Recession
There is a new blog post entitled, “An impatient capitalist god demands human sacrifice. Now.”
We all have found our ways to keep our spirits up during these trying times. Mine just happens to fill up my freezer. #LateLateShow pic.twitter.com/dqA32d5lU1

Nancy Pelosi attached a video to her tweet revealing she has some very nice looking (apparently each costing over $11,000) large refrigerators/freezers in her kitchen, exposing her hoarding capacity.

You have two of these while people can't afford food. Did it ever occur to you to – oh, I dunno – maybe NOT broadcast video of your bougie-ass kitchen while millions are out of work and you aren't doing shit to help them? https://t.co/wwBW2Q3Bt7 pic.twitter.com/7RA0o4MXfb

She has like 150 dollars worth of ice cream in that fridge and the centrists were getting mad because I said it was privileged. pic.twitter.com/m0hzn0tKeu

Even forgiving the fact of the ice cream, and the fact of a brand of the stuff I’ve never even heard of, more than one commented that there’s far better ice cream to be had in San Francisco (Pelosi’s house is in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, overlooking the Marina district and almost certainly with a view of the nicer parts of the San Francisco Bay, including Alcatraz, Angel Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Marin County).
