    I’m so tired of rich white people telling me I don’t work hard enough as I literally work my life away. I’m sure basically everyone that reads this comment has worked more in the last 5 years than these people have worked in their entire lives.

      Yeah I was just thinking the fact that he is a politician is proof positive he doesn’t do shit.

    In 2025 Congress almost met fewer days in 2025 than they have in a decade (2nd only to 2021 during COVID). Conservatively I work 240 days per year and their average is about 125.

    How many times has Mike Johnson sent the House on vacation now? How long did their government shutdown compare to other shutdowns?

    It’s just worthless shit stirring and value signalling for a base that doesn’t care about the truth.

    I would pay an entire days worth of wages to see a politician in his button up shirt do hardscaping for a day. I bet this sack of shit wouldn’t even make it to lunch.

      They are also not paid very much so steak and lobster would represent a significant waste of money, or that they are not paying for it.

    Elon musk has nearly a trillion dollars, but somehow is ceo of like six companies and still has time to fuck up our government and be a public asshole. There’s no way he works as hard in each one of those jobs as I do in mine because he’d have to put in more hours per week than there are available to work those jobs. Salary is not tied to effort in today’s society.
