id love to see a follow up from this person in 12 months when tariffs and other idiocy wreck havoc on consumer prices
"Why would the Democrats do this?"
"Prayers for our President fighting so hard for us!!!! Hope it pans out soon!!!!"
"I don't really follow politics."
Don't forget:
"Congress needs to pass the Save America Act* to give Trump the power he needs to fix this!"
I just want to say your comment reminded me of just how close we are to losing everything. So thanks for that. 🤷
Also, very prescient, cleverly worded, and necessary 👍
Just remind folks with one sentence: "The Republicans won the house, Senate, and presidency - why would they let this happen?"
"The Deep State"
The Derp State.
Also, reading into it, it appears this person is a state employee so let's see how far their paycheck goes when elmo comes to make things more "efficient"
Maryland's a blue state, so they'll likely be insulated from the worst consequences.
Depends. Maryland is home for a ton of federal workers. Lots of money on the table which trickles down to other businesses
That's all indirect, so they won't make the connection.
They’ll use any excuse they can to cut federal funding to blue states, to force them to adhere to new rules and regulations. Not sure how insulated they really are.
Don't worry, if that happens, they'll just blame the evil Democrats in the state for doing it to them. Perfect blame distribution.
Maryland is a corporate blue state. The beatings will continue until workers stop protesting.
At the meeting for employees with concerns about the 'efficiency' drive
Elon: "ok, anyone with the time to come to a meeting like this is clearly not busy enough, you're fired"
Does Lemmy have a remindme bot? I'd love to set one to link me back here in 12 months lol
Just share the post link to your calendar.
unfortunately if they're dead by then we won't get a follow up post
Remember Elon Musks promise of “hardship” for American working class (as opposed to whatever this is now) once he engages in making efficiency cuts.
And their 401k has been decimated by trumps tweets just like last time he started talking tariffs
