I think it's both.
They're so arrogant after years of standing above "the help" that they literally can't conceive of facing the same consequences as the rest of us. It's a hubris that metastasized into genuine stupidity.
I really wanted to get a new tattoo or a new piercing for myself for my birthday, but that shit ain't happening.
"...Oh, you wanted us to put air holes on the plexiglass boxes? In hindsight that makes a lot of sense..."
On a side note, I would do terrible on debate where I had to sit in an office chair. I'd absolute twist around in circles and scoot side to side a bunch. I'd look like even more of a crank than usual.
I'd do the stereotypical bi thing and not sit in it properly, I'd be perched on that seat like a bizzare angry bird for 3 hours straight
Within fifteen minutes I'd hoist myself up and set cross-legged in that thing. Maybe that would make me look cooler idk.
That's definitely better than slouching down so far your ass is basically on the floor and your head is resting on the lumbar support.
Does anybody else do the reverse cross-legged thing, where you put your foot underneath your knee instead of on top?
At ten minutes I would be sitting with my legs pulled up like I do with a blanket on the couch.
Yeah it's creepy, really fucking sinister. Even back when I wasn't really able to articulate why I thought the American obsession with all that crap was weird.
lmao it has been said already, but literally every single retail store I've been to has better protection than this. I saw some right wingers trying to spin this one so hard that Kamala is scared to debate so she wont do it, and they have NOT learned a single fucking thing in the last week lol
I don't know, I just wanted something more... EVO grand finals no items, fox only, final destination. The advent of the color television came too fast for the aesthetics of the highest position on Earth. Going onto this stage should be more nerve-wracking than getting to an octagon for an MMA match. This looks bright and guady - somewhere people would take a test or recite their lines than argue for the future of the free world. It looks like a skit for a late night comedy show.
This is of course, a discourse on set design beyond how terrible America is and how bad and war crime-y the institution of presidency is.
it's so funny how they make the VPs sit, really puts them in their place
Literally the second corona became a thing, the korean family corner store that I buy smokes and drinks from put up a better barrier than this amd had mandatory masks as soon as there wasn't a mask shortage. And this is a small family with another corner store 500m from them and several drug stores and gas stations within a kilometer. I think at this rate they just want to be able to say "sorry, everybody is sick for unknown reasons, no election this year"
everyone on stage repeating "covid no covid" three times before the debate would do just as well
