Wonder what they'll do tonight.
Go to bed early to make sure they are well rested for the work week?
With millions out of work, for some reason that has disappeared from my brain, I doubt it.
Maybe Trump could hire more gestapo officers.
a new career path for verb presents itself

I know that if I was out of work I'd be flinging my shit and piss and the Portland Police every night instead of desperately trying to find a job.

Imagine a world in which these people put half of the energy they spend on trashcan shields and poop bombs into things like tutoring kids or providing free-of-charge daycare services. You know, things that actually help improve black lives.

Now imagine asking them to do that.

But seriously, what conversation? You've post like 50 words in this thread in the last month. I love to have conversations here but we gotta meet half way where you post what you honestly think and feel and not just occasional snark.
