I typed that first, instead of damp. But figured that was simply pushing things too far.

The turtle's dead, folks. Choked trying to vomit up another galaxy.

Fucking neolibs with a boner for Reaganomics.

From Wikipedia:

The majority of the think tank's funding comes from individuals with close ties to the banking industry and its board of trustees consists mostly of investment bankers. Political commentator and Bernie Sanders campaign official David Sirota suggested that the think tank's initiatives to combat Social Security expansion despite popular sentiment is because it would cause trustees of the think tank to pay higher taxes. Hunter of Daily Kos suggested Third Way's ties to the banking industry is the reason for its opposition to Senator Elizabeth Warren's platform of Wall Street reform. Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Nation alleges the think tank's ties to the Democratic Party are "tenuous" and that it exists to serve as a vehicle for corporate and right-wing interests to shape the economic policies of the party. Writing in The Intercept, Akela Lacy describes Third Way as a "center-left, corporate and GOP donor-funded nonprofit", which advocates for neoliberal policies and is staunchly opposed to Medicare for All.

Burn it down.

Dark, cold, damp, pale, and floating is always nice.

The red mooch states are so fucked.

Their hospitals are closing at unprecedented rates. Food assistance is coming to an end.

Blue states that actually pay more to the federal government should probably be fine as they can more likely reallocate funds as necessary.

The red States will have problems getting blood from a stone.

Ok. Why laugh? Are you amused? Didn't seem like it.

Set boundaries. Don't laugh if it's not funny. Some people like pushing buttons... Your buttons in this case.

"That's not funny. I don't appreciate those kinds of comments."

Have you tried that? Cuz usually when people stick up for themselves they don't need other people to do it for them.

How about "Stop. I won't tolerate this harassment."

And body language is important here. You don't smile. You don't laugh. You look at them with a look of disgust and contempt. "If looks could kill."

And then you go talk with HR. And then HR has a talk with them.

Good luck!

It's kind of federated. You can purchase access through providers and use proxy/vpn.

Most ISPs no longer host or provide access.
