In addition to pumping real estate valuation, it seems like moves like this are a form of cutting workers without having to do layoffs. They know a large number of workers are wont be able to readjust, and will have to quit.

jesus fucking christ. This is just appalling

thank you, that was what i saw. I was fully expecting to find articles that would back it up, (why else would you make such a claim?) but nope. I couldnt find anything to support it.

Im a big fan of the BBC edition, but its odd thats on CNN - anyone tried watching it yet?

it was in a discussion on Bluesky, but nothing official.

I tried finding more info but couldn't, so theres probably nothing to it. I'll delete my previous comment as it was just unfounded rumours

cliched yes, but I will always remember how scared as hell I was playing Silent Hill for the first time in high school, when you go down that dutch angle alleyway and the evil toddlers stab you to death...

i couldnt play any more for a few days haha, it was a pretty stand out memory for scary game stuff. Its hard to state how unexpected it was at the time, I hadnt played any early horror games, and I dont know how many similar experiences there were at the time (year 2000ish) so it really was brutal and surprising

Part of me was very happy the film did so well. I work in animation, and the industry is currently in the toilet due to the Zazlavs of the world - and a big success usually leads to more productions being greenlit, at least it used to.

But if an industry-leading studio like Pixar is treating their workers like a crappy sweatshop studio and had such tremendous success, that does not bode well. (They used to have a reputation for being an excellent, balanced place to work)

it looks extremely tasty! thank you for sharing the recipe - where is it from? ive never heard of plum pie, north america doesnt really do anything with plums (except maybe plum sauce for chicken fingers)

Lol

Well I mean, kinda. He does regrets not doing more when he was in government (as he has become significantly more left leaning) But I still wouldn't characterize Reich as doing nothing.

He did have major policy ideas that were stopped by Clinton's economic advisors, as well as the federal reserve (controlled by conservative ghoul Alan Greenspan, who Clinton kept on). Reich's initiatives and plans were effectively shuttered by the same ghouls who ended up ending Glass-Steagall, leading to the 2008 financial crisis and all manner of horrific economic consequences even today. So I would really attribute more blame to Clinton himself for not fighting the more conservative wings of his own administration (on health care reform, especially)

"Your reporting about the threats of violence that resulted from my voicing unfounded rumours started by white nationalists is the real propaganda!" - the couchfucker

Not even by accident.

Hes recently talked about deporting people who oppose him or who support "antifa" etc (its fair to imagine him trying to deport anyone he damn well pleases, or at least attempting it.)

Anyone who doesn't believe project 2025 is a thing obviously doesn't remember all the illegal unconstitutional stuff he tried over and over. (Only with project 2025 he'll install enoygh loyalists to carry the evil stuff out.)

thank you very much!! 👏
