Probably an experiment by the C-levels to see how far they could actually take it. Benchmarking.

It's pretty bleak yes, our own families sold us out for this shit in their malicious ignorance, I just heard a VA employee tell me an email went out advising all hospital staff to remove rainbow lanyards or stickers or anything "safe space" identifying in their offices, because some patient had complained. This came out while we're helping my gay veteran friend get ready to die of cancer. Cause he shouldn't feel safe in the hospital or anything.

Red states are brain-draining people fast enough, blue cities are where all the hospitals and infrastructure are, and that's all being defunded rapidly. Can you imagine what it would be like if droves of medical and other professionals just left red states - shuttering hospitals and colleges and the like.

When conservatives say "I wish we could just split the country and then we'd prove how our policies are better" I always picture the scenario of them wandering around, trying to get cancer treatment or an MRI.

The majority of people I know with dental issues couldn't afford to have minor things fixed so they turned into major things.

Dental insurance is a joke and lots of people don't even get that joke.

This is how the Democrats communicate their values and intentions. And 30, 40, 100 years ago it would have worked, because the public looked for alternative solutions to problems. Today, the public wants a bully to assertively stand on camera and yell at them. The Democrats don't do that, and it's to their detriment.

But the time for all of this has passed, they're rearranging deck chairs.

So happy when people can make the transition into decent paying, clean work like this. Yeah we all bitch about it, but if you've ever done real hard and dirty work, you know it's actually pretty great to sit and deal with IT problems all day long. Good luck to you.

I'm in the Deep South, I bet by end of week I see a place charging "Fuck China" surcharges.

I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.

It's kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Stick in bike spokes meme.
