One segment of society builds weapons for mass murder that any 18 year old disturbed asshole can use to kill a dozen sitting children in minutes. They do this for the money. The owners, workers, investors, managers
make money doing this.
Another segment stands in a classroom all day long teaching little kids to read, multiply, write, ask questions, learn stuff. Thats how they make their money. What are they liable for? Ooh, they are guilty until proven innocent, liable for EVERYTHING. The questions..oh my god, maybe they left an open door!!! (They didnt, but if they had
) Did they cover the bodies of the small children? Lead them in active shooter drills?
So often the gap between what one segment is ALLOWED to do and what another group is EXPECTED to do is glaring. Like, Republican presidents and politicians are allowed to crash the economy, go off their meds, run over people in hit and runs, get arrested for DWIs, and have sex with underage girls; while Democratic presidents and politicians are EXPECTED to stop it from veering into the ditch, get full employment, keep inflation low, be tolerant and work with the opposition, compromise, dont compromise, speak in full sentences, be dynamic and wear only dark suits.
Democrat politicians or teachers, you didnt leap tall buildings in a single bound, you didnt stop a bullet at the last second.
Republican politicians and money men, youre allowed to make money however you want, especially gy manufacturing all those bullets and guns but also getting elected on the backs of Russian donations or trading on insider information.
Stormed the Capitol? Ooh, our bad. We should have
seen it coming? Had more police there? Stopped Trump 20 years ago? Bought TV stations and radio to reverse the brainwashing from the other side? Oh sure, because brainwashing and insurrections are just normal. Who can blame them?
Not us. We cant blame them for anything.
This slaughter of innocents? We cant seem to get anything passed. (Shhh! Dont say Republicans out loud when youre placing blame. Ever.)
