   “To not hear this, I’d pay” is awkward.

   But “I’d pay not to hear this” isn’t. And it doesn’t split the infinitive either!

   Hadn’t run across that one. Or maybe just don’t remember it. Either way: Thanks for the laugh!

   That’s NOT OUR JOB!

   Though it sure does feel like it a lot of the time.

   They’re not morons. They’re CULTISTS.

   Sarah Booze isn’t able to understand your (or my) point. Maybe they haven’t encountered real refugees (or camps). Maybe they simply don’t recognize the humanity of folks from “far far away” … but most probably, they’ve never lived in a situation where it was simply impossible to move on, find work, etc. and cannot imagine that such places exist.

   Yes, “some”. Not all corporations are huge or dodging their fair taxes. One very local brewery, for instance, is a corporation. They employ about 20 or so people all told, run a deli in front and brew what my son tells me is excellent beer (I don’t tolerate the flavor of hops, so I mostly avoid beer, particularly the fancier small-run ones).

   You think being that rich isn’t obscene? Why?

   I, too, will avoid hyperbola here. Partly because I know a person who had a brain tumor removed whose personality and apparent intelligence suffered not a bit. Though is boy did wonder out loud whether there’d be trouble when they let the vacuum out… a story he still likes to tell.

   As far as I can tell from this distance, rfkjr has ALWAYS had a tendency to prefer whacko ideas.

    And where the infinitive is indicated by a different ending to the word, not a helper word. So you simply CANNOT split an infinitive in Latin. Unless you engage in tmesis, of course.
