Simplicity rearranged

“Like a business,” they said

The idea that the US should be “run like a business” has been popular with the republic party for decades. Like many of the slogans they parrot, the actual thinkers in the party almost certainly don’t agree with it, but recognize it as a convenient talking point that will convince their base.

Now they’ve got a “businessman” in charge, but as everybody can see, the orange baby’s notion of “running a business” is not what decent people think of. The orange baby has for its whole career “run a business” on the basis of ignoring legalities, fairness, and decency, and avoiding any hint of responsibility. That’s not a business; that’s a gang.



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
