    Like honestly considering we've had literal father-to-son hand-offs of the Presidency within a generation and in our own lifetimes having a second distantly related Kennedy in office 50 years after the last one doesn't seem like an affront to democracy.

    It's another confirmation that there is a ruling political class out there, which is arguably very much separated and isolated from reality.

    As if anyone who has the means and privilege to run for President hasn't already been assimilated into the ruling class, and as if the "ruling class" was a single monolith and there wouldn't be real and discrete differences between a Kennedy or Clinton dynasty and the current Trump non-dynasty?

    Hillary Clinton wanted to include profit sharing for employees as part of her economic agenda, but yeah, a 1-time $1000 payout for select employees that all of the companies offering it could have made at any point without it moving the needle on their bottom line is for sure the same and will in no way go absolutely nowhere for most people stuck in a debt spiral and is 100% NOT paying lip service to the administration since they know how easy it is to play to this President's ego because almost all the companies making said offer are also in the midst of or about to begin some sort of fraud and/or antitrust investigation.

    Honestly what the actual fuck is wrong with you. How much are you willing to ignore in order to put forth the narrative that any of these people are somehow even in the same ballpark of how awful those in this administration are. Hey, a $1000 bonus! Only 99 more of those and you can afford a ticket to dinner at Mar-a-Lago so you can post on social media how traumatized you were by using a plastic spoon to serve caviar.

    I hear your face isn't blindly obsessed with establishing a false narrative in order to distract from the hope-crushingly real agenda of the Trump administration, better cut your nose off to spite it.

    Bonuses are a band-aid on an open wound. A one time $1000 bonus is basically nothing when you consider it vs a wage increase. The tax bill allows for huge amounts of money to be repatriated for almost nothing with no incentive structure to deal with inequality, stagnant wage growth, pay discrimination, or any of the multi-decade-long problems the U.S. labor market has faced.

    A bonus is your job deciding not to commit to a pay raise.

    Which is fun when you work at a manufacturing plant because they toss you them every quarter based off if you hit/exceeded targets.

    Dems scoff at a 1000 dollars for people that live check to check and wonder why folks feel like they are out of touch.

    ....the argument is that a 1000$ bonus is insufficient compared to better wages or other benefits.

    A better argument would be 1000 bonuses and tax cuts are a good start but we can do better, but it would be a lie, because dems would raise taxes to pay for some ineffective bloated shit govt program.

    Can we admit that we need wealth redistribution, then?
