      My dad worked as an accountant for the Orange County government

      Hmm

      brought out the contrarian in me.

      Could you describe how much of a piece of shit you're in a few words?

      I recall being especially horrified by the vicious attacks on supporters of Prop. 8, the California referendum banning same-sex marriage.

      So much for the tolerant left

      I worked at a family-owned frozen yogurt shop that gave me my best lesson in microeconomics and the costs of excessive regulation as well as the value of immigrants.

      Man, those guys really extrapolate their lives to the rest of the world, it's a brain disease

      Also, bragging that you spent your life writing opinion pieces after your high school reporting journalist days isn't the own you think it is (you're the one being owned btw), like why should we care about your opinion then?

          But they're not even contrarians. The author is clearly a sheeple blindy supporting popular opinion, probably because she's still mentally a high schooler where anyone who isn't a brainless, shallow, narcissistic asshole is ostracized.

          We're the contrarians, we're okay with having unpopular but correct opinions.

      I like how the closest thing to hardship this lady mentions is the time she got called a homophobe at Stanford. All of these conservative journalists are adult babies living in daycare.

      I would love for her to go into detail into what she means by this. Small businesses face basically zero regulation anyway in the US. She must mean “I thought everyone else should have been happy to make only $3 an hour” or something like that.

        Probably health regulations such as keep dairy products refrigerated at all times and don't sell spoiled foodstuff

      I wanted to share this with one of my friends for a laugh, but then I realized comedy is dead because the absurd is banal
