I know someone talked about this a while back, in this very thread I believe. Aren't states themselves able to declare they are being invaded? If so then Texas, Arizona, etc should declare that and just start firing artillery at the border crossers. They'd learn to fuck off pretty quick if they know howitzers will blow their abuela to bits and turn their asses into carne asada.

"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

Arming the Texas State Guard and turning them loose on the border would probably be popular, but politically difficult. They could take an incremental step by taking official notice of the invasion and establishing an interstate compact with the other border states on security and relocation measures.
 
goddammit I feel like this site is lucy with the goddamn football the past three days.

Anyone else notice how much local news has let Lizzy dying take the headlines lately? I haven't heard shit about Brandon or his initiatives lately.
They want to let Dark Brandon's Nuremburg rally fade from memory as quickly as possible.
 
Yes, yes, he moves in all those circles, as anyone in the uper echelons of society does, but he's been very clear for years that he would have to clam up once he took the throne. As monarch, he's not in the position to engage in the sort of public meddling that he could have as heir, lest he bring the whole thing crashing down in a wave of republican fervour. He may often be stupid, but he's not a complete idiot.
 
I love how these 'errors' that don't get prosecutrd always seem to be in the Democrats favor.
And never forget that it's not a bug but a feature...

Half the reason I only lurked for so long is that most posts would just me thinking how tiresome it all is.

While I'm a it, the cuckservatives still seem pretty happy to be cucking @Gehena, is it still turtle man unsure on how to proceed after the fbioopsie or has the uniparty reached a sort of appeasement?

Because if they are pissed about it they aren't showing it.

To be fair, The Queen dying really is orders of magnitudes of a bigger story for everyone that Biden suck starting another cabal approved circus with bread rations. Gonna dominate the news cycle for a few more weeks, easily.
 
Spoken like someone who has never started a business or contributed meaningfully to any business.

Surely you have quiet quit and started your own business where you assume all the risk. Spend months if not years paying people who make more than you as you try to build your company up.


You are literally describing the left here my man. The left in Philly and NY and Baltimore and name a city.

People are paid for their hours and often they are paid more than they actually make for the business. It is painfully obvious that you are completely ignorant about how a business works and what makes it succeed and fail.

I guess the janitor should be paid as much as the sales guy keeping revenue above nothing right?

You have an entire commie thread to shit up...go back there.
The employers he's describing aren't self-made business owners who started a company out of their garage. They graduated from b-school and were installed as managers in a company by whatever conglomerate owns it after it was sold 2 or 3 times. They rarely face any consequence for failure - if the company crashes and burns, they'll just move on to another one.

The increasing monopolization of business has led to this. Management in many companies increasingly doesn't care about any kind of tangible performance, either because the company is too big to fail or because it's a tech startup that doesn't expect to make a profit before a bigger fool buys it. If you put in long hours and do excellent work at a company like this no one will care, and employees are getting wise and acting accordingly.

I'll never work at the corporate level again. I had a meeting with our group manager and he sat me down and said "great news your performance feedback was 90%......... now how can we improve that?" He sounded he was reading off a script even though no script was there. It's like the people there aren't even real.
 
Important caveat regarding all those Charles facts is they came out when he was prince. His speech yesterday made very clear it won't be the same now as King - and indeed he actually lost a lot of autonomy assuming the throne (e.g, no passport, no driver's license).

I'm no lover of the monarchy or denying that Charles is bought and paid for, but I'm not about to deny acknowledging a man who knows what the public limits of his office are or the expectations on his shoulders. That semblance of humility and symbolic unity is something Biden should be espousing since, you know, it's what the dementia addled fool ran on in the first place.

Next time you're in a meeting like that, your answer needs to include the phrase "take ownership" somewhere. It's managerial catnip.

Edit: Realised after posting that this has nothing to do with US politics, thought it was the article thread about quiet quiting.

Fuck that noise. The following is probably just sperging but it really does boil my piss.

The issue with with is business have the concept of continual growth is the issue as once it reaches an optimal customer base, it's just a case of maintaining service levels and all these "personal development programmes" are just a reason to justify some scheme they've signed upto or adapted, that are being pushed for someone's personal project, that they then use for their cv to then join some other company as a success, when ultimately it causes an increase in productive staff to look for elsewhere and then leads to a decline in standards as well as cover to exclude promotions or demotion via a box ticking exercise. Tie that in with the latest Diversity and Inclusion horseshit and it explains why things are often so shit, from both the perspective of an employee and a consumer.

I've worked in several different industries, both private and public sector and seen many people who deserve to be in roles and many who don't because they "play the game" and cause further bottlenecks by making changes for the sake of change, rather than actually improving things.

Edit for on topic:

Was there any more news on the FBI raids on Trump's supporters, tried watching Dim Fool's podcast that mentioned it but had to stop when NPC Dave Smith started ranting about Trump nearly starting a war by droning the Austere Scholar and never mentioned anything about being undermined by his military not telling the true troop numbers in Syria and that Biden was actually the one who deserved credit for ending Afghanistan.

Being directly involved in a lot of these exec-to-IT conversations, a lot of making changes for the sake of changes is because its easier to change computers than people. If you have a problem that is caused by people fucking around and not following what the organization considers common sense, you put a computer system in place to gatekeep and check their stupidity at the door. Inevitably, people just work around it with emails and the like because their stupidity was generally for a purpose, usually getting work done faster at the expense of something. This leads to an escalating conflict scenario of more invasive, less user friendly systems because every time an inch is given by the computer in human leeway, a mile is taken and leads to some major outage.

This cycle continues into infinity because management refuses to acknowledge that their pet teams and leaders are incompetent and that no tool can solve human stupidity. So, to preserve my job as the guy responsible for building those systems, I need to keep driving forward, because my calls to "Train the people and hold them accountable" are dismissed and the tool must solve the people.

What? Is that because of some kind of paperwork problem or is somehow the king of england not allowed to have a passport and driver's license? That's fucking wild if the reigning monarch can't fucking drive.

I find part of the issue is that the Corp level are also so far removed from the day-to-day, front line staff, that they think a new process or system will fix it because some HR bullshit prevents them from actually removing the idiots who are the middle management with their little cliques, who then ultimately are the ones who come up with the emails and ways to work round it so they don't get found out to being a waste of a wage, or take credit for the work of others...come to think of it, just managed a way to pull this back on topic by referring to the way Biden takes the credit for Covid vaccines yet blames Trump for the economy.
