable. It's nothing but a crutch.

Those "make your life easier(tm)" products are all about cutting labor costs.

This is SO weird.

I can't stop obsessing over Karoline Leavitt's lips, because they look like worms. Worm lips saying dead things.

Real genius there, when you consider the "invisible hand of the free market(tm)" is what got us here in the first place.

The U.S. doesn't have a rare earths reserve because industry allowed China to corner the market, the good ole' fashioned way: by buying up rare earths reserves around the world.

What a great country! And to think that this glorious moment would not have arrived, if not for Dear Leader.

What, Russia wouldn't pay your price? I guess they REALLY like those pee and/or sex tapes?

It is telling that "goodly works", allegedly a cornerstone of Christianity, is nowhere to be found here.

Donold took all the wrong lessons from Willy Wonka, didn't he? Someone recently said AG Blondi reminds them of Veruca Salt?

They are ALL Veruca Salt: "I WANT IT NOWWWW!!!11!!!1!!!"

Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Criticizes National Guard Deployment in Chicago

Gov. Kevin Stitt, the current chairman of the National Governors Association, broke with Texas, saying, “Oklahomans would lose their mind” if Illinois sent troops to their red state.

If there is one thing I've learned about the Salvador Dali painting we are currently existing within, it's that it is a mistake to try to make too much sense out of the events at hand.

Not as actually out of their fucking minds as it sounds (but definitely sick) when you consider that blaming circumcision is an anti-Semitic dog whistle.

To be fair to Empty Green, she looks much less stupid when she says things that are not stupid. Which is not very often.

Did conservatives really just tell Pope Leo to "Shut up and pray"?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 6d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.
