    Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

      It’s almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It’s a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women’s gold medals!!

      He fired the pandemic response team a few years before covid, because who needs that.

      You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.

      And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence

      It’s scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.

      I’ve been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I’ll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

    Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

      You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.

      Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.

        What, you mean just because Trump is Putin’s lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?

        At this point, isn’t it similar to asking whether it’s a parody? When reality is more twisted, how do you even write parody or Russian plot that is believable?

        Is this the real point? Drive those Russian plotters out of a job by being worse than they can imagine? More extreme than would be believable from them?

      you underestimate the power of the hatred that’s been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.

      they simply won’t give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as ‘they’ get it too.

        Thank you for pointing out that there is the right and then there is the far-right too. Things aren’t as binary as many netizens seem to think. Shades. Of. Grey.

      No blunder is big enough to shake up MAGA. Literally nothing will threaten their allegiance to their god-king.

        Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

    Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don’t blame them.

    I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won’t leave the white house. I’m absolutely sure of it. It’s ww2 all over again.

      This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)

      I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?
