Elite institutions capitulating to fascist takeover in a vain attempt to maintain power?! Color me fucking shocked

Why do you think Bethesda threw this out the door with no warning? It's their last chance to milk oblivion before more competent people step in

It would be very strange at this point to not see him be forced to spin them off. I mean, this is the trump admin. Anything is possible, but this is egregious (and also it would benefit musk if he was forced to do so)

North Korea is balmy too. I just don't get why anyone would risk it

See, you have people like you all over saying "Linux just works" and then you have other users here saying "I have to spend an hour fixing my computer running one of the most user friendly distros every single time the power goes out". I don't know who to believe but both cannot be true simultaneously so which is it?

Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven't even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn't. He's an egomaniac gambling with someone else's money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers

Beyond the very good points already made about it being illegal for them to strike and they could immediately lose all ability to work anywhere in the federal government again, it's imperative you remember the point of DOGE is to get rid of the federal government. Elon and his kiddies are looking for an excuse to close down entire departments of government. If one of them went on strike, they could simply declare that all of them are fired for felony activity and never refill their positions.

Striking in this case is the same as quitting, and none of them want to give in and let their government die. It's the same reason no one is taking the voluntary severance. They're fighting for their government as best they can from where they are. It's all of our job out here to rescue them

Trump is definitely stupid enough to do it without understanding anything. The only question is whether someone with an actual brain can get to him before he tweets about it. Because the second he says it publicly, his narcissistic ego will only allow him to double down regardless of what it does to the US or him personally. Ideally someone would float the idea to him on air

It's a guest contributor to a local paper deep in Mormon country. It's not really hard to add up

I'd rather live in a world where the concept of "copyright" doesn't exist at all. Unfortunately we don't live in that world and art can be exchanged for money. As such, let's stick to trying to keep people from starving rather than pretending this is fine because the concept of capitalism is inherently broken, mkay?

And Vermonters. It's also a fuck you to the state that hates Trump the most.

She's either short sighted or suicidal.

Short sighted: she recognizes that what she's saying is correct in that it would lead to short term gains for the party but fails to recognize the long term effects that allowing "sidelining minorities for political gain" to regain steam it has lost over the past few decades.

Suicidal: she recognizes all of the above is actually absolutely the correct direction for any non-trans democrat who only cares about building party influence to push at this moment and for some god damn reason she's telling the evil fucks all about it in plain English.
