No he didn’t fire her. He realized that her position wasn’t as important as he thought and offered her a different position. Now she probably took that as a demotion and chose to leave instead, but what he did was say “You get $50,000 (or whatever) and you claim you are vital to the company and deserve $80,000 (or…

Well considering she didn’t apparently do anything to show she added the necessary value to the company to justify the raise, it would be a handout. That’s how pay for employment works. It’s not some arbitrary value pulled out of thin air. A company is going to pay you a certain percentage less than what value they…

He didn’t fire her. He offered her another position because her current position wasn’t of value. She declined it. It says so right there in the article. Did you read it?

This is the correct take

Sounds like a typical scientist/engineer. They look at the data (can he function without her) and make a decision based on the data (yes, he can) and people’s feelings don’t matter.

shit. “Look at me in the forehead” is one of the best lines against this administration so far

His bone structure is better with hair.

You forgot to mention that Miller is a racist.

He’ll just build a seawall. And France will pay for it.

Today the US lodged a letter with the UN announcing its formal withdrawal from the Paris accord. The US has also said it will still be attending future climate negotiations - presumably to try and sabotage them.

Damn right we do. In great quantity. Being a decent furry artist is pretty much a license to print money. Maybe not a full time gig unless you’re really really popular, but us furs are known to spend money like water on things we like.

Hey, I don’t hate on furries. Also, they pay for art. That’s awesome.

That last one there has the right of it: Lots of artist-types in the fandom. Even given the limits of the medium, they’re gonna have well-drawn art, which will be more eye-catching than crude scribbles, even if you don’t like furries.

At this point, the right wing has successfully tagged liberals and anyone else who disagrees with him with the stereotype of the wealthy elitist. We’re at the point where a real estate billionaire from New York and his hirelings can accuse others of being elites. Yikes.

I would have recorded it on my phone and shouted “Worldstar! Worldstar!”

I am convinced Miller got beat up a lot as a kid.

As a child of immigrants who came here without knowing English, and to put themselves through graduate school with three kids inadvertently displaced by a civil war, I can most certainly say FUCK YOU to this entire administration.

Wouldn’t a “cosmopolitan bias” be the one that favors rich professionals?

It’s more watchable than Temple of Doom, which has sections I actively hate, but also more forgettable. Both are vastly inferior to Raiders and Last Crusade.

An old-school refrigerator?
