Ive had many people of both genders tell me that men just make better bosses.
And they don’t see that as sexist but just as fact. Sigh.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and I can tell you that there are good and bad male and female bosses. While the best boss I've had is a guy, I'd say that the female bosses I've had have been generally better than the male bosses.

that you're going to have jerks for bosses sometimes and really good people other times. Either gender can be either type.

Funny story. I had a colleague who has since retired that exposited what she called the AM theory of humanity.

She said people are either assholes or morons. Get it? AM?

The worst possible situation, though, is when you get an asshole who is also a moron, as in Trump. Can you imagine working for that bag of you-know-what? That would be a living hell.

But Warren? She's great. She'll be a find president because she has a fine vision, and she is a fighter.
