Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

If only we could know who it is, things would be so much different.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 85 points 1 week ago

Christ, what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.

[-] Tm12@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 week ago

Malicious intent x Incompetency = whatever the fuck this is.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

It's an irrational number, that much I'm sure.

[-] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

I wish it were just an imaginary number.

[-] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 week ago

In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Well, time to renegotiate salary, isn't it?

[-] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 22 points 1 week ago

Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.

Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.

[-] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

What, you mean just because Trump is Putin's lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?

you underestimate the power of the hatred that's been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.

they simply won't give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as 'they' get it too.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Thank you for pointing out that there is the right and then there is the far-right too. Things aren’t as binary as many netizens seem to think. Shades. Of. Grey.

[-] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah you're probably right. Reality is a foreign concept to these people.

[-] UnpopularCrow@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

No blunder is big enough to shake up MAGA. Literally nothing will threaten their allegiance to their god-king.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They'd just blame it on "the radical left" and usher in martial law and the great purge.

Oh that'd be nice, but you just know it'll be "Damn Obama! Why did he blow up those nukes!' without a single hint of self-reflection.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

i'd be ghosting those mf'ers, too.

[-] otto@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

What a stupid piece of shit

[-] sirdorius@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!

[-] ThePrimitive@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.

[-] phar@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago

That'd be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.

[-] piecat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm sure they'd be treated extremely well. Usually there's some good incentives to encourage defectors

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I believe some countries don't have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don't know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I don't know either, but a friend of mine is in nuclear research and said that China is investing a lot into nuclear power.

[-] valkyre09@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

It has been like 2 days

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won't leave the white house. I'm absolutely sure of it. It's ww2 all over again.

I've heard WWIV is expected to be pretty lame in comparison. Something about shitty weapons in the future. So we're really lucky to get to enjoy this one.

[-] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I'm kinda looking forward to that one. No more overpowered one-hit bullshit.

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just because this is a common enough mistake, I'm going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.

It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago

Everyone knows it is Martian Law

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Then the few people who don't are very prolific commenters because it's a mistake I see often.
