The American objection to swearing baffles us in Ireland - a sweary land - given everything you do tolerate e.g. mass shootings of children while they are at school. 🤷♀️

It’s fairly obvious that in the hiring process they select for hard right, inhumane, hating-the-poor people. That’s what the government wants to make it hell for people on benefits. They don’t appear to have the same attitude towards corrupt politicians et al.
