Says the guy who is notorious for stiffing the people who work for him

As much as I hate the orange bastard, he did actually pay some of the traffic controllers that worked during the shutdown a while back $10k each.

With the caveat of needing "perfect attendance" during the shutdown, resulting in only 776 of the 20,000+ traffic controlers qualifying for it.

That's a pretty huge caveat

The guy who walked into a restaurant and told everyone the bill was on him, then fucked off and didn't even pay his own bill.

Like his bitch-ass would show up if it didn't pay. Fuck off, you festered anal fissure! 🖕

Thing is: neither will their landlords, auto loan providers, utility companies, etc. Their grocery stores, gas stations, etc. sure will, tho.

Didn't they get stiffed on some sort of bonus during the first shutdown?

He'll never forget you! He'll make toilet paper with each of your individual names on it to really commemorate you!!!

We will never forget that he raped, trafficked, and at least knew of the murder of children

Narrator: "Spoiler alert: he would."

He's already forgotten them.

Why do they have to work for free while we keep sending money to Israel?

I asked the staff near me. Contractors, no pay interruption. The company is filling the gap so far.
