The same repressive gubmint that stole a significant portion of her earnings to finance that scam....Only in Moonabtland is she not entitled to recompense.The thing I hated most was how the repressive Government forced her to take Social Security.
The bastards.
It's no happenstance...From her novel Atlas Shrugged:

The recent threads about the Sheetz stores being sued after Biden did not receive a Donald Trump like cheering crowd reception when he went into one is a perfect illustration of that.

Sorry I was a bit slow on this response. Does it end your world? Well, we can hope so, cupcake Here's the deal if you want to employ 'we'.

Biden EEOC sues Sheetz- for failing to hire criminals
As part of the employmentary process for the gas station/ food retailer, they ask about criminal history and won't hire you. This is apparently against the Biden policy. Disqualifying someone from a job just because they are a thief, child molester or drug pusher just isn't allowed and Biden...www.usmessageboard.com
The Sheetz Hits The Fan
The Biden administration is suing Sheetz restaurant chain for discrimination because they do a background check on prospective employees before hiring them. The claim is that this discriminates against blacks and other minorities, which is about as racist as you can get. Assuming that blacks and...www.usmessageboard.com
Get it?
Of course Sheetz doesn't deliberately hire criminals to deal with their inventory, their cash, their thousands of gallons of gasoline and diesel, their customers' credit card data, and their customers' children. They would be idiots not to run background checks for jobs like that.
But . . . the president is offended because store clerks and customers buying that gasoline his policies have made so expensive and his DOJ cranks up the lawfare.
No doubt, the DOJ will be able to show that they have been investigating Sheetz since long before Biden's visit flopped. I'm sure they are investigating all law-abiding people, now that they have decided to stop worrying about criminals. Get on their shit list and the shit will hit the fan for you.
Especially if you've got money, but not Donald Trump money. You need Donald Trump money to stand a chance against them. Small or medium business owner money is only enough for you to go broke trying to save yourself.
Wrong as usual.Same as all of your posts. ...
She could have struck a blow for freedom and refused to be coerced into taking tax payer funds.The same repressive gubmint that stole a significant portion of her earnings to finance that scam....Only in Moonabtland is she not entitled to recompense.
If it's one thing we can count on, it's that you shitlibs are insanely shallow.
"Strike a blow for freedom" by allowing yourself to be robbed?She could have struck a blow for freedom and refused to be coerced into taking tax payer funds.
Refusing tax payer funds comports with her own happiness as the moral purpose of her life."Strike a blow for freedom" by allowing yourself to be robbed?
She sdid not take tax payer fundsShe could have struck a blow for freedom and refused to be coerced into taking tax payer funds.
As a matter of principle
I mean, taking other people's money hardly comports with heroic being, with her own happiness as the moral purpose of her life, with productive achievement as her noblest activity, and reason as her only absolute.*

She could have also refused to drive or ride on tax-funded roads or buy food or other products that were protected by tax-funded police and firefighters. She could have refused any medication that had been approved by the tax- funded FDA.She could have struck a blow for freedom and refused to be coerced into taking tax payer funds.

But, why would she? Nothing in her philosophy required that.
I had read enough to know that she despised government interference, and that she felt that people should and could live independently. She was coming to a point in her life where she was going to receive the very thing she didn’t like.… For me to do my job, she had to recognize that there were exceptions to her theory.… She had to see that there was such a thing as greed in this world.… She could be totally wiped out by medical bills if she didn’t watch it. Since she had worked her entire life and had paid into Social Security, she had a right to it. She didn’t feel that an individual should take help.
Interesting. What was Rand’s response?Well, enjoy your pipe dreams.
Rand herself experienced such a leveling effect in her retirement. After undergoing surgery in 1974 for lung cancer caused by her heavy smoking, she found herself in straitened circumstances.Two years later, she was paired with social worker Evva Pryor, who gave an interview in 1998 about their relationship. “Rarely have I respected someone as much as I did Ayn Rand,” said Pryor. When asked about their philosophical disagreements, she replied, “My background was social work. That should tell you all you need to know about our differences.” Pryor was tasked with persuading Rand to accept Social Security and Medicare to help with mounting medical expenses.When Ayn Rand Collected Social Security & Medicare, After Years of Opposing Benefit Programs

Finally, Rand relented. “Whether she agreed or not is not the issue,” said Pryor, “She saw the necessity for both her and [her husband] Frank.” Or as Weiss puts it, “Reality had intruded upon her ideological pipedreams.” That’s one way of interpreting the contradiction: that Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism, “has no practical purpose except to promote the economic interests of the people bankrolling it”—the sole function of her thought is to justify wealth, explain away poverty, and normalize the sort of Hobbesian war of all against all Rand saw as a societal ideal.
