@timcushing.bsky.social Not sure what to think, here. As a former gov't employee, I was told my employer could regulate my speech on the job and not run afoul of the 1st amendment. Was my union wrong?

Say what you will about policy decisions, unpopular legislation from a minority party enabled by gerrymandering and unopposed lies, but this is scary, folks.

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.
