Got the heck out as soon as I could. My community (Morriston) had a family living in a literal dirt-floor shack, their kids showing up for the school bus without shoes, in 1980 and no. One. Cared.
And ever since, bigots have been chomping at the bit to do it again—only worse—to whomever they want to punch down on at the moment (cf., Michelle Malkin wanting Muslim American citizens interred “for the duration”).
Everyone makes mistakes. Intelligent people learn from them; today’s Republicans try to wrap them in the flag and make even worse ones.
“Large firms are also more likely to be unionized, and they employ a greater share of women and minorities than small firms do, making Big Business an unlikely enemy of progressives” Oh my gucking FOD, that sentence is such an utter masterpiece of attempted bull$%!#-baffling. Big Business doesn’t willingly unionize its employees; employees have to fight to unionize. All those benefits are then won THROUGH union negotiations. And massive conglomerates are one of the main causes of small enterprises failing; in a match between a mom-and-pop brick-and-mortar vs. Amazon (which treats its employees like garbage), the monster is going to crush its opponent.
…Very quickly, in small words—preferably with color pictures and someone jangling keys every few seconds to help him stay semi-alert.
LOL at Kellyanne Conway trying to claim that Martin Luther King, Jr. would oppose impeachment. There is no bottom in the GOP barrel to scrape.
