She's me but in reverse. Benjamin Bussin'.
Any day I learn some Dutch is a good day.
I'm a school bus driver now and it's great. I get to drive a big Tonka truck around and gaslight children. Sure, I make about 1/6 of what I used to make as a mobile apps programmer, but at least I get good subsidized health insurance and I only work 5 hours a day.

Ok, I see that these letters are next to each other on the keyboard, but ... damn.
He doesn't lack mental capacity. He understands that "trump won the 2020 election" means he's loyal to the trump cartel. He worships Baal but he knows he can't just say "yeah, I worship Baal".
Freedom in the US means the right to ride your Harley Davidson fart noise machine wherever you want.
You guys get shock collars? We get the kind that explodes your head.

It's the second-best version of A Christmas Carol, after the Blackadder version.
I'm a school bus driver and I got a card at the end of the year from all the kids at one stop. They all signed their names, but one fourth-grade girl added "thank you for driving us from place to place and for making us smile every day. We ♥ you!" I about melted. Much more meaningful than the fucking Panera gift card it came with (I know, I know: never look a gift horse in the microwave).
These kids are all rich as fuck, so it's not exactly the same as OP's story.
There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.
It's really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it's enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.

I'm an avid bicyclist, and I constantly find myself in stores saying "on your left" when I walk past people. I'm sure people are confused, but then it seems like nobody knows what that means on a bike path, either.
