I've never been able to stand "Mr. Wonderful", and while I don't wish him ill, when he disappeared due to having shilled for FTX before its CEO was arrested and people lost their $, it was hard not to like not having to listen to him, whatever the reason why.

The video is 9 y/o, but that doesn't absolve him of being a prick.

He can't help being Canadian.

I heard taxing the rich doesn't do any good.

Well, simply taxing the rich is kind of a band aid on a bullet wound, rather than a greater systemic reform that would take the issue of millionaires hoarding wealth while kids go hungry, and render it all moot instead.

But, maybe we’d be better off making some joke about how feeding kids free meals is only gonna create dependency, when it should be up to those grade schoolers to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps and feed themselves instead.

(Related: I been meaning to make the point about how the “this job is so easy a school kid could do it” crowd should prob not be too surprised by child labor violations popping back up in the news)

Don't look now but it's now legal in Arkansas.

Anyone know why Leon was talking to Gym Jordan and McCarthy while refusing to comply with a DOJ warrant for Trump's twitter account?

I think Xitler is a better descriptor. Puss filled fascist skin.

My Indian friends pronounce the 'x' in their names with the 'sh' sound, so....every time I see Xitter and Xitler it makes me giggle.

Just one of more ludicrous examples of the common cause made among very strange partners whose only alignment is the general unwavering pursuit of freedom from rules and consequences.
