Welp. Time to give up the microwave and fridge of he can't scrape by. What? That's what they tell us poors.

The "no shame" aspect of all of this is a central and critical part of the conspiracy. "If we all act as if nothing is wrong..." is the inherently disgusting normalization of the behavior. Shame, while uncomfortable, is an unspoken part of the social contract. They've erased it.

I was thinking of having to resign based on my shoddy pay, but a guy down the street told me he'd give me luxury vacations to keep up the charade of being a fair and impartial housekeeper, and it was just a gift that kept on giving though I did nothing to earn it. Imagine my husband's disbelief.

So if Crow feels this way, about people with limited income, WHY THE HELL DOESN'T HE HELP PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED IT? Like people on minimum wage, people in poverty?

A quote from the article in the thread.

This has always killed me about Clarence Thomas. Clearly, he wants to live a life of luxury that he cannot pay for with his Supreme Court salary. Which is fine! But the answer should be to resign and go into private practice/consulting/lobbying. He should not be able to have it both ways.
