This is a plot twist I should have seen coming.

Betcha he’ll get a solid “gratuity” for it, too.

The incompetence is astounding.

I know, right? We are experiencing the fall of our democracy and they concluded they should talk about healthcare.

All of them.

Meanwhile, Democrats struggle to mount effective opposition but are beginning to focus on key issues, especially healthcare.

Democtats once again bring a soup ladle to a gun fight.

Usually not at all. More recently, the polical influence on our economy is that impacting everything from hiring (we were gonna hire, but now we aren’t) to investing in the business (we think we need to store cash because a downturn is looming). Apparently it is difficult to improve an economy, but one can be wrecked in 45 days.

I wonder if there are enough all women boards to see a pattern in their performance. Would be interesting to compare…

Removing the large swaths of the workforce in an agency does not automatically mean the remaining people will become more efficient and pick up the extra work. They need processes, tools, and training to support the increased workload - and even then it is possible that the RIF was too much. I’m not even sure a “scalpel” would be effective without a way to redirect the blood. Are these guys trying to be a case study in the HBR on what not to do?

Oooo, I should try that! I have been using KU, which I know isn’t awesome, but did allow romance authors to break the publishing model (fascinating story: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/romance-novels/). And there’s a part of me that wants to give the middle finger to publishers who took in a bunch of money from romance books to pay for books/authors that would never recoup their costs.

I read ebooks.

Rump. 🤭

Pardon my ignorance, but how does this even work? Like, don’t they just walk off the job collectively until someone is willing to negotiate with them?

I’ve had good luck with acupuncture. In one extreme case it fixed my bell palsy months faster that the doctor said it would heal.

Good on you for sharing that indespensible information.

He won’t know about great deals if he’s not signed up for the newsletters. It’s a favor really.

Dumb question: who is behind the 14th Now group?

Dog poop in plastic baggies.

Why would we collect dog poop in a container that doesn’t decompose? Was it a religious thing? Did we expect to use it later?

The mystery remains!

I am furious with them for their lack of leadership and self awareness. The incompetence is shocking.
