My philosophy has always been give till it hurts. Well, like many of us, it's hurting now. And that part doesn't make me mad. What does, is that I can no longer help those I've been helping for years. That's what kills me.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

So, here’s the question: Are companies unintentionally incentivizing disloyalty, or are employees naive for expecting their loyalty to be rewarded?"

And the loyal employees, the ones carrying the knowledge, cleaning up the mess, training the new people, are lucky to get a 3% bump each year. I’ve seen employees get underpaid by tens of thousands of dollars simply because they stayed too long.

The people who stay the longest often get punished the most. New hires get market-rate salaries (and sometimes more). “Job hoppers” jump every 18–24 months and see 15–30% raises.

I miss being happy. I miss being carefree. I miss the old me.

@realdonaldtrump.govmirrors.com Release the Epstein List if you have the guts. Since you are a dictator amc not a president, then none of your cult would even blink, much less care.

How? How in this world, can I get back to being a dreamer? Reality has sucked every last iota of joy I had, and all I see is hate and dirision around me. Please help me get back on the road to OZ. I'm lost.

Is anyone else having a hard time living a normal day-to-day life while our nation builds literal concentration camps?

Donald Caesar will get his day in the Senate. This is the last thread of hope to which I cling.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social on ny1 : “People are going to get sick and go hungry… They’re giving people crumbs and taking away the whole loaf… One of the saddest days in 🇺🇸 history.”

I'm not flying a flag today, that's for sure.

Now that we have concentration camps in America, how soon before they start the trains full of Jews, POC, and LGBTQ+? And for those that say this can't happen in America, it's already well underway. This isn't "Fake News", this isn't "Propaganda", this is Truth. Thanks, #Republicans.

Followed closely by "one easy trick."

Not to speak ill of the departed, but and?

When you figure it out, please let me know the secret. I'm in the same boat.

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger.

The gang:

It's also because you're an amazing person, Rae. Don't sell yourself short.

56 here.

Promises Promises

I like where your head is at work the Muppets.

Immigrant here. Husband to another immigrant and father of a descendant of slaves.

Given the current state of the world, yes it is. Stay safe, MJ.

Feel better soon Rae!

Thank you!

It's still early in the year, but I *do* have "Robert Kennedy Jr Wins a Darwin Award" on my BINGO card.

Note to self...

AT LAST! A method by which to get you to cast your gaze upon me! (For the record, though, I chew quietly.)
