I think it’s important to remember people had been subjected to literally decades of propaganda that remote work didn’t work. When everyone was forced to do it, many learned that it is not only possible but results in better overall life sa

This is happening at the company I’m contracting with. Employees, not contractors, must RTO. Two people on my team literally moved to different states with no company offices during the multi year period of not going to the office. It’ll be

Supposed news organizations openly employ spooks as commentators on things like foreign policy. Journalists knowingly report lies, acting as the mouthpiece of the government. We know at least one news organization had the whole Epstein stor

What percentage of people granted bail are unable to post it for financial reasons? I don’t know the answer, but if the system is a good fit for the vast majority of people who ever get arrested, then I would consider that a good system. Th

Not only mold in the tub, but the pull-out tray thing where you put the detergent. Switching to powder laundry detergent made a big difference until I was able to upgrade to a top loader.

I used to watch Adams' podcast. It would require a lot of context to fully make sense. Suffice to say he thinks teacher's unions are a big component of the problem here and imo the primary value of his comment here could be convey
