That wasn’t what happened. Someone was spouting off about how Biden wanted to take everyone’s guns after seeing a manipulated video then threw out the ”I pay your salary, you work for me” line that every jackass like to throw at public employees like police or people just doing their job at the DMV.

That article is older than the recent agreement that got the sick days. So sentiments may not be the same.

I have a Porteus USB that I keep handy with my old Hirens USB. It’s Slackware based and a bit goofy when it comes to installing other apps, but because it’s a USB portable OS first I feel it’s one of the ones that handles that limitation best. I used to use Puppy IIRC.

My guess is that he says it just to keep his personal beliefs from being assailable and being challenged. He can ask questions of others to try and make points and insulate himself.

Disillusioned “open minded” republicans like my brother for one. He was telling me that Dems should run him to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans to prevent Trump from winning. He’s a pretty smart guy who somehow got convinced that JAQing off is a good basis for philosophical thought and denies that he has any firm beliefs and is open to anything that he thinks sounds convincing.

And you would need to train the AI on what’s unnecessary for reading comprehension
