I think the bigger problem is that parents are forced to feed their kids instant noodles because food prices are out of control.

Welp, if you think time billing is fraud, good luck going after the lawyer that's charging you in hour increments for two-minute phone calls. Three short calls in half an hour? That's three billable hours. Whether you think it's fraud is irrelevant - the law does not, because the people that are in the business of law make a lot of money from that being the case.
"Time theft" only exists for employees. This is by design to protect wealth, like most laws regarding money. It's not fraud to bill for a made-up amount of time, it's literally how all time billing except for employee wages is done. Only "wage earners" are paid by the minute. Some employers actually calculate down to the six second interval (tenth of a minute). Meanwhile, the overnight parking garage gets to round up to the nearest four hour increment. Who's really "committing" anything here - the lady getting her job done quickly, or the folks claiming they overpaid after the job is done?

> I can't just make up hours I worked and bill the company for them.
Actually, that's exactly how most contractors do it.

Perhaps you have to be holding Sweezy? I saw it in a YouTube video, my playthrough had the paperwork minigame and the OP screenshot instead.

If you tell Helen that you're the new boss instead of the new hire, instead of the paperwork minigame, Sweezy declares herself the boss and you get a series of options to order around the teddy bears. One of the options is to make them kill each other.

If you feel the need to design an experiment, then you should do that. I already did and I am reporting my findings to you; I encourage you to falsify them.

The difference is that there are hundreds of very loud, very prominent and very irritating self-proclaimed conservatives literally demonstrating the negative stereotype on the daily, yet there is rarely even a single individual that remotely resembles the caricature cast upon liberals.

Dude, my far right uncle has way more sense than Elmo. You give him too much credit. At least Drunkle Lee has the good sense to not talk shit to the people that buy his alcohol until after the tab is settled.

It is a commonly quoted trope that bear proof trash cans are notoriously difficult to design - not because it is hard to prevent a bear from opening a trash can, but it is difficult to create one that a Republican still can operate.

LOL.
The tweet didn't threaten anyone, it was tasteless rhetoric, and it accused "the left" of being violent.
I swear you could pit the entire collection of Republicans against a basic logic quiz and the combined efforts of all of them would be incapable of yielding a passing grade.

Currently starting a round of popcorn for the Governors of red states to start refusing this money just in time for their state infrastructures to fail, while said Governors blame the Democrats for not doing anything to prevent it in their solidly red state.
