I also think it’s cruel to have a bunch of people 70+ in our government. Sitting at the helm of American imperialism and making important decisions on how to ruin as many lives as possible is soooo stressful for aging bodies. They keep dying in office after so much corporate money and effort is spent to get them elected.
Mitch McConnell is 84 years old and probably dead because nobody has seen him since mid-June 2026. And that fucker STILL has a job.
Apparently death won’t even stop them now.
every job I’ve ever had, I had to sign a thing at the time of hiring that said if I ever missed 3 days of work in a row without calling in, I would be considered to have voluntarily quit the job. I live in fear that if I ever get hit by a car and go into a coma for a week and nobody thinks to notify my work, I will come out of that coma with no job and no unemployment benefits and a record of having just quit my last job out of nowhere with zero communication. This is a horrifyingly normal thing for regular-people jobs. And the people who make the laws that allow this shit get to keep their jobs while literally braindead. Fuck this.
