In all of the 35 years I worked in IT, I have never seen such a cruel method of reducing staff.
Why would anyone work for a company that treats its employees so badly.
MS had a net income of $88.1 billion in 2024 and they wouldn't give severances.
THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT!

With Trump, Musk, the rest of the MAGA crowd and the compliant Republicans the cruelty is the point!

As an American, I hope that Canada continues to remove US whiskey from their shelves until the threat of tariffs by trump is eliminated.
Canada should also continue labeling products as Canadian or US.

Musk has been called the President, but it is clear he should be called Fuhrer Musk #FuhrerMusk

I have heard of this entirely unqualified WH employee.
Is it a good idea to report DUI hire Pete Hegseth to [email protected]?

You need to remove your account on Bluesky.
We can't afford bipartisanship with these facists.
We need younger and aggressive leadership.
Please retire.

As a 68 year-old white guy I have been a life-long democrat. I am sad to say I will reregister as “No Party/None”.
The Democrats have to fight every step of the way.
Acting like Republicans are normal is insane.
Show me one Biden cabinet member that all of the republications voted for!

And Diet Pepsi is now my backup.
It is so disgusting that so many billionaires/oligarchs are sucking up to trump.
It amazes me that so many CEOs don't mind alienating so many of their customers. I guess they figure they will personally get even richer.

So f'ing evil it is inconceivable.
But also how monumentally stupid.
I could be wrong, I bet that with the huge loss of property and businesses the taxes California sends to Washington will be greatly reduced.
The longer it will take for revenues return to pre-fire levels.

Why can't Biden direct the FBI to release Hegseth's FBI report.
This is why as a life long Democrat I am so disappointed in our leadership.
We don't play hardball!

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has reported that between 1995 and 2021, federal farm subsidies totaling $478 billion were distributed. The top 10% of farms have received a disproportionate share of these subsidies, with estimates suggesting that they receive around 70% to 78% of the payments.

I ask grok about farm subsidies and how much goes to large corporations.
DOGE should look at this

Please don't use "entitlement programs" for social security and medicare.
That is a Republican pejorative term implying that the benefits aren't earned by the people that use them.
I paid into SS and Medicare for almost 50 years.
I damn well know I earned my benefits.

It is past time for Pelosi to retire.
I am 68 years old, I don't have time for the old democratic leadership to retire.
We need to force them out to put younger leaders like @aoc in leadership roles.

AOC I am a 68 year old lifetime Democrat.
I was so disappointed to see Nancy Pelosi engineer another old white guy to lead the Oversight Democrats.
We Democrats so need to pass the leadership to younger Democrats.
In no way am I progressive, but I can recognize leadership when I see it.

I find your article very interesting, but honestly I think you need to explore the racism and misogyny in the US.
I am not convinced that there is much we could have done to overcome trump without dealing with the elephant in the room.
