    Are you trying to imply doubling the available workforce is not good? Its usually a good thing. While their motivations are cynical, those leaders are doing good.

    …or are you trying to imply that keeping women out of the traditional work force (by only allowing them to work unpaid in the home in domestic servitude, labor that capital does not value) increases the value of male labor through scarcity, which would be preferred?

    Sorry that second question kind of reads as an attack. A shitty coworker of mine said that to me unironically and tried to play it off as a joke when I pushed back.



  • For what it’s worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they’re just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).

    At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don’t want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).



  • All federal employees have been reclassified to political employees instead of nonpartisan civil servants, meaning they are closer to at will employees.

    This has never happened before.

    All federal employees now serve at the will of the party in power. There will be loyalty tests. There will be entire departments defunded and dismantled.

    They are reviewing social media posts as we speak to decide who to keep. That’s right, that includes folks at the CDC, FDA, EPA… every paperwork jockey, no matter how minor their position, is now subject to the whims at the party in power in a way they were not before.

    All these firings will be contested. They’ll go to the courts. Say… Who owns the courts right now?

    You have no idea what is happening. The purges begin 90 days from now.
