I've worked in technology for nearly 30 years. We geeks totally wish this was the case; but it is not.

He will be our next president. Indeed.

DOGE is creating these searches that don't really work. Search for the word "Gay" in these documents. It finds references to the Enola Gay. The Enola Gay was a bomber that dropped one of the bombs on Japan. Has NOTHING to do with homosexuality, trans rights, etc. But these "searchers" see the word gay and immediately flag it and remove it. Kind of a ridiculous way to search and "find stuff" to remove, IMO. Search is highly flawed, but is being done by people named "BigBallz" or some other 22 year old kid that has NO idea that the Enola Gay was a plane in WW2.

Third spin off. I think they are on Paramount+. Yellowstone 1883 - My favorite of the three. Ending broke me. 1923 I *thought* Landman was some how tied in as well, but maybe not, it's just the same director/producer. I never got into that one.

Starting in July, Gov Newsom instructed all state employees to return to the office 4 days a week. Right now, some agencies are 2 WFH, some have 3 WFH days. https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/03/california-employees-remote-work/ Many are piiissed. I truly wonder if the govt (state and federal) understand the far reaching impacts this can have on families. Everything increases for them with the return to work. My BFF is a state employee and going back to work 4 day straight a week as a single mother will be challenging for her. Her take home is $3k/month. Half of that goes to rent. Now, she will need to have child care, gas will be well over $5/gallon in the summer months. Not to mention other expenses that come up. So many people unhappy that our Gov just went and made this decision without considering the agencies themselves, or discussing it with anyone.

Esp if he moves more moderate. I am not sure how that will work when he's asking tax payer money to be set aside to sue the current admin. We will see.

Bumping: New season of 1923 started, anyone watching? Can Sheridan redeem himself after the terrible ending of Yellowstone?

Yes, 2 - 4 year terms. His is ending in 2026.

Well, good thing you're well off and can afford it.

I am headed to Reno at the end of March. I'll keep this in mind. Indeed. Amen. Thanks.

I also read a lot of "Build Back Better."

I don't think he's going to be able to make it happen. And I don't think it will "improve education" if it's eliminated - but to be eliminated it takes Congress. Like a lot of the crap he's trying to do...he's going to be fought against and rightfully so.

Jeezus. He's downsizing, from what I read. He wants the states to take more responsibility. Several Pres before him have tried to do the same thing, however it takes Congress to make it happen. No one seemed to care when others tried it.

This. And he would still be terrible. His policies have been terrible for our state.

Again, merely stating what I read in an article.

I love it when people here tell me what I believe or don't believe. I merely made a statement about what I read, nothing more, no opinion at all of what I think of what he's doing/done. The only thing I think I misunderstood were the cuts to VA, and I am against those.

Can't have it both ways. Trump was complained about incessantly for four years here. How many "GOT HIM THIS TIME!!!" posts did we have?

I believe that's what they equate it with. He's sending it back to the states, from what I am reading.

Rink no work.

Won't happen.

He's a murderer. Hardly someone that cares about organ donation.

Oof. Sounds like the worst way to go, IMO. But if he chose it....

Probably a mix of whatever; going in 5 days a week. One friend I have WFH maybe 2 days a week, but not every week. The friend I referenced above was in office 5 days a week most of the time with the occasional WFH. When covid hit tho, everyone went to WFH. And, similar to other industries that aren't state/federal, the RTO has been slowly coming back to 5 days a week. They had to know this was coming, too. Couldn't expect to WFH forever.

I agree.

I have changed my position on a few things listening to :gasp: liberals, but none here. It's near to impossible at this site to have a worthwhile discussion with anyone here. It turns into name calling, and once that starts, I'm out.
