So a quick search suggests air traffic controllers make around $75,000 annually. $875 million would pay the salaries of 11,666 air traffic controllers for a decade at that wage.
Even considering inflation, training, medical, etc that $875,000,000 could pay for thousands of hired Amemricans for a decade. Republicans are literally the worst.
I know you don’t care but the fish thing has to do w symbolism not ethical constraint. Just fyi
I don’t think the articles in New Yorker are bad. I do think the illustrations are outstanding, but their cartoons are mostly overrated, artistically conservative, generic fare, imo.
Re: the bad typeface, my guess this may have a comic that was submitted for the New Yorker but rejected, so the cartoonist just published it wherever b/c I agree, I don’t think the NYer would eff that up. Just guessing tho
What a horribly lazy pun, brought to us by the most overrated school in all of comicsdom, the New Yorker Style.
Wow, I take it back, absolute genius. Best cartoonists in the World.

I mean, yeah?
EDIT: I want to elaborate b/c the situation is intentionally drawn to be generic so that it can use any text.
Think about this comic, what about the art would lead you to believe it has anything at all to do with oil? Nothing, but it fits just as well as just about anything else b/c it was designed specifically to be generic trash. That’s like my whole point, man.
Also, yeah, “guy walks into a bar” jokes are ass. Puns, too. I’m on the fence about puppies.
Sure, how about,
“We should have brought a bigger probe.”
Or how about,
“I guess we’ll see if they still fling their poop.”
Or for some topical flare, how about,
“You sure about this? These guys have a terrible reputation with aliens.”
All of these slightly change the context w/o the need to change the art.
I’m fairly certain a number of these cartoonists either “meal prep” a bunch of illustrations to caption later or maybe even sell the illustrations to the New Yorker who then have writers create the captions. I can’t say but imo it makes for bland cartoons 9 out of 10 times.
One thing I really dislike about New Yorker comics is the lazy, generic nature of the art that is totally divorced from the punchline.
For example, this shitty comic could literally have any caption & it would make no difference. They even have caption contests where readers can come up with punchlines
NY cartoons are factory farm trash fight me
I read somewhere (who knows where) Red Reader focuses on visual impaired accessibility features so Reddit Corp waives the api fees. I assume it’s cheaper for them than developing accessibility features into the official app.
The one on the right is Bibi, but the guy on the left I can’t place
If this was Reddit this entire thread would be nuked. So refreshing!
