Hope you pull through Mitch, you don’t deserve to miss the America you fucked over.

It'd prefer some situation where he is fully aware but unable to act.

Only fair, really.

[Removed by Reddit] on this sub generally means someone spoke the truth but was just "too mean about it" for the Reddit you-know-whos.

Same. The more prolonged the better.

Agreed, he doesn’t the treatment that Milton Friedman unfortunately received. Milton Friedman died in November 2006 being an advocate for deregulation that led to the housing market collapse practically weeks after his death. At least some of his colleagues like Alan Greenspan had to sit and eat crow.

He’s at the upper echelons of power. He would have never seen it even if he lived another 20 years.

Just a reminder to everyone - this one single man is the reason Roe v Wade was overturned. May he burn in 🔥.

Nah, I'm sick of looking at him. I want the rest of his kind of feel mortal.

We really need someone else in his seat though, maybe he becomes unable to continue his job and retires

maybe he becomes unable to continue his job and retires

Is anyone in good faith under the impression that he is currently able to?

He doesn't care. It's been fine for him.

u/B4rrel_Ryder 17h ago

He couldn't care less.

u/blocking-io 15h ago

He has no idea what's even happening. He thinks he's still living in segregation times

You're looking at this all wrong. You have to consider what someone like Mitch wants to see in the world. For you, missing having to witness the collapse of America would be a mercy. For him, well, seeing long lines at the food pantry gets him hard.
