what's important in the work world

It's not whether you can do the work, but whether you make the ones who can't feel threatened.
It's not whether you're competent, but whether you make the incompetent feel stupid.
It's not whether you know the right way to do something, it's whether you're willing to do it the wrong way.
It's not whether you buy into the scam, but whether you make the ones who do feel like chumps.

About framing

Which campaign would gather more support?

"Reject First Past The Post"

Why? Because now the Green ticket has zero experience in governance, and the operation and use of U.S. Military apparatus.

Another week flew by. The Olympics started and Brazil (Brasil) pays a heavy price. Here they are in the midst of a coup by an oligarchy that can't even cheat their way to the presidency, so they just out right steal it. Public servants doing without pay to prop up the extensive costs of the games including security that abuses them. Then there's Turkey and Russia are joining forces after the coup, as we escalate attacks in Libya.
