I think this is where the Camden example would help... They disbanded/fired the entire department and forced everyone to go through a rigorous rehiring process that included psych evals, etc. They also ditched the union, and then rebuilt it as well. It’s a very interesting case study!

Thank you for articulating this!

Oh no! The last thing you need is the hassle of multiple trips like that. I'm limited to a month at a time because of insurance, and it makes me worry about having a buffer for supply issues. My previous pharmacy (rite aid) wouldn't resupply one of my meds on a consistent basis, and would routinely give me the wrong…

Absolutely! Actually it was about eight years ago I caught the work from home bug and was lucky enough to get to keep doing it. I was already highly productive, but I was twice that from home! Unfortunately I was laid off a while back and until we hit the pandemic everyone wanted in-office workers. I'm hopeful that…

Actually,I saw a brief interview with the PPE guy and he was very low key about it. And btw, the full story is even crazier. But his attitude was “what matters most is that we got the supplies we need for the short run”. He's not out there trying to get people to feel sorry for him or anything.

Hey there! Really struggling right now to focus or actually DO something. I should be working on getting interviews lined up (laid off months ago). But my brain is stuck in neutral, and all the hard work I put into training my social anxiety to just chill and allow me to talk on the phone without panicking has gone…

Good god people, WTF????

That’s exactly been my interpretation of his clips lately. It looks to me like he really does want to cultivate positive change.

Hey man, firm poops are always cause for a hooray!

Short answer? Yes, he thinks we can shoot it. Also, it won't get us if we hold our breath and close our eyes real tight.

I signed my divorce papers on Valentine’s day, last year. I was devastated but for some reason the timing actually amuses me now.

Doing the Lord's work there

After 20 years of cohabitation, 14 years of marriage, it all crumbled. Took me a little while, but it turned out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me! I love love love living alone! I’m a socially-anxious introvert and spending my evenings in calmness is soooooo wonderful. I don’t even know if I’ll ever be i…

Great article.

Hmm, which of those was that? A compliment, a variation, or a riff? Or ...?

My first thought as well.

Lol, I’ve been thinking of that original article since it first came out, because... I must confess, my routine is even bleaker than hers, and I maybe get one mild bump a couple times a year. I don’t wash my face, or even use moisturizer. I do let the water run over it in the shower, but for now I’m actually afraid to…

It’s looking that way... Sad to see.

It's so disappointing, practically no political articles are posted anymore, as far as I can tell, on any of the Giz sites. What I'll really miss the most is the commenting community though. I'm sad to see what looks like more shutdowns looming ☹️

So... Several things wrong with what you’re saying. First, it’s the Speaker of the House that is third in line. Second, the Senate member that is in line of succession is the President pro Tempore, which is Chuck Grassley. I get that you’re trying to say that there are members of Congress in the line of succession, but…
