CEO: We need to cut costs.

Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.

Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.

CEO: Fire Greg.

@GottaLaff. He is not just a VP pick; he is the VP pick of a 78-year old man who is most likely concealing serious health conditions. The media, as others have already noted, really must bring back the issue of age and cognitive ability, which magically evaporated when the slightly older Biden withdrew from the race. The likelihood of Vance becoming president if god forbid Trump does is significant.

Via #Harris rapid response James Singer:

The stunning cost of #Trump’s #abortion bans.

“Infant deaths surged 12.9% in Texas compared with a 1.8% increase across the rest of the country in the year after the state enacted its strict abortion ban.”
