Holy hell this new gimmick of yours sucks.

Just this morning? Why do you bother with that guy? Just ignore him like life has

To answer your questions in order: 1.) I'm not pushing anything and I don't have a side- knock that stupid sh!t off. 2.) I don't have an opinion one way or another on bathrooms and locker rooms. I also don't think men are pretending to be women just to get access to a women's locker room. 3.) I am not for surgery and chemicals for kids. I've said I don't think it should happen until 18 at the earliest. I've also said though that if a parent signs off on it for a kid so be it. Are you not for parental choice now? 4.) I don't push any propaganda in my classroom and have said numerous times I'm against the videos of those goofy teachers saying they talk about this stuff with elementary school students. It's a little more complicated at like high school and maybe middle school level but you can't just do it unilaterally. 5.) It is a small minority of the population. But it is more than .01%. 6.) I push back because it is insane how much head space this issue takes up for like 3 posters on here. And I push back when I see people trying to shame someone who is transgender. Look I don't get it, you clearly don't get it....but I'm not an azzhole telling these people they are mentally ill or that they don't matter in the grand scheme of things. To be very clear- I genuinely do not give a flying FOOK if someone chooses to be transgender, or anything else they do in their personal life that affects them and doesn't outwardly affect me. I think the world would be a better place if people would just mind their own god damned business.

I was told we just need to incentivize them more and they will work better

It's a very pollyanna view you have. Incentives have a shelf life if anything. This will be like every other idea- less people to do more work. That never succeeds.

I'm sure

Let me guess- you are some bug business/corporation expert.

Nobody has argued since May 1st. Captain Obvious was saying some dumb things and ran off in the thread

I can count on one hand the number of conversations I've heard in my lifetime about transgender people. Here on the GC a new thread gets posted everyday. Touch grass people.

They extended employee pricing on cars but said that will change by the end of the summer. They are also basically saying expect prices for certain vehicles to get higher. Most estimates are that it would take- conservatively- 2 years to get a new plant up and running or to reopen a shuttered plant. By that time we are talking almost summer of 2027 when we are into the early stages of campaign season for the 2028 presidential election and perhaps the landscape of politics is different after the 2026 mid terms. Why would any company be rushing to sink billions of dollars into a facility if they think things could change in the future? Instead they can just say "Oh well we have 3,000 in tariff charges- we will just raise the price of the vehicle 5,000 dollars."

Maybe you just have a "reading compression" problem?

There won't be incentives. It will just be- keep doing your job the same way as before. You've never worked for big business clearly.

India just did a tariff deal... with Britain.. I guess that "Winning" will have to wait longer...

Ok Jan

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas did a survey. For this month’s survey, Texas business executives were asked supplemental questions on the impact of tariffs. Results below include responses from participants of all three surveys: Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey, Texas Service Sector Outlook Survey and Texas Retail Outlook Survey. https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/tbos/2025/2504q#tab-all
