A day *at* Uranus? What in the grammar is that?

I'd take it if I were PAID $50,000. That should cover the costs of ripping the battery out and doing an EV conversion on my '97 Defender.
Even then I'd be conflicted.

I mostly enjoyed S1 and 2. Lot of big swings that don't land but the ones that do really do. And the S2 finale has some really frustrating parts but also some of the most achingly beautiful cinematography in all of Star Trek.

Firing still has the stigma of being fired for cause. Layoffs = fired for the whim of upper management.
The people being let go are no more at fault than the people displaced by the LA fires.
Personally I think the most appropriate term is "fucked over".

A lot of them are. But plenty are quite smart and they're going along in lockstep.

Thing I don't get is why aren't they moving to protect THEIR OWN power? This path leads right to a neutered legislative branch, and I thought all these psychos got into politics for power and feeling important.

The Roman Republic succumbed to the same. Checks and balances and norms and customs cease to matter if they aren't viciously pursued.

The social contract right now is in a quite tattered state. So I don't think he's wrong. I just don't want broligarchs sketching out the updates.

This. They've been "testing the fences" to see what they can get away with and so far it seems to be anything.
