Thieves in the Night
incompetent thieves, at that
Creeping Galloping Incrementalism
At 5am—after a “grueling” 20 hour session…

Transparency!!

So you’re admitting you’re incompetent*. Thank you, at least, for that.
*yes, incompetent. It’s your job to know wtf you’re passing, isn’t it? You’re a law maker.
If a guy—who knows absolutely nothing about shoes, except how to seal ‘em from shoe shoppe—called himself a shoemaker and made a pair of shoes with three heels and spikes inside, you’d call him incompetent, wouldn’t you? If a banker sold a packet of debts without a pretty good idea that 98% of them would go belly-up, you’d call him incompetent, wouldn’t you? If a loan officer sold a loan without knowing whether the debtor was capable of—or even interested in—repaying it [despite Federal Regulations demanding he do so], you’d call him incompetent, didn’t you?
yes, incompetent.
