Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You know this is someone who's never known retribution. Like no chance in hell ill ever fire/layoff that many people intentionally for no good reason and ever get good night sleep again.
These people are sociopaths. I have a small business where i deal directly with my customers from the first call till the job is done, and afterwards if needed as well. I have direct accountability for the work i do, and i wear it like a fucking badge because i take pride in my work. Accountability is something we've witnessed these assholes evade time and time again. Nobody ever pays the "iron price" for their actions when they're rich and connected, and the very few that do only wind up doing so because they didn't stay in their lane and pissed off someone even richer than they are. See Musk go around with his shenanigans before the '24 election and after, yet not a drop of accountability for him--even though he could absorb hundreds of billions in fines and still not give a single fuck. If the laws were actually enforced and all the loopholes were closed, none of these assholes would still be in power.
The thing is, this administration was going to do it anyway. It's not like the mass firings just started... They just have a new excuse.
