Once again, I am not arguing the morality of what the administration did or what the employees should do in response. Only the practicality. The process for squeezing the government for a non-standard work arrangement will take months and probably involve legal battles. These people have lives to get back to.

I’m not arguing with you, just pointing out that it’s not a simple thing. Most people, maybe all of them, will just take their old job back, or go elsewhere.

Public sector employment terms can’t just be renegotiated on the fly. That used to be part of why they were relatively stable and safe.

It’s too early to take the black pill. All that’s needed for the House to be a check on the executive is 1 republican to cross the aisle. The less popular Trump is, the easier that gets.

“No, we should focus on the problem that politicians still partially answer to voters.”

Must be unnerving to know when you’re going to die, since retirement won’t really be a thing anymore.

Zweistein? The STR chad?

So he’s not really a werehouse, he’s more of a werewarehouse.

How do you think new werehouses are made?

We could do (and have done) a lot worse. My only concern is whether or not he has the backbone to refuse to be steered to the right, the way Kamala was after the convention. His Midwestern politeness definitely didn’t serve him well in the debate.

The problem is “kissing donor ass” is a euphemism for serving themselves.

I know McDonald’s has been having a rough time recently, but I don’t think expanding into that market is the answer.

One of the main architects of the status quo democrats thinks democrats need to respond to getting stomped by maintaining the status quo? Color me shocked.

Ewww, gross, it’s the poor.

Russia, if you’re listening…

To the people hoping a huge dip in their numbers on this one day will scare them: These megacorporations have set themselves up for consumers to be dependent on them. Even if we have a great turnout for this one-day boycott, it’s still a boycott that asks negligible sacrifice from consumers. The corporations won’t be worried that a big one-day boycott means consumers are poised to actually do real damage to them.

Only thing I’ve heard about is cutting all their DEI programs.

we want them to not want to go to work

Mission accomplished

because they are increasingly viewed as the villains

Misson spectacularly failed. There’s never been more sympathy for federal workers. They made Republican members of congress not want to go to town halls because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.

This should be brought up every time somebody says they’re trying to make the government more efficient. That’s an obvious lie covering for the fact they’re trying to cripple the government’s ability to do anything.

We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can’t do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.

Anyone who demands better proof than that is being unreasonable.
