      I’ll have more money to buy $12 eggs, because of all the federal crybabies who’ll quit because they’re mad that they have to actually do their jobs now. Tax refund, baby!!! :)

        Wow, you’re incredibly uninformed in how anything works. Holy shit. You posted this stupidity publicly.

          Oh I post all my stupidity publicly! What’s funny though is that you thought I was being serious.

          Not only do I know that’s not how things works, I don’t even actually buy eggs. I have 4 hens in my backyard, so I get all my eggs from my own yard. I only have chicken feed during deep winter. The rest of the time they forage. So my eggs are pretty cheap. And organic.

          Thanks, friend! :)

      Freeze peach is only ever a valid argument when you use it to denigrate minorities. This is totally fine for 1st amendment nuts.

      Freedom of speech means you can’t go to prison for saying something.

      It doesn’t mean you don’t have to face whatever consequences your workplace chooses.

      Example: You can call your boss an asshole. You can’t go to jail for calling him an asshole–because of freedom of speech. But you can very much get fired for calling him an asshole. :)

        That’s not what free speech means either. The first amendment of the constitution says:

        Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

        Trump is blatantly violating the first amendment rights of federal employees. A business could fire someone for putting pronouns in their emails, the president however, cannot.

          I disagree. But I guess we’ll find out what the courts say. Thanks, friend!
