Vance has less charisma and would not have the staying power Trump has demonstrated.

Do you think he has a raging clue

Not sure if this is true but it’s an attractive explanation

It’s fine to develop relationships at work and move them into “on good terms” territory if that is viable. It’s also fine if it is possible to move those viable work-friendships outside of the work environment to see if they can stand on their own. What is not smart however is to think that work-friendships are real friendships just because “we get along” at work. Most work friendships will drop you like a hot rock if you get fired. It’s important to be ready for that to happen even as you see what friendships might be viable.

“Elderly billionaire Johann Sebastian Bach Smith is being kept alive through medical support and decides to have his brain transplanted into a new body. He advertises an offer of a million dollars for the donation of a body from a brain-dead patient. Smith omits to place any restriction on the sex of the donor, so when his beautiful young female secretary, Eunice Branca, is killed, her body is used—without his knowledge and to the distress of some of those around him.”

The playing field is not equal so it isn’t reasonable to hold people to the same standard of making an impact.

Well, I didn’t know that. I meant no disrespect. I was working off what seemed to me to be a humorous superficial resemblance. Apologies.

Another temporarily embarrassed millionaire

But actually committing to do something substantially FDRish for the working man isn’t an easy sell within high level Democrat party leadership. I don’t know why this is true exactly but I expect it has to do with money and power.

Poor Freddie is not prepared for the modern world.

Many people do not grasp the sheer size of the disparity between the truly wealthy and everyone else.

Very Blade Runner 2049 indeed, but those guys at least had greenhouses where they farmed edible insects

It’s beautiful but the neat part is he’s smiling
