It actually looks like a parody account designed to make fun of liberals in Europe.

Well, in Houston I knew a black woman, a former model, who had gotten a M.S. in chemistry who was a quadriplegic. She was a lovely person to talk to and she would talk about playing with the cards life dealt her. She had some movement in her right hand.

She would laugh about how many times a particular oil company had tried to hire her. She kept telling them, "No." But they were sure they could find a slot for her.

She's deceased now, but she outlived her also delightful able bodied husband.

I’m amazed. His posts are funny as shite, trolling the Euros. We know he’s not traveling to England, because he’d be arrested for misinformation.

I’m still waiting for someone to tell me how free healthcare is free.

All it means is someone else will pay for it. Either people who actually pay taxes or another generation as we continue to devalue our currency by printing money.

This dude is an idiot. With this job offer he'd be able to fund healthcare for his entire family, max out retirement savings, pay his taxes, and purchase employer provided life and disability insurance for him and his entire family, and STILL easily clear 200K or more.

How tf is an engineer THIS bad at math?

The "diversity" comment is a dead giveaway that this is fake, but everyone still fell for it.

Looks like? It is yet it was shared on here and people fell for it. So, no I'm not the dumb one that:

A. Thinks everything posted to Twitter is real and true

B. Fell for this obviously fake troll (70% of the crap posted on Twitter falls in this category)

C. Ran here to share it and then participate in debate over a 100% fake Tweet

this is actually worse because most people seem to realize that its fake, but they want to believe its real, so they purposely ignore all the alarm bells in their head and feign outrage

Its insanity

It's along the same vein as the people who share outrage posts from rando twitter accounts that are sometimes multiple years old.

When called out, the response is always "Well, some people never saw it and they need to know because the mainstream media wouldn't report on this." Yet, it's usually some local media site connected to a larger mainstream outlet where you find out how old the video is in the first place.

I cant speak to much on this but I can speak to europe pays engineers WAY less than the USA. That income appears pretty close to what you'd expect for Germany/UK engineer in the consulting world with less than 10 years experience.

Yep. People already have fully formed strongly felt opinions after reading 2 sentences. And that counts as research or getting their news for lots of people these days. But that’s a result of being bombarded with all kinds of “news” in today’s world combined with the short attention spans too many have developed

I've seen many of his tweets that are very left leaning. I guess it could be parody, but it ain't his first parody

Correct.

I usually call events like this an IQ test, but this is both an IQ test and a test of emotional stability.

Is it that far out of the realm of possibility when dealing with woke lefties? They have said and done far stupider things, have they not?
