A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Non-US user - how old is that guy?? He looks like he should be hovering around a nursing home shouting racial slurs at the staff.

He's 75 years old, considered young for most representatives of the USA.

He can stand up on his own and form coherent sentences, so he's neonatal by congressional standards.

Him and half of our leaders. They're addicted to the power and won't leave it. It's just one reason you know corruption is rampant. These people don't want to retire despite having a guaranteed paycheck and healthcare for the rest of their lives.

Yeah they are welfare queens who just sit and collect paychecks. Then they vote to ban welfare for the poor and disabled. Cuck Shumer like his cronies on both sides of the aisle take from Americans and receive buyouts and bribes from Oligarchs.

What's funny about power is usually when you have power, you do something with it. You get high off the authority you wield.

What have these old fucks done with their power other than just taking in tax payer money to line their own pocke......

Nevermind.
