Unemployment at the hands of Elon Musk, just in time for Christmas.

This is what Deplorable Trumping MAGAts voted for.

It was literally part of the campaign platform, they ran on the mass firing of government employees.

So the Biden Administration has had 4 years to scrutinize this and... ?

How incompetent are they?

Corporate America didn't adopt it because of some kind of morale enlightenment lol. That's the most farcical notion posted on this site in awhile.

They thought they were going to make more money, based on science.

Name one.

The discussion about financial gains or costs is just a huge distraction anyway.

This is how I know you're not serious and it's just confirmation bias.

The study you are championing isn't about the moral value of DEI. It's a study to correlate that DEI = increased profits and better margins.

The Green & Hand study debunked it.

Well, at least a transgender person in Kansas didn't help elect Trump ... twice.

They are widely cited. However, their hypothesis did not survive peer review. Distinguished professors could not replicate their results and found no significant correlation.

People like the work because it feeds confirmation biases of how things should be, but it does not survive the scientific method and fails peer review.

Losing 312 - 226 and 4 senate seats and watching a couple decades of time and billions of dollars in turn out the vote efforts for hispanics upended as the men go vote for Trump, it's really bad.

It's hard to come up with realistic scenarios of how it could have gone worse.

This is just more evidence Americans don't understand economics.

and what was the biggest factor? corporate profits.

No small irony in that post. MV=PQ right?

M2 ~15% 2017-2021
M2 ~40% Jan 20 - Dec 21
M2 ~27% year over year through 2020-2022.

It's the highest rate of monetary supply growth ever recorded and is the single biggest factor in the extreme inflation voters experienced.

Revenue declined 20% year over year right before he bought it, and they posted net losses 8 out of 10 years from 2012 to 2021.

It's one of the worst business acquisitions in history.

Twitter's value was always --------. 5000 engineers turning out nothing new annually and making a terrible stack.

What a liberal thing to say.

Your idea that Iraq made people turn to Donald is interesting, but contradicted by the fact that I've seen and being with MAGA my entire life.

Instead of telling me I'm wrong so it doesn't shake your world view, you can just go listen to them yourself on Shawn Ryan interviews.

Try John McPhee or pretty much any of the other GWOT vet interviews. They're all anti-establishment-that-lied-to-them Trumpers.

Rcade bought one of those stupid hats and started calling himself Matt.

You can drive past the homes of some oil CEOs here in Houston. Armed security at the gate. Armed security covering the perimeter.

If someone is deemed High Value they are protected with firearms.

CEOs are safer in this country than kids and teachers. Thoughts and prayers.

I can't help but notice that CEO bodyguards have guns.

The Establishments Big Iraq Adventure, led by Bush-Cheney, signed off on by Biden and Hillary, with the later occupation continually signed off by Romney, killed off the Republican party that Mitt knew. The 18 to 25 year olds they lied to that are the veterans of that conflict have resoundingly rejected them and is actively purging them from the party with Trump as their voice.

Probably shouldn't have invaded Iraq.

Mach 6.5 airliner lol. It's a model on the tip of a rocket. Once you get around Mach 3 the temperatures are such that all passengers would have to wear custom space suits or everybody onboard gets baked to death when the air conditioner fails.

Economic output is not solely dependent on population level.
