at Penzey's Spice store (which is a hardcode liberal company btw).

Never heard of Penzey's until a close friend of ours gave us a gift box of their spices plus a $25 gift card. Went to their web site and had a good laugh. That guy is bat sheet crazy!

I went to check it out, but your words don't do it justice.
On the banner of the web page they have a link right next to "About us" called "About Republicans". It's quite the manifesto, summarized by this gem:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we're done pretending the Republican Party's embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I'm sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.

I'd just love to hear their warped examples. Let me guess, they still think Trump called SPLC funded Neo Nazis and skinheads "fine people."

If she made 272k as SVP, just imagine how much her boss, the President made. Half a MILL???

Now I demand we get H1B slaves to do these jobs so we can pay them $10/hr.

I can't bring myself to feel one bit bad for people like this, that have taken advantage of the fraud and corruption for years and years. She knew what was going on and put herself right in the middle of it.

She got what she deserved when she was terminated and now she's finding out what she's really worth.

Don't feel bad for her at all. One less taxpayer leach that has no skills and lived a lifestyle that was out of their skillset or means to support themselves.
Rgr...out.

Penzey's are very good spices, especially their blends. As a foodie, they were impressive. As a cheap Dame, they were too expensive. As a conservative, they were BSC leftists who should have kept their mouths shut and I might have continued to order a few now and then.

No thanks, I'll stick with Fiesta now.


Go to Penderys. They stick to spices.

I still have some Penzeys bottles from way back when but the labels are long gone and they are replaced with Penderys stuff. I make a trip to the FW store about once every 3 months or so. Pretty sure you can order/have shipped.

You misspelled fraud. The correct spelling is "somali"; no need to capitalize it, it's not worth the effort.

It's crazy that the story is clearly meant to evoke sympathy for the lady. The photograph angle and lighting are meant to evoke a pathos response.

I mean, just look at the sad look on her sad face! It's just so . . . sad!

The poor upper middle class lady--who made a quarter million a year--had to apply for a lowly 19$/hour job!

Quel dommage!

Cue the tears!

This is life under Donald Trump! The rich know-nothings get their taxpayer-funded exorbitant salaries slashed, or they're let go completely! She was planning a cocktail party for 100 guests! A COCKTAIL PARTY, PEOPLE!!! People probably will not even LOOK at her at the country club! The world is falling apart!!!

It's like Trump has no respect for the grift he's killing all over the federal government!

Who's going to pay her Lexus payment??? Her kids' private school? Her maid, butler, chef and gardener???

Outrageous!

So, a leach that was funded by the government with no job skills making over a quarter of a million dollars is "suffering".

I remember back during the GW Bush administration how he caught so much heat because the government wasn't doing enough to help those less fortunate people in America. The administration response was that government entitlement programs are very inefficient use of government funds because of the overhead (not to mention the corruption). I didn't disagree. Their solution was to provide grants and supports to charitable orgs who were allegedly much more efficient and mission-driven to help those in need. Naive me believed this was a noble solution.

As with so many things over the years I have learned that, as sure as the sun rises every morning in the east, government funding just creates massive bloat, waste, and corruption. It doesn't matter - education, public works, military, public welfare. EVERY DAMN TIME we end up uncovering corruption.

The best thing about this story is discovering that USAID is actually still defunded and not doing much. I was thinking it had likely risen from the dead once the press moved onto something else.

Was the $19/hour with showing the old lady cleavage or without?

I'd bet $1000 she got her do-nothing job years ago(pre-gravity), due to the cleavage you astutely noticed.

Well done.

Find an international market to buy spices at. You get huge bags of anything dirt cheap and they are always high quality.



Also, as someone who works 50+ hours a week and paid a net 25% tax rate last year this article makes me sigh. So much of my work is literally for nothing.

The spirit if this article makes me think of that 20-something girl who posted what a day in her work life was like, and it was about 15% work and about 85% getting lattes, working out, and virtual meetings. The whole point was to brag how easy she had it working for a tech giant, or something, making a ridiculous salary.

Never occurred to her that she was documenting and making public why she was a waste and completely useless to her company. This generation (among others) doesn't think very much before they post something. They think everything must be displayed online . . . what she eats, where she shops, her hobbies, and every political thought that enters her mind on every issue.

I guarantee you she went on at least 6 week-long international travel junkets - all first class and all staying at the ritz Carlton (or whatever). Plus their benefits program is likely solid gold and cost another 40-50k/year. By the time you add in a really generous "networking" budget (company money to eat at Michelin star restaurants and drink $250/bottle wine 3 times a week) this lady was probably north of $500k all in.

I've met many of these kinds of people over the years in my international travel. They are the most slick brained people I have ever encountered. No sense of responsibility or accountability making tons of money off our tax dollars.

The entire DC area is filled with these types of folks, making huge salaries working for think tanks, lobbying groups, trade associations, NGOs, etc., etc.

It's like a real-life Hunger Games. At least they aren't making those of us in the districts fight each other. Yet.

because the indoctrination from academia and the bureaucracies that provide the funding to their "NGOs" enable the socialist mindset to set in and convince them they are doing great work for society. They convince themselves that they deserve all the good things in life because of the wonderful things they and their NGO think they do for the world.


I've said it before, but when the best "get rich quick" schemes in your country are either becoming a politician or a bureaucrat, or learning how to scam for government grants, to the point that those are more lucrative than entrepreneurship, innovation, or even just hard work at a company in a capitalist system, you might be too far down the socialist revolutionary path.

I would bet a considerable amount of money that this woman recently voted FOR redistricting in Virginia. You know, so she could help make elections "fair" again and make a 50-50 state 10-1 in favor of Dems in Congress.

I have no sympathy for her.


100% she did, also the one that her friends at the local Cracker Barrel lunch say to her "It's such a shame that Trump did that to you" the TDS/hate in NOVA is SUPER strong!!!
