#1 None of you want to get better, ever.
You are helpless before that phony government you worship that has spend a century spending money on solving the same problems and you got nowhere.

Labor disputes during catastrophic damage and possible loss of life tells me you lost the basic humanity to run a civilization.

That must change now because you are being watched.

Do the right thing, and you may form a Brotherhood, but this corruption will forever keep you divided.

For you I most certainly would not sew another star on the Flag.

Get yourselves together and fix it.

#3 Well, from doing this for Thousands of Years, I learned that the only way people learn is by hardship, pain, or death.

And that will never change.
It never does.

So this is just more learning that the government worshipers will forget.

#5 Hey give 'em a break.

It takes a lot of time and effort to properly apportion all the graft.

#8 The real insanity is how the PRs keep voting for these idiots on the left when it is so obvious they are feeding at the trough and not doing anything to correct problems.

Amazing. In a democracy you are supposed to vote the scoundrels out periodically.

#10 Alexander Tyler--

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

Well, they can't do what all the states do - take the worst scoundrels and ship them off to DC.
