If you’re going to be self-employed, at least be a good boss to yourself. It doesn’t make sense to treat yourself like the worst boss you’ve ever had.

Go to work for ICE, and be the worst worker in the history of America. Then you earned your money gumming up the works of an evil organization, and you can feel good about taking their money to hurt them.

I’ve been self-employed for about 30 years, which puts you rubbing elbows with other self-employed business people.

I have learned that while MOST people want to run a friendly, moral, legal business, and would never cross the line, there are a plenty of amoral businesspeople who don’t have any problems crossing the line.

Furthermore, they are well-aware that many businesspeople won’t cross the line, so that makes their willingness to act illegally or immorally their personal competitive edge, and they absolutely look at it that way.

They watch for decent, moral businesses, and they target them in various ways, either as a competitor, a supplier, a contractor, etc.

That’s not “Passive” income, if you have to attract 50-60 people per day, pretend to interview them, while subliminally encouraging them to use the vending machine. That’s called a full-time job, and probably illegal, too.

And that isn’t $300/day profit, he has to pay for those items in his machine. The profit is probably no more than 50%, so $150/day. For an 8 hour day, that’s $18.75 an hour. That’s a lot of work for not that much money. It certainly isn’t “Passive.”

Most people have missed it. I have seen anyone in the media report on this or ask anyone in the administration about it. It should be one of the biggest stories in America.

Some did, but they won by cheating, and we ALL know it.

I’d rather a dead useless martyr, than an active live Nazi.

Invite them all for dinner, and take care of the entire problem at once.

Exactly what I thought. Nobody has made it more possible than the people in this room.

That reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.

Pay the lady!

The fact that these liars weren’t struck by lightning while posing for this photo, is proof positive that the God they claim to worship doesn’t exist.

One of my favorites is Stephen Foster’s Hard Times, Come Again No More (1873):

‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary;

Hard Times, Hard Times, come again no more:

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay

There are frail forms fainting at the door:

Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say –

Oh! Hard times, come again no more.

Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears

While we all sup sorrow with the poor:

There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears;

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary;

Hard Times, Hard Times, come again no more:

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

There’s a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away

With a worn heart whose better days are o’er:

Though her voice would be merry, ’tis sighing all the day –

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary;

Hard Times, Hard Times, come again no more:

Many days have lingered around my cab in door;

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

‘Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,

‘ Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore,

‘ Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave, –

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary;

Hard Times, Hard Times, come again no more:

Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;

Oh! Hard Times, come again no more.

People just don’t want to work no more, so you got to give them snacks to keep them engaged.

Here’s an idea, lower your profits by 15%, triple everyone’s pay, and watch them all walk in whistling a happy tune every morning.

Or, y’know, give them a banana. That should work just as well.

Yeah, they plan on housing tens of thousands of people at a black site on foreign soil. If they were illegals, they’d be deporting them, so who are they planning on keeping here, and why?

Also, I’ve been tracking this development since he first signed the executive order for it several months ago, but I’ve never heard a single journalist in any media mention it, or ask any member of the administration about it. Most Americans aren’t aware of this in the slightest, and the media is helping keep it that way.

This is MAGA. Incompetence is their brand. I doubt they can make any of that happen efficiently.

Besides, just forcing them to jump through all those hoops on every applicant is already a win.

And drag out the interview, ask lots of questions, repeat questions, never make a move to leave until they order you to. Eat up the interview time of several applicants.

No, it’s not. Even if they catch on to it, and start working harder to weed out applicants, it will have caused a bottleneck in their system that will slow them down. And piss them off.

Brown shirts are so mid-20th century. Here in the future, Red Hats are where it’s at!

Plus Red Hat spelled sideways is Hatred, sort of.

Looks like ICE is reading this thread.
