It requires no restraint if you're not a monster.

I know this is just a joke, but I’ve recently become a project manager for the first time. I’m open to tips and suggestions.

I’ve really enjoyed it and have worked hard to give my developers everything they need as soon as possible. Otherwise I try to stay out of the way and do my best to shield them from the pressure that’s being applied on me to achieve deadlines.

I’d agree that anyone can ask for project updates, but I really do work hard to balance client demands with c-suite expectations and the realistic outcomes described by my developers.

He knew he wasn't above the law, he just believed the consequences were worth it. I hope he's right.

What a great photo. It's like someone distilled bigotry into it's purest form and then fashioned a human from it.

While Tax the Rich is fair and accurate, I wish we could point out that this isn't some undue burden. This is just reclaiming the surplus wealth they've extracted from the economy.

We can and should do far more, but this is a good start.

Interesting that the article thinks 50 to 65 is the boomer generation. Poor Gen X will be forgotten until they are no more.

I'm definitely represented in this article. I basically don't buy beef anymore despite being raised with it was the centerpiece of my diet.

I've learned to embrace plant-based alternatives generally find them as enjoyable if not more so than beef.

The amount of people here commenting authoritatively about this is disheartening.

Trump's economic policies were insane. I remember looking at his campaign platform and seeing tax cuts everywhere and with no way to pay for anything.

I remember him shuttering valuable tools like the pandemic response teams because he wanted to tear down the success of previous administrations.

I still remember him mocking our military, displaying state secrets on national tv, trade wars that destroyed American jobs, diplomatic decisions that ruined international relationships.

I remember immigrant children locked in cages.

I remember the rule of law being absolutely trampled in order to achieve nothing. Just norms and institutions being torn down.

Trump accomplished nothing and made literally every facet of our government, politics and economic life worse.

He performed a political pump and dump and the entire world is still picking up the pieces.

He is a fascist and categorically the worst president we've ever had and every person here saying, "well actually..." should be ashamed.

Honestly, if they were to rule that Trump is immune, Biden should immediately arrest the affirming justices and replace them with his own appointees, screw the process.

He’s immune, after all.

Of course, the new justices would probably hold Biden accountable and then recuse themselves to allow the displaced justices to return.

Otherwise, we may be looking at the end of capitalism.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

They should never have been allowed to buy them to begin with.

The second best time is now.

Every time I think of moving somewhere with a lower cost of living, stuff like this happens and reminds me why I pay a premium.

If he'd only written the first verse, I might believe it.
