Districts are nice in that you have a local representative beholden to you(ish) that you can bring issues to.

That happened with Windows 8 and Vista as well. There was a running joke that every other Windows release was garbage when I was growing up.

And the joke works with 8 and 10 both being shitty, because they skipped 9, which would have been the good one.

They really should have gone with Windows Nine, to bring the naming scheme in line with Xbox One while also avoiding the startswith.('Windows 9') issue

Trump has addressed the wrong city during speeches a bunch of times. Wrong state a few times too, iirc

Unfortunately the good apples and bad apples are generally in entirely different barrels (churches), so the good apples don't have much chance to influence the bad ones

Which works fine as long as you don't mind keeping your worst employees, while all your best ones quit, which is generally the opposite of how it works during layoffs

There's one important difference: with layoffs, Amazon gets to selectively lay off their worse performers. With mass-quitting, the quitters will be the people who will have the easiest time finding a new job, which I bet is mostly the high-performers, not the low ones
