Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My GF's boss to her when she said she didn't want to be in a managerial position for their company:
"I guess you don't have the entrepreneurial spirit!"
Meanwhile they're paying salaries using money from equipment subventions and using money from said subventions as proof that they have liquidity to get more subventions... They don't hire labourers because it's cheaper to use technicians for which they get 85% of the wage back (subventions again) and make them work as labourers...
To my understanding having an entrepreneurial spirit (literally means the mind for enterprise) would mean yr girl would be leaving to start her own company, not sticking around someone else's.
Maybe dumbfucko grant cheat she calls a boss meant ambitious. Ambitious like, y'know, Janel Grant, right?
My original message lacked some context, she's basically left on her own to expand the business in a new direction when she was originally hired to do research and offer the new services to the clients. So she doesn't care that she doesn't have the entrepreneurial spirit because her goal isn't to run or start a business (even though she was self employed and making good money just two years ago), but being told that by her two bosses that clearly can't run a business by following any type of rules and that have had to skip paycheques in the past (before her time)? That's insulting as fuck.
