Microsoft laid off 5% a week ago. Not one interview with an affected Microsoft employee. Are they not able to find them?

Oh my goodness. Why, pray tell, are they only interviewing federal employees and not Starbucks employees? Think maybe there is a hidden agenda afoot? I can't believe I have to explain this over and over

So you meant to say he HASN'T changed the economy. Not that he doesn't want to. Understood. Thanks for clarifying that

Based on what?

Ugh...Are you guys just slow witted or something? I have seen numerous interviews and stories about the poor federal workers laid off, but none by your beloved media for these. Why is your media only focusing on the federal jobs? Do they have some sort of agenda to do so?

Trump derangement syndrome. I used to chuckle at that concept but now I see it is very real. Willing to give up a good job and risk a lot, just to say "fock this administration" Absolutely amazing to me.

Weird....I am willing to bet liberals running companies have laid off people. I'm not gonna look it up, but I am pretty sure that's the case. I guess at least those folks out of a job were laid off with empathy

How can you doubt it? What evidence do you have? You're quick to judge the federal layoffs, with absolutely no evidence, yet you can't do it here.

He's literally griping about political appointees being shown the door. Which is what every new administration does. But it's only bad if the other side does it. Ugh

This is so weird cause in this article, it doesn't mention their political affiliations? You know more Squish? Please enlighten us! https://www.yahoo.com/news/musk-federal-workers-haven-t-125140160.html

How do you know the political leanings of the 1000 starbucks employees laid off?

I know how. That's why I asked the question. If you don't have an answer, that's fine.

Of course I am. Seems the entities I posted in my reply were very concerned about this or that person being laid off. Yet no profiles from other places? Hmmmm I wonder why that is? Is the media saying that only those laid off from government jobs are impacted? everyone else will be A-OK?

People actually get suspended here?

Are they gonna protest Starbucks too? https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/starbucks-to-lay-off-1100-employees-this-week-as-ceo-aims-to-deliver-on-turnaround-135518008.html Microsoft?' https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/20/meta-approves-plan-for-bigger-executives-bonuses-following-5percent-layoffs.html' John Deere? https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/agriculture/2025/02/21/john-deere-layoffs-ankeny/79437187007/

I dont know why I like it but I do. Only watched E 1 of this season so far though

I guess we feel lucky House will be paid off in 4 years No debt outside of car loans Decent 401k balance Im dropping 21% of my check currently into savings. Hsa, 401k, savings. Retiring at 62 means 3 years i have to pay for healthcare but we will make it work. If i have an opportunity to do some work for 20 hours a week or so just to get out of the house im good with that

Noooooo. See MSNBC said that was doubtful. So the non homophobe Reid then said she didnt remember the posts. So she's good. Everything was explained

Yup. He will absolutely not be convicted of anything if thats the only evidence they have. In fact the entire thing is silly based on that call

Lol what did you tell us exactly?

Generally speaking the private sector ia better at these things than the government. Personally I would have no issue with mail being delivered 3 days a week. I dont need junk mail daily

In today's electronic world we dont need mail every single day truthfully

Why not

Post office loses billions every year. But lets not look at changes...cause why???

62 is the goal for me. I have a retirement estimator that i spend a lot of time tinkering with, including a budget estimator. Things seem on track for 62
