I once bought an entire IKEA store for $4999.99. It lasted longer than a typical Trump appointee.

A thousand dollars will buy a really nice chair. Add another thousand and you can have it reupholstered in leather. I really can’t see how it’s possible to spend more than that on an office chair without patronizing a shop that specializes in separating fools from their money.
Then again, I am perpetually amazed by the reckless waste of money that high income people indulge in (and then whine about how they aren’t rich and can barely make ends meet). It’s like the minute their income goes above six figures, they lose the ability to be content with ordinary things and start spending money like mad on useless frills.

She is a textbook Deep Stater. Exactly what the Trump admin loves to hate, and one of the few things holding us back from the abyss, at this point.

I still have my fingers crossed that there are a whole bunch of secret ‘Kingslayers’ working in the WH, covertly stabbing 45 and his admin in the back whenever they get the chance.

No no no, we’re all missing the point. $5,000 won’t buy a decent chair *under government contracting rules." This is Ben complaining about red tape, not Ben whining about decoration budgets! /s
