    Anyone considering running for high office, and looking for a hook to run on? Run for the governor of NY on a platform of giving Luigi Mangione a full and unconditional pardon.

    You would win in a landslide.

      I honestly don’t think this would work, too many older people vote and they are not generally in agreement with the working class plights of modern times. They think we should still make a nickle while they make a buck because they got there first.

        My mother, who literally works at a hospital fighting with insurance companies all day long to get things approved, “doesn’t understand” why this happened in the first place, and thinks all the people who are pleased about it are “sad and pathetic”

        Personally I think she fully understands why people cheer it on, she just chooses to ignore it because things aren’t bad enough for her yet so CLEARLY everyone else is overreacting…

            1: you are absolutely correct

            B- YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT MY MAMMA REEEEE

            She’s college educated with a degree to teach math k-12, which just goes to show even a good education isnt always enough to make people see logic and reason.

          If you work at a hospital there’s a good chance you have a union and don’t face the same problems the rest of the workforce does.

        They can do that lying down. In the dirt. In a moisture-sealed box. In perpetuity.

        That way, that money can actually do something for those actually living life. 🤌🏽
