Marjorie Taylor Greene Fined $12,000 For Alleged Illegal Super PAC Solicitations

  • Not that I don't agree with you, but now I'm imagining what $12,000 worth of peanuts looks like and it's glorious 😁

  • The fine means she's been found guilty, Forbes.

    Your use of the word "alleged" is unnecessary, misleading and makes it sound like you're taking the word of notoriously unhinged liar Perjury Greene over that of the FEC.

    Would that make Kurt Cobain the 1994 Seattle speed eating champion?

    • Election denier Kristina Karamo voted out as Michigan Republican party chair

  • Like so many delusional women and minorities in the GOP before her, she thinks she's immune from the inherent bigotry of the party because she's "one of the good ones".

    • At least five states are considering requiring full minimum wages for tip earners this year

    Jump

  • The cost of paying those people at the very least minimum wage is factored into the price of your purchase, except for the busser, who shares tips with the servers.

    Because that's not the case with servers, you tip in order for the server to get paid for performing a service for you.

    You’re an enabler, keeping an abusive system alive to benefit one small category at the expense of everyone else

    No. I've been clear from the start that tipping is a thing we have to do temporarily so that servers don't starve or become homeless before we finally fix the system.

  • New York and Los Angeles which saw increased shoplifting rates

    Increased ARREST rates for shoplifting. Both the NYPD and the LAPD as well as the LA County Sheriff are infamous for overpolicing, especially of poor people and minorities. Add at least one "tough on crime mayor" and arrests for poverty-related crimes go up regardless of whether crime does.

    This means that Eric Adams appears to be addressing a real problem

    "Appears to" being the operative words.

  • Pretty much between to the right of Reagan conservatives and outright fascists.

    The Dem leadership hasn't been center-left since Carter at the latest and the GOP hasn't been a legitimate political party at all since 2015.

    Jump

  • "Not just conservatives" he says and mentions fascist cop (but I repeat myself) Eric Adams as an example 🤦

    Fun* fact: most of the Dem party top is conservative to the point of being to the right of Reagan

    *and by "Fun" I mean tragic and infuriating

  • Not many people know it, but penguins are excellent brick layers and if they were smart enough, ostriches and emus would make excellent guard birds! Also, kiwis are just adorably awkward, so they're there to keep the morale up 😉

  • I was with you all the way until you said not going to a restaurant is even worse

    I meant for the server specifically, which was clear from the context. Even the SWU have said not to boycott Starbucks to support their unionization efforts, since that's just going to get them fired in the long run.

    Besides, the economy as a whole would pretty much collapse with ripple effects all over if too many people stopped going anywhere with servers, hurting everyone except ultra-rich people tremendously.

    Nobody should HAVE to tip

    I've been saying that the whole time.

    since you do it makes sense to vote with your wallet and not go out to eat that often, if ever.

    On the surface, yes, but not actually. See above.

    What WOULD help not just the servers but everyone including yourself would be to keep pressure on politicians until they pass a living wage for servers, making the bosses pay for their employees like in all other industries.
