Sorry, but I am confident that most reders without an agenda here understood the comparison (not an analogy) precisely.
The automakers committed suice, led by their overpaid executives who agreed to outrageous unsustainable future benefits to the unions, so long as they were taking their checks home, for millions.
They laughed all the way to the Barbados.
You didn't just arrive from Mars, did you?
I have no agenda other than good government. A balance of power is an essential element of that.
Is it possible to discuss that without questioning my age, accusing me of having an agenda, and asking if I’m from Mars?
