I did see an article that he returned to the floor and was having comprehension issues, but I don’t feel like looking for it. Fuck Mitch McConnell.

He’s been looking like a gross corpse for years now, always falling and losing pieces of skin, acting ghoulish and treasonous, so who knows what weird shit C Montgomery Worm has going on.

During his absence he has made more than 46k of taxpayers money while voting to deny others that same protection his entire life.

I don't know of any other jobs that just let you not work for 3 months and get full pay and benefits for no work.

Purely playing devil's advocate.

It's down to those above in management to deal with this, up to and including firing them. Unfortunately, for an elected official, that boss is technically the voters. Until an election comes up, it's difficult to do anything about it.

In a functional system, there would be procedures in place for situations like this. America apparently doesn't have any, on the books, and the social based ones have long been discarded.

It's also worth noting the pressure should be the other way. We should all have more flexibility and safety, not taking it away from someone, no matter how much of an arsehole they are, as a person.

E.g. at a previous company I worked for, one of the guys got cancer. He intended to work as much as he could, and take unpaid leave when he couldn't. The CEO (previously the CFO) put him in his place. He was expected to take as much time as he needed to fight it. He was welcome to come in and work, but it wasn't expected. He was also kept on full pay. Unfortunately, the cancer won. Even then, they gave his widow 6 months of his pay, so she didn't have to panic about finances. This is the behaviour we should be expecting to anyone, not just the elite, or the lucky.

Exactly what should be expected when you trust elites to hold each other accountable.

Just elected public servants, mind you. I'm a federal civil servant, and I'd be shitcanned if I tried to pull this shit.

allow him out of the nursing home to "enjoy" his "youthful" days.

Put em in the freezer. The batteries of course.

😔this is why we need right to repair! Mitchbot deserved replaceable batteries!

soul batteries.

This is what happens if you mix Mr Magoo, Weekend at Bernies, and.. Nazis.

undead, as his phylactery is only keeping his body alive but not his mind.

landlord is pretty close, and I'm sure there are other "jobs" that depend on having capital that have similar opportunities.

back to the siberian permafrost.
