    I started my career trying to work in politics. Now I sold my soul to the tech industry where I can at least earn a living.

      You have to remember, there are always more openings for arsonists than architects. The republicans aren’t hiring nobody’s because they believe you deserve a free shot, they are paying pennies on the dollars for your morality.

      I may not agree with what the liberals are building, but at least they are building something.

        I think I see what you are saying but that’s a terrible metaphor. Is it an old saying I didn’t know? I don’t think arsonist is a paying job; there are waaaaayyy more opportunities to be an architect than to professionally illegally set buildings on fire.

          There are only 37,000 members of the Army Corp of Engineers and there are 452,000 members of the US Army in total!

          Clearly that means there are more than 10x as many arsonists as architects!
