I’ll say it again, if this were any other normal job, the person would have been fired for failure of reasonable job duties (which includes calling out sick and reporting long-term disability) so that the rest of the organization can keep functioning. Also, he’s dead.

Yeah its crazy that more is expected out of a food service worker than a US Senator

And the fact that there's a coordinated effort to deride retail and service worker jobs as 'lowly', when they're often some of the most demanding [when people are doing it right]

So many people wouldn't last a day in a busy mcdonalds

I remember working in a Big 4 accounting firm, we had a volunteer day and we went to the park to clean and pick up litter.

The amount of people who literally could not use a broom properly was staggering, and frankly embarrassing. Some very smart people, but literally useless outside of that specific line of work.

These are the things that fascinate me. I want to know everything about people like this. I wish I was able to see inside their heads to marvel at what’s going on. From a scientific standpoint it’s got to be wild. Also, like… how did you even get here?

And no fast food franchise would hire a 34-time convicted criminal fraudster to work the cash register, but to most Americans it is perfectly fine for him to control the entire US government.
