Republicans always win. Another reason people love to vote for them.

Whenever stuff like this happens I remember that quote from the opening of The Newsroom.

If liberals are so ****ing smart, then why do they lose so god**** always?

Perception question regarding a small private school:

Tuition is ~$20k (excluding room and board), and they’re offering a year of free tuition to all incoming freshmen due to COVFEFE-19. All existing students will get a $1k deduction for next year.

If you were an existing student, would you be upset enough to go elsewhere? Would you be upset at all?

Caveat to this: the school is known as one of the most ardent Catholic schools in the nation.

Only 1 thousand for existing? I'd be ****ed.

It’s a puzzling offer. However, I know schools have lower enrollments right now due to pandemic as it concerns incoming frosh, so I’m guessing this is a way to beef up enrollment.

I’d certainly want a better deal than 1k off, but it also wouldn’t take much for me to flee a catholic institution.

I’d recommend rereading the parable of the workers in the vineyard.

At my paid job, they've told technicians if you refuse to work at this time, your case can be taken from you and given to someone else.

I’d have to read it before I could ever reread it.

OK, I've been holding my tongue on the theory that a pandemic is no time to be calling people out on anything other than failing us in a public health sense. I thought it might be a moment for peace and reconciliation. But I feel a thread coming on....1/ https://t.co/G1mUq7RmAV

Is that the one where the son gets jammed for investing well? That one always confused me.

Guy goes into town at 7 AM. Tells everyone they'll get paid the same amount if they come work his vineyard. He's still getting people at 4 PM.

At the end of the parable, the guy who started early in the day is paid the same as the guy who started near the end of the day. The guy who started early felt he was robbed, and the owner said "I told you what I would pay you."

It's a great parable, truth.
