Looking presentable is a priority no? I mean they’re not dressed like British barristers, but I also think showing up to a legislature in a hoodie and shorts is trashy
I’m also going to get down voted to hell, but I feel like pants and a shirt without a pouch or hood isn’t asking too much.
They don’t have to be expensive clothes, but when I worked in retail I had to wear khakis and a nice shirt. it seems like an elected representative would dress better than a cashier at Walmart.
Christ on a shitstick. Look around. You think our problem is that some dude wore a goddamn hoodie? No, looking presentable is not a fucking priority. Maybe you’ll realize that when you have a $657,190 medical bill to pay for a sick child or something.
Look, I’m all for raising the minimum wage, and if it ever comes across the ballot I would always vote yes. But this is such a shit take, of fucking course dress code is easier to deal with than the economics of the whole country. If you’re going to critique the government, make sense at least.
Yeah, I hate how normalized these shit comparisons are for arguments.
One effects a few hundred people and doesn’t really have much depth to it and is relatively inconsequential . One is extremely complicated involve a large percentage of Americans lives.
It’s like saying “Oh look, Biden had time to make a Truth Social account but not stop the war in Gaza. Wtf”
I am not putting any opinions on anything besides how disparate comparisons have become…but the fact that these type comparisons are constantly repeated online does reflect a lot on Internet culture.
Fuck’s sake, we don’t pay these cunts for theatrics and the resolution of trivial matters that they deem to be problems. They could all wear fucking jeans and a t-shirt for all I give a shit. These assholes are OUR EMPLOYEES, and they’ve been fucking us over since time immemorial. Yeah, no fucking problem - it’s $1M+ for any old shitbox in much of the country; half of the fucking cunts are authoritarians who are nakedly trying to take away our rights; economic stratification is worse than ever; 2nd in line to the Prez believes in fucking fairy tales and wants to subjugate everyone who doesn’t; I could go on ad infinitum, but no, let’s fucking worry about the clothes these fucking cunts have on, yeah?
Would love to see some bipartisan support for banning congress members from trading stocks. Both sides are doing it to such a degree that they are more likely to be replaced before any legislation regarding this gets passed.

need a retirement age for all public employees. I mean let them get paid to do nothing where we don’t have to listen to them pretending to do serious stuff.
I’m old enough to remember when China raised the mandatory retirement cap from 70 to 75 and American journalists lost their fucking minds, insisting that President Xi (who turned 71 in the '23 election cycle) had committed some kind of unconstitutional legislative coup de tat.
A few months later, Dianne Feinstein died in office at age 90 and we were all told to celebrate how democratically her final two terms in office had shaken out.

Oligarchy at it’s finest

any publicity is good publicity and maybe he can use this platform to get his messages across
Epic hoodie man calls for full-blown genocide of Palestinians, crowd goes wild
Isn’t insider trading literally illegal tho?
Not if you’re a member of Congress.

His hoodie shtick is a PR stunt to make him more appealing to people like you who lap it up.
Big brain over here. I don’t give a flying shit what he wears. But if it pisses off idiots, that’s entertaining.
If feterman cared about your child’s medical bills he’d put on a tie like a grown up, instead of wasting time with this shit.

I see your point and still agree with the OP. All this dress code did was make them look like fools and children.

Their priorities are “fuck you got mine”
I mean they kinda always had it out for hoodies.
Mel Brooks said it best.

wonder what chinese get per month at retirement. I’m guessing I’ll end up w/ about $3k/month before deductions, from SS.
Whatever they get, they start earning it when they turn 60. Chinese retirement is crazy low, and the cost of living there is incredibly cheap.
