if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

Ok but seriously, what am I going to do with a nearly 4-foot-tall (114 cm) Cool S, I've run out of wall space for such a thing.
Do I let it into the blank wall space I keep for professional video calls? Do I mount it on the ceiling over my bed??

If you apply the dynamics of a subculture scene to the billionaire/ruling class scene, then a lot will make more sense.
It’s a small community, the doesn’t do anything about known abusers and their actions have consequences for the rest of us.
But they’re all buddies, even supposed enemies.

The special election is in 2 weeks and Turning Point Action shifted most of their GOTV team to this little known recall and after Kirk died the volunteers significantly increased. Their goal is to shift Mesa to an even more far-right stronghold, TPUSA folks encouraged Mark Lamb to run in CD5 too.
Dorean Taylor speaking at a Mesa City Council meeting back in April. Here she talks about wanting the non discrimination ordinance removed specifically to discriminate against transgender people. Sorry for the bigoted commentary here but Mesa folks can’t sleep on this recall election.
