Am I the only one pissed off these old people get paid the equivalent of $83 an hour to sit on their ass all day today, on their phone, talking to friends, and taking a nap? If I tried to pull that shit at my 15/h job I’d get written up and possibly fired. Why are we paying them this much to do Jack shit? Is it not like this every day? Even so if they have an 8 hour day today they will make 664 dollars today alone. That’s groceries, vaccines, vet bills. Hell that’s just for one of these guys? The 218 votes alone they are waiting for will take a total of $144,752 of tax dollars today. That’s only the votes to make a minimum win. The people making this go on for days at a time don’t care about us Americans, otherwise the wouldn’t be fucking us out of our tax dollars. Those dollars could have gone to shit that actually matters like schools, solar panels, natural disasters relief (specifically the snowstorm that just happened) funding for public transportation and infrastructure, or even helping find an answer to the housing crisis we have today.
