If they actually want a cease fire, it is to regroup, and reorganize their military, for another attempt, with a build-up based on what they learned from this war. They may also try putting another puppet in during the down time too. Putin, and the oligarchs, largely want to restore their empirical status, and power.

The peak employment number for GME was 27,000

I am not sure which one, the letter just says “under current executive order”, and it killed a program that granted supplemental coverage for a variety of different drugs, and other treatments, that meet whatever requirement, so drugs I take for polycystic kidney disease are now denied to me. Also another long term therapy for complications with my spina bifida might get the axe, the order was blocked, but since this requires there to be secured future funds for them to approve it. Now they are looking at the instability of this situation as a reason to drop it until things stabilize.

Many conservatives around me are now deeply regretting voting for trump, because it has put their lives in turmoil, for similar reasons to mine, I live in an apartment building for people with disabilities. When you vote against basic QOL, even against your own interest, often because you were too ignorant to know anything about what you voted for (many people here are saying they heard that he supported one, or two, things they liked, and wanted to MAGA, and are not “political enough” to know everything else, and didn’t really know what tariffs are), and supported out-right bigots, and numerous other things, well, you deal with the consequences of it. Reactionary party support for shit like this will earn you hate. No I am not defending the DNC, they are corporate own imperialists who are responsible for the disenfranchisement of the working class. However voting for bald faced fascism shows a lack of empathy, and therefore you lose a lot of empathy for your own plight. Trust me, I live in Appalachia near norther WV, it is very poor here, very working class, and very desperate, very conservative. A lot of people here are now regretting their vote because they lost a lot of compensation, at their jobs, due them changing the budget to get a year+ worth of materials before the tariffs. Even the c-suite had to take cuts, and several major employers are eyeing moving to the EU. Some are still doing strong mental gymnastics to justify their support, however, as their income dwindles, and they struggle even more to support heir families, hopefully they will begin to look for alternatives. The tide is shifting back to being in favor of unionization, and general collective bargaining, so there is hope.

Trump is the one who fucked up the treatment I need to live. Literally his orders have stopped it.

The point of saying the pain, etc., is because you were saying everyone here are privileged to the point where they complain about “only” making 80k a year, and live easy lives, with little struggle. There are tons of people on lemmy who are poor, and working class, and marginalized.

Correct, it is me that kills all the children in your area.

Guess I am just hallucinating my constant pain, disability, and the turmoil I am currently going through with my insurer because of what trump doing, and how it affects a treatment I literally need to live. Clearly his actions haven’t changed anything but people not putting pronouns on their e-mail.

You are the one out of touch here.

Yeah I have beta access due to spending in POE1, just the way I read the comment I was worried I missed some news, or something, that it won’t be FTP any longer, for some reason.

Isn’t POE2 FPT?

Where the map you are on requires you fighting your way upward, something like a skyscraper, to get to the top to an extraction point

because you make fun of one thing you don’t like, does that somehow mean you do not like them for only that? Does it mean you think that is the biggest reason to not like them?

You keep coming at this from the angle I am mad people lose their jobs. I am not, they will very likely find work without a huge issue. The problem is the government, that I pay taxes to, is using uselessly less efficient methods of operation, out of a combination of spite, and the desire to meet the project 2025 quota of turning people over to those who will kiss the ring.

You are like a con-man who thinks everyone else is also a fraud because you can’t imagine people thinking drastically different than you, about the same things. That and the crabs in a pot mentality of “you can’t have it better than I did! if things get better, that’s not fair to me! now get back down here and suffer with me.”

That is fine, I can still question their stance until it comes down to just admitting there is a bad reason, or, at least, and very poorly reasoned one.

I don’t just think that. There is a lot of data backing that up, and yes, for every company forcing back to office, there is another capitalizing on their loss of talent.

This is the government, this is about efficiency, and what can be demonstrated with evidence, not how you feel about something.

You are VERY HAPPY they are moving back to a more wasteful model?

So you want to pay for a less efficient system? Like, intentionally?

Also, most WFH employees aren’t working for the government. The government lags behind the private sector, even in the most highly WFH industries, like IT, and law.

WFM models are more efficient, so forcing people back to the office is less efficient. He has no proof people aren’t doing their jobs, and the proof there is is against him. He is doing spiteful boomer shit, or is stupid, or is trying to legally dump as many workers as he can to replace them with those who will express fealty to him, maybe all three.

So he wants to get rid of people working in the office during times their job doesn’t require it?

Which one is that?

Or, hear me out, we dump the inefficient operating model, and move on, instead of bending knee to oligarchs.
