Not strangling a politician

[Forever_frost]

I spent yesterday sitting at a table listening to a guy talk about how Texas has been cutting it's budget and that the tax payers should be more than happy to be paying more for the programs he supports, that taxpayers should be willing to open more disability clinics, how Texas should make EVERY building ADA compliant (exempting federal buildings of course) and that the legislature didn't fund Medicare/Medicaid for the full 2 years which means they want the 'dirt poor children to die in gutters.'

I sat through 2 hours of that without stabbing him in the throat, without calling him on the carpet and without storming out. All of that with only lithium in my system. Have any of you had to sit in a professional situation, next to someone who every fiber of your being was screaming to injure greatly?

Every day...... I just got off of a meeting where I explained the plan 4 times, we agreed, everything was good, or so I thought. I finally thought we made progress and they understood. So I reiterate it in my final comments and apparently the 45 minutes we took discussing it wasn't enough. I had to explain it all over again. I wanted squeeze kittens....

Every day......

How do you do it? How do you look at someone who's entire existence is pushing that taxpayers owe someone something? How do you keep from saying "What do the taxpayers get in return?"

The guy thinks he's king shit because he is 'regularly before the Texas legislature.' When he pulled that on me, I mentioned being before Congress 12 times in the last 3 years and he changed the subject.

If I am remote I go on mute and scream or I if I am physically there, I leave as soon as I can and smoke a cigarette and/or scream...

I was in charge of taking the notes, so I have 10 pages of this fucktard and his self aggrandizement that I have to clean up. He actually pulled the 'dirt poor children' comment and I literally banged my head on the table.

I want to strangle someone each time I see "it's" instead of "its".

Put in white text (^this guy is a fucking homo).

You know, that's a possibility. It's not like I'm getting paid to do this.

Or you could do something like "Call Geor! @ 817.457.4521 for a good time" in white letters..

Even his cadence pissed me off. His brilliant idea was paying caregivers more than they are now. When it was pointed out that paying them more would deplete money set aside faster and less hours would be available for the funds, he pretty much shrugged it off and said "But they DESERVE more."

Right, then figure out how to pay for it instead of talking to taxpayers

You were explaining the zimmerman case to Hobie or Seb, right?

Should have told him to fund his pet projects by cutting that exorbitant pension Tx state politicians receive.

The fix is to remove them all from office. Period

A more thorough example would be for the next round of tax wasters to come to Austin and see the rotting corpses of the last round still hanging from the trees, but that seems extreme to some.

Just challenge them to a discussion, eventually they will no longer feel comfortable bringing up politics.
