Plus you’d figure most the people in the budget to be hiring motorcades… would be better served hiring a few full time security guards.

One thing you can never underestimate is just how cheap some of these cunts are.

That's how they stay rich, while the rest of us spend our measly incomes on stuff like rent and food.

If that were the case, it would almost be understandable. But so many of these twats couldn't spend all their money in a single lifetime - anyone who has an 9-digit net worth (or mid-level 8-digit) could pay my monthly rent every day of their lives and, without making another cent, still die with more money than I will make in ten lifetimes.

Yet they prefer to cheat people - for example, out of a measly few hundred dollars in legally-mandated and agreed-upon overtime pay per year - to the most basic, fundamental decency.

Not even by their own professed values of well-negotiated mutual contractual obligations are they decent human beings, and that's a low fucking bar.
