Can't wait until all those workers move to European based companies.
Thats a great way to make the economy even better!
They just CAN'T let us have something. They don't even have a good reason to take it from us, they just don't want us to have it.
Their obvious incompetence is why putin choose them to lead our country.
I've been telling people for years, Russia most certainly influenced the outcome of the US elections because they have a huge interest in placing inept, incompetent, easily manipulated fools in power, in their "enemy" countries.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had something to do with an actor becoming president of Ukraine. They had plans to take Ukraine, and they didn't want a real politician in power when they tried it.
My theory is that Putin blames the US for destroying the Soviet Union. He blames us for forcing the USSR into a cold war it never wanted and he saw first hand how endless anti-communist propaganda turned the whole western world against the USSR.... So now he believes he is doing to the US what we did to the USSR, bombarding us with endless disinformation and propaganda to destroy our country from the inside out.
Well done! That is incredibly interesting insight. It makes total sense, I think you're completely right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm going to let that marinate in my brain for a good while.
Wow. That makes a lot of sense and is a take I've never heard or thought of.
Wouldn’t work from home allow the government to sell office buildings it doesn’t need, and therefore save money?
Yeah but work from home pisses off two major Republican sub-groups. One- being someone's boss gives them a woody. A chance to feel like they're towering over someone else gives them meaning to their life. Two- republicans hate when people have it better than them, thus born the stereotype of it being truly American to work harder for less money. Get those lazy asses back to hard murican labor, and no free healthcare.
Three - they're heavily invested in commercial real estate and need bodies in suites to throw more gold on their hoard
How the fuck did you idiots end up with musk as an advisor to a mentally challenged president!?
Because half the voting population is idiots.
Especially the half that didn't vote
It was a joint effort of idiocy.
Ending remote work is just a way to get people to quit.
Are federal workers unionized in the US? I see the article says some are.
Yes. However, federal trade unions are muzzled in the sense that it is against the law for a federal employee to engage in a strike. It's been on the books since the 50s, but the balance of power really shifted when Reagan enforced it against 10,000 striking air traffic controllers. Some were incarcerated, and nearly all were blackballed from ever working a government job ever again (though that was eventually rescinded in the 90s). There's no doubt now that even a "liberal" president would follow suit in the event another illegal strike occurred.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
