I have to disagree with you that it’s not a form of payment. How many platforms offer a subscription model to go ad free? Ads are a revenue stream for any given platform. You either pay the platform with your money, or your time watching ads.
If you disagree that you can’t pay for things with your time, then we will have to agree to disagree
It’s smoke and mirrors. They want attention off trump and the House right now
Are you claiming this article, about the democratic president impeachment, is a gop article? Yeah the GOP are involved, but it’s pretty disingenuous to say this is about the gop
Some employees get back pay when the shutdown ends, but not all
Some people still do. My coworkers wife at the EPA will get back pay. The people who really lose out are the contractors
they may need to make concessions to the Democrats
This feels like the only way forward, but that would mean Mccarthy would have to be bipartisan and I don’t see that happening, just as much as I don’t see the far right GOP conceding
No they can usually pass a continued resolution, which extends current funding levels for a specified amount of time. This usually gives them enough time to actually figure something out.
Right now is different though. There is so much infighting in the GOP that the far right wingers are holding the House hostage. They put forth a bill today (or yesterday? ) that 20 of the GOP switched sides just to make it fail (not that it would have made it through the senate and Biden threaten veto at it anyway). Theyre wasting time, and it seems the extreme rights in the GOP aren’t cooperating because they want a shutdown.
McCarthy has no control. He made too many concessions to become speaker, and now a vocal minority is essentially in control
I dont have a source, but last time i saw this came up on lemmy, the conversation was that, historically, bringing forth an impeachment actually hurts that party’s chances of reelection
Imagine being such a snow flake that what words people use to describe themselves makes you so mad
A quick Google shows she’s a nurse practitioner
Images of the flag and use of the flag are different. The people that hand a literal flag behind their car to get dirty and torn really piss off the boy scout in me
Side note: the thin blue line (and other such flags) are also not allowed either
Speak for yourself. My company only stopped using Fortran this decade.
Financial Independence, Retire Early
I feel like this sentiment is exactly backwards in the USA. Corps want to be better than the govt, so they give them excessive $
I work for an international conglomerate. One of our major pieces of internal software is SUSAN named after the guys wife. I’ll never remember his name, but his wife will always be in my mind
My wife had been after me to go to couples therapy. I was convinced we didn’t need it. After a while, I just scheduled something and sent her an appointment notice. Figured if she thought we needed it, I’d give it a try.
She called the therapist and cancelled our appointment soon after i sent her the notice. She claimed, “we didn’t need to spend money on that right now.” She hasn’t brought it up since.
No idea what that was about
Why wait for them to ask you?
Lol right? These are the same people that complain about gun violence in places they don’t live, yet act like they’re tough because they have a gun? I bet most are way too afraid to actually use it
This is a civil case, so no
You have to actually vote to see results. When you do, it says “most readers rated this article center/fair”
