Why would they do that if climate change isn't real?

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

Because democrats are addicted to crime!!!111

Wage theft is the bigger problem.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

I doubt there are very many politicians that consider wage theft to be a problem at all.

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Especially since their candidate committed it against all those polish immigrants to build one of his towers.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, I'm not going to limit it to one party on this.

Neither major party has treated wage theft like the problem it is. I doubt either ever will

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's fair, and I'm sure many of those politicians in both parties have committed it as well. However the subject of the article has committed vast amounts of it. I think that's worth mentioning. He's the subject of the article after all.

Once you have the air conditioner who can afford the electricity to run it?

[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Look, I already sold one kidney a few years ago.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Sell someone else's kidney

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Do you know how much a bathtub full of ice costs these days?

[-] myster0n@feddit.nl 14 points 2 years ago

But if you got an air conditioner the ice lasts longer

…and GOP voters in general are reporting they are more likely to support electing people convicted of felonies after Trump’s conviction [unless they’re brown, Muslim, atheist, democrat or gay].

Fixed that for you!

I purchased a AC unit at Costco the other day. I didn't see anyone else even in that aisle.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

They’re that good at being sneaky

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

No joke I worked at a Walmart in the early 90s and they caught a lady stealing a microwaves by holding it between her thighs under her dress. She was a large lady. I’m pretty sure I heard she only got caught because she had done it like twice before and she kept returning them for money.

Oh it's a 40k joke. Purple means sneaky in orc culture.

Example:

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com -1 points 2 years ago

Solar panels are next. Then I dk food like good old days.

This kind of stuff is annoying. Acting like they are stealing big screen tvs or advance pcs. People literally die from heat and GOP removes laws to reduce it. Go do better things. Like start a federal fund to subsidize AC units or mandating solar panels on AC units. yes, I know not realistic but operation light speed it jerks.

See, your problem is that you’re taking his statement at face value. He just makes shit up all the time; he made this up.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Lol that makes it worst. I made up stuff and provided no humane solution.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.
