    If they’re advertising a price lock and not delivering a price lock how are they not being hit with the long arm of a government agency for false advertising?

          Pretty sure some of the squad voted to stop the rail union from striking.

          We deserve better representation, and we get that through state level electoral reform. We need to take the First Past the Post handcuffs off and start working on our many problems.

          Replaced by the ruling capitalistic class decades ago? When exactly have we ever not been ruled over by these people?

          As someone who considered Suits somewhat of a guilty pleasure, that ad is absolute mirthless garbage lol. The top comment on the video is spot on.

      They look so old, it’s like seeing someone you haven’t seen since high school and they just look old and run down.
