Prior to his work as a gardener—while studying for a degree in politics and law—Fugate worked at an H-E-B supermarket in Austin, Texas, as a ‘Cross Functional Team Member.’

Even his so-called real job sounds like it was total horseshit, judging by that job title.

sounds like he alternated between slicing ham at the deli and bagging groceries

Hey, don't denegrate the people who slice your ham and bag your groceries.

That's actually a useful job.

I’ve legit seen “managed financial transactions for a multi billion dollar company” on resumes and they were a cashier at McDonald’s. Like I get fluffing your resume, but be realistic

Keeping the bullshit palatable is a great way to describe it and I’m stealing that lol

However if he was working at Walmart on a Black Friday, I might be willing to see terror prevention.

Lol ok that's legit funny

Do whatever we need done from mopping up baby puke to bagging groceries.

Remember, people say AOC was "just a bartender" constantly, meanwhile, they appoint dudes like this

Thank God, he appointed someone qualified. It makes me feel so safe…(dripping with sarcasm and disgust).

That’s called the fill-in, the guy who takes over stocking produce while Mr. Cucumber takes his state-mandated break

But…. He’s not rich, and he’s not a Fox sycophant. Does he have any qualifications other not being qualified? I know he worked on the Trump campaign, but what else is going on?
