I've been seeing this and struggling with it for a while now, agree with your assessments of the state of things. My assumption was always nuclear threats due to incompetence, think the Boeing situation but with nuclear reactors. But with the number of crazy old men in charge, the odds are shifting.

Sorry, I was referring to the voters, not you, that was poorly written.

Everything in life has a combo of factors, but sometimes there's an overwhelming trend or an underlying motivation that makes the "other factors" irrelevant.

I'll give you a certain margin for ignorance and horribly misinformed, but I'm from the middle of the country and a very big part of it is racism. This doesn't come from a single poll, it's from a lifetime of experience and reading some American history, I've seen inside their closet.

Nobody is gonna say "I voted that way because I'm a racist" 🤦♂️

It's a tool. Like any tool it's useful in the hands of a skilled professional, potentially dangerous in the hands of the unskilled, and a weapon of destruction in the hands of someone that wasn't hugged enough as a child.

Way too polite, I know access and funding is being threatened, but this capitulation is a disservice.

The NPR interview this morning with Tricia McLaughlin from DHS was horrible. Gave them a platform for lies with minimal fact checking.

When, in fact one should assign the events of the following year to the previous admin due to the lagging indicators. Their calculus is two full years off.

Them: "We need a dashboard."
Me: "You really want me to build a screen crowded with a bunch of stuff that mostly just confirms everything is working as expected?"

I love the term "malicious velocity," those two words say so much.

The system is rigged against third parties seeking to just win one election at the top. Power is built from the bottom up. Take the majority in a few state congresses and elect some governors, then some house reps, and then maybe the left can launch a serious presidential bid.

I think the general consensus is as long as the check clears, all good 👍

25? You're forgetting the child labor initiative. That's how they plan to do all this without paying a living wage.

Just an alternative perspective... my wife is chemically sensitive (and I'm more sensitive lately too), commercial buildings are often toxic. When I was remote I got into the best shape of my life, eating healthier and exercising for just 5-10 min throughout the day. Also, way less stress.

I'm just spitballin' here, but I think the key is not more "people managers" but rather "program managers" to act as the glue, and you can do more with less in that type of role. Also, work remote but travel for focused in-person collaboration weeks (one per quarter).

So are you saying the anti-science movement is unscientific? I'm shocked!

Call your senators, write to them, go to the town halls (if they have them and you're able). It's up to the sane people in red states to make those representatives as uncomfortable as possible for every minute that they're complicit. Only their constituents can do that, keep the pressure on.

I suspect something like 80% of global capitalism is just based on grifters exploiting marks.

There are just a lot of mediocre old white men out there that are deathly afraid of losing even a fraction of their unearned privilege and power.

There's no deals, just extortion and performative abuse for political points. You can't make deals with someone who can't be trusted.

They mostly are performative, biggest benefit is buy-in from a sense of co-ownership through a shared experience. Many times I wind up building exactly what I would have without the WS, but I would've faced more challenges along the way with partners and stakeholders.
