Hey Linus did you merge my branch into mommy? I really want to get it out.

I just see that forehead, sideburns, and a hateful person.

Product manager: "I want a new role for users that can only do x,y,z"

With far fewer irs agents, they can't effectively audit tax cheats.

We are funding the complete destruction of Palestine.

Golf is expensive.

He's been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)

I get focused on small things, which makes me an inefficient cleaner. Sure that drawer is going to be the most organized it has ever been, but there are bigger fish to fry.

I just need someone following me around to ask questions like "Are you sure deep cleaning the microwave is the most effective use of your time right now?"

Interesting taking the approach of "most important cases first" now. What were they doing, calling them in by last name?

At first I thought this was unrealistic because the comedy portion was so bad. Then I realized it is probably about Joe Rogan, in which case this checks out.

AIPAC and Citizens United are actually frightening.

They are able to change the outcome of races with seemingly unlimited money. A spend of 8.4 million in a Missouri primary is absurd, and likely is a drop in the bucket of what is spent influencing the presidential race.

I don't think there is a way to fix this either, since the people that should be writing laws to prevent it are the ones benefiting the most.

I imagine this is also happening in Republican primaries, so one can't just vote differently to address the root cause. Both republicans and Democrats seem to be tripping over each other to prove what a friend they are to Israel. It's really weird and stressful to be a US citizen right now.

I think him wearing an oversized bandage for as long as he did supports your hypothesis.

The problem is that companies like Intuit have resources/lobbyists and really want to maintain their position in the market.

Your system sounds wonderful though.
