Cue the calls for us to man up and pull ourselves up by the bootstraps.

Not yet. The dissenters haven’t disappeared yet.

Gotta love the occasional non-sequitor.

I agree with the feelings here concerning Republican votes, but I make my personal judgments based on knowing more about the person. It’s a red flag at this point, but there’s more to know before writing a person off. As others pointed out, Buckley was as bad as any modern Maga.

Good people do live in Florida, you know.

Are you implying he’s a Nazi because he disagrees? Interesting. That’s a rather tenuous leap.

Yeah, i am on board with the first two sentences, not taking sides on the last part. People are strange.

So a company that’s been around for at least 30 years that has “America” or “Eagle” in it’s name is proof they support Facism? Bank of America needs to change their name ASAP. I shopped there in my twenties’ and there wasn’t a whiff of neonazism in anything about them.

They might have done that on purpose, but until there is evidence of that, it is anything but definite. Right now, it’s pure feelings judging that. I’m on board with calling them out for being so clueless about the optics, but it will take a bit more for me to conclude they are collaborating in an effort to make fascism normal.

This is exactly what happened to manufacturing and chip making of 40 years of “free trade”. We lack the skilled staff for these jobs.

Continuing on the nursing topic, well before covid there was a shortage of nurses, then the media blitz convinced many people to get degrees… There were so many looking for work that wages plummeted.

It’s all a shell game. The goal is to make the labor suplly huge so they can dictate wages, which they did.

They did it with programmers overthe last ten years… Now nobody can find a job.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!

If your job involves any analysis, you’re next. Once they work out the remaining robotic kinks, labor intensive jobs are cooked. You will not escape.

So now our local duly elected government only exist at the pleasure of our dear leader. It only took 6 months to destroy our country. Six months.

Violent revolutionvapoears to bev5he only remaining option.

Just like he gets to keep his immigrant wife while everybody else’s families are ripped apart, the piss hits his “subjects”, not him.

I’m with Steven Colbert on this one. However, it was a very poor choice of wordplay.

I didn’t read the article, so I’ll just point out that just because the conservatives do do well with chsracter assassination and guilt by assumption due to party affiliation, that does not mean we progressives should follow suit.

Destroy the cruelty, don’t join it.

Or how desperate you have to be to need that job.

Already on that. In progress.

I have to concede that i believe you might be right about that, sadly.

When the only goal by law is maximize profits, the motivation tends to favor minimizing cost. Change the rules, and enforce a new set of values. Only then will the situation improve.

Upon reading the whole thing, it seems Samsung failed to plan for the obvious, as TSMC is doing just fine in the U.S. with the same tech.

I’m incredulous that they only just realized it was a waste of money. Something changed. Either they only built it to get U.S. subsidies, or somerhing the current administration did killed demand. Which is it? I suspect it’s the second option.

Meanwhile, my country just killed all renewable energy support while encouraging more fosil fuel usage and exploration into up to now protected lands and seas.

And that isn’t even the worst of it.

Yeah, that idea of UPS being a means of access is BS. This is the first i heard about that one.

Perhaps the idea behind that depended on the serial/usb connection to enable the server to shutdown and restart when power returns?
