my point is that temple should do whatever the hell they want. just like bob's donuts should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

why are people always getting angry at the wrong person? You had the people to blame. The ones that could have fixed this decades ago and chose not to fix it. In fact, if they really, really, really wanted to, they could fix it this month.

If Temple are the pricks, then what were our past senators who controlled trillions of dollars that are refreshed each year?

what about the donut shop around my corner. They raised prices and it hurt me. Are they pricks too? Why can't they simply hire 1,000 more people tonight to help us with our medical problems?

Unfortunately, those are both things the Republican Party has discussed doing since 2016. Fortunately, they don't seem to have the seats at any level needed to consider it since 2022.

What I was getting at is that they'll lie and bend any principle to grab more naked power. There's nothing you can point to and say "they won't do that" or "that goes against their platform / ideology", or even "that's nonsense / contradictory / hypocritical, because if it gets them more power, they absolutely will find a way to justify it.

Alright, I promise I am not wishing bad health on John F. But I am so curious as to who Shapiro would appoint in the case JF had to resign.

Arguments for Giselle

  1. Appointing a spouse has been done before.
  2. She pretty much ran the campaign.
  3. Biden made that blooper when he said she would be a great lady in the senate.

Arguments against Giselle

  1. Shapiro might want the job himself (doubtful)
  2. There are people in state government who have been working away, paying their dues, Shapiro might think one of them should get it.

Temple is their own organization, with limited budget and priorities and goals. They should do whatever they want.

your Senator controls trillions of dollars and works for you. Those trillions get refreshed every single year. Your senator should be working on universal healthcare tonight. They should literally sit down and work on it today.

Instead, senators are whining about how Bezos is mistreating his employees. As if Bezos should give up all his wealth to give everyone healthcare for a year. But then he lost all his money, so it would only last one year.
