Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

"In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman's mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in "conspiratorial thinking", "megalomania", rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan."

Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children's programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he's erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.

Yes offense, op. Fuck fox news, without exception?

You know, they say he pokes his lip out like that so that trump doesn't have to wait to shit in his mouth.

He wasn't, that's the narrative after the fact. That thing fucking changed him fundamentally.

If brain damage wasn't bad enough... It turns you into a miserable republican fuck.

Had anyone ever said yet... Lin Manuel Mayoranda

I hope he goes far and makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Brave man in a moment that needs brave people.

We shouldn't. And he thinks that too. Cool.

This is very interesting... because the general saying is that AI is convincing for non experts in the field it's speaking about. So in your specific case, you are actually saying that you aren't an expert on yourself, therefore the AI's assessment is convincing to you. Not trying to upset, it's genuinely fascinating how that theory is true here as well.

Adam Schlesinger, a likely preventable death in this selfish fucking country. He gave so many beautiful things to the world while he was here.

That is just not a proper headline... You are missing critical context? More like, "Kennedy, who recently willingly swam in literal shit with his own grandchildren, says..."

Crazy that decent people have a 1000 page report to justify their position, nutjobs have a tweet, and the two are discussed on equal footing.

He doesn't think much of anything himself. He's a scared little boy, because that's where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.

Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?

"...me my money."

Problem is no humanity in "human resources".

Exclusive clandestine agents of the business that work to train you to be as vulnerable as you can with them. Only as info gathering to be used as leverage against you if needed. Especially in the US now with the collapse of already lacking agencies like the NLRB, CFPB, FTC, etc... folks need to really JOLT themselves out of programming according to an old rulebook.

Whistleblowers are literally ending up dead, companies are adjusting their tolerance for inclusive practices and they are quickly losing fear of any regulation or retaliation.

Fuck 'em. Any way you find a way to slow things down or make them difficult. The social contract is broken, so quit trying to hold up your end with corporations. You aren't going to help them grow a conscience with your righteous and admirable principled adhesion to the old rules as they stab you and colleagues in the back.

I admire your spirit, OP. Be careful. Operate outside of your own industry if possible. Find job descriptions within that industry, directly copy key terms and add to a fake resume that will catch the attention of their sorting algorithm on job boards. As companies continue mass layoffs for sport to juice a stock price, the "talent acquisition" people only see you as pigs coming into slaughter (or at best, the fresh meat at the top of the grinder that will inevitably push the old meat through the grinder dye).

Society is in the decline. Internalize that. Act accordingly. Doesn't mean you have to set it on fire or give up a fight, but they've shifted the overton window on human decency. Your principled stand doesn't even register on the scale anymore.

Average union dues are typically 1-3%. This claims an 18% increase in weekly salary for union workers... So what are you thinking isn't getting factored in here and what is your point if it isn't represented inb these numbers?

Unions aren't "tricky", they are vital.

Luxury is a choice. I've never owned a "new" car. I could afford new cars eventually, but the reality is the world meant that I was never going to put myself close enough to a potential edge, that the purchase of a nicer car could lead to future discomfort for me or my family.

You really have no idea how out of touch you are. Your next point is, "Getting a gold foil wrap on a cybertruck is an investment! You don't get the full value of that investment on resale... Do you expect me to just take that loss?"

You are tone deaf. You doing see it at all, and that's really the point.

Ate you seriously trying to tell a sad story about imagined poor unfortunate souls that are barely scrapping by on a "tight budget" and drive.

"Maybe some of you have Beluga caviar with every meal, but us working folk can only afford sevruga 3-5 times a week, at best!"
