Can’t wait until all those workers move to European based companies.
Ending remote work is just a way to get people to quit.
Their obvious incompetence is why putin choose them to lead our country.
I’ve been telling people for years, Russia most certainly influenced the outcome of the US elections because they have a huge interest in placing inept, incompetent, easily manipulated fools in power, in their “enemy” countries.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they had something to do with an actor becoming president of Ukraine. They had plans to take Ukraine, and they didn’t want a real politician in power when they tried it.
My theory is that Putin blames the US for destroying the Soviet Union. He blames us for forcing the USSR into a cold war it never wanted and he saw first hand how endless anti-communist propaganda turned the whole western world against the USSR… So now he believes he is doing to the US what we did to the USSR, bombarding us with endless disinformation and propaganda to destroy our country from the inside out.

Believe it or not I’m still thinking about what you said here. Just today I was thinking how ridiculous it was that the same people who condemned communism due to its tendency for corruption due to greed advocated for trickle-down economics, as if it wasn’t subject to the same exact behavioral flaw. Looking back at it almost 40 years later (I was there, I remember the 80s), it comes off like the US didn’t think their shit could possibly stink. The 80s was all about glamorizing capitalistic greed, but it’s almost like trickle-down economics was a communist policy in disguise. I’m definitely not pro-Putin, but I can definitely see why your theory holds water. We gave the Kremlin every reason to hate us. Now it’s our turn to get destroyed by greed and corruption. The same generation who were 20-30 in the 80s and living the greed-life are now 60-70 and filling the seats of congress and the c-suites/boards of corporations.
Wow. That makes a lot of sense and is a take I’ve never heard or thought of.
How the fuck did you idiots end up with musk as an advisor to a mentally challenged president!?
Because half the voting population is idiots.
Especially the half that didn’t vote
It was a joint effort of idiocy.
Wouldn’t work from home allow the government to sell office buildings it doesn’t need, and therefore save money?
Yeah but work from home pisses off two major Republican sub-groups. One- being someone’s boss gives them a woody. A chance to feel like they’re towering over someone else gives them meaning to their life. Two- republicans hate when people have it better than them, thus born the stereotype of it being truly American to work harder for less money. Get those lazy asses back to hard murican labor, and no free healthcare.
Three - they’re heavily invested in commercial real estate and need bodies in suites to throw more gold on their hoard
Thats a great way to make the economy even better!
They just CAN’T let us have something. They don’t even have a good reason to take it from us, they just don’t want us to have it.
Are federal workers unionized in the US? I see the article says some are.
Yes. However, federal trade unions are muzzled in the sense that it is against the law for a federal employee to engage in a strike. It’s been on the books since the 50s, but the balance of power really shifted when Reagan enforced it against 10,000 striking air traffic controllers. Some were incarcerated, and nearly all were blackballed from ever working a government job ever again (though that was eventually rescinded in the 90s). There’s no doubt now that even a “liberal” president would follow suit in the event another illegal strike occurred.
