    It's one of the subtler signs, but the fact that this guy isn't too deeply ashamed to even consider posting his opinions is an incredibly damning indictment of our society in this country, as it rapidly decays into utter depravity.

      The normalization of this stuff is creepy beyond belief.

      He is typical of our era. He's selfish, arrogant, and awful in every way. Look at this covid stuff.

      Jun 19, 2022...

      Some personal news:

      I have contracted the novel coronavirus.

      Tweet

      Jun 20, 2022...

      Me after spending all day walking around in nice weather: Manhattan is amazing, why did I ever leave?

      [checks real estate prices]

      Oh.

      Tweet

      It was clear he wasn't just walking alone in parks. I'd bet my life spent time around people to spread the virus everywhere just be a vile fuck.

      Somebody call him "Typhoid Matty".

        Remember when Ari Emanuel was just like "why should we worry about the elderly during COVID, life past 75 isn't worth living anyway!"

          Ezekiel is one of those "thoughtful" super-creeps.

          What a group of three brothers they are (Ari, Ezekiel, Rahm). What a bunch of freaks. Imagine "philosophical" discussions they have at a family gathering like Passover. But I guess the Palestinian question is a toughie. You don't want genocidal conversations on that particular observance.

          Ezekiel is 65 and I'm sure he's full of shit. If he gets a bad cancer at 76 - he's not going to simply say "Oh, this is fine. In fact - I'm already one year over the limit! I'll go into hospice care and wait for the end."

          He's going to want the world's best medical care. And he's going to get it. And he won't even have to fight his insurance company for it. Rahm will make some phone calls and it'll all be paid for.

              The weird thing is I didn't even notice. I googled Ari to find out how old the doctor was for my joke. And I was confused for a few seconds. Wait. Ari isn't the doctor?... Oh, that's right - he's the skivvy agent.

        Can you not see replies to replies on Nitter? I can't so I don't see anything that makes it clear he went inside The first tweet was used to start the topic of land use and such it might not been a walk on that exact day

          I'm going to resist the urge to check - but it certainly seemed to me that he was walking around.

          It clear he went inside

          As I remember it - it's not clear. But I'm certain he did. In any case - in 2022 if you were a decent person and you got covid - you stayed in place.

          ---

          Of course I know - besides being an asshole - he's a troll. He could have been trolling by saying he got covid and the very next day making it seem like he was walking around.

              I spent some time paying attention to him once he said he had covid and I don't remember a single tweet that made it seem he was staying inside and away from people.

              For example - I understand if he doesn't want to mention his wife and kids. But if you have a spouse and kids it seems natural to me to at least say something like "It hasn't been much fun being alone and eating alone away from the people in the house."

              The easiest potential troll is that he made up having covid for engagement. I can't explain it well at all but I don't think that's the sort of thing he likes to do. To me his go-to style is to give people the middle finger by saying/doing something in earnest like "Sweatshops are good actually." And then he gives everybody the middle finger again by making a non-apology apology.

          Because I'm crazy - I looked for better tweets even though I knew it was pointless. All I found is that he did more trolling. He didn't say "I only walked outdoors." He mentioned buses but he said he didn't ride in one. He mentioned them because he was "bored".

          I am not riding on any busses! I'm tweeting about transportation policy because I'm bored.

          I will confess to walking outdoors.

          Tweet

          He had a tweet to plug his Substack...

          How getting Covid has changed my views

          And - of course - the article is behind a paywall. I'll stop now because I'm not that crazy that I will keep looking. He won't have tweeted "I went to Starbucks." He likes to play games.
