Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Um... It's standard to fire them and then decide if you should have fired them? That is truly moronic. I just don't understand how I can think less of these people every time I hear them speak. Is there no bottom? Will they always be able to disappoint me no matter how little I think of them?
Unfortunately no, fascism has no bottom because its existence relies on digging. If they stop radically altering things then their populist facade would collapse. This is why they need new enemies every month and their rhetoric has to get more extreme every time they talk. Miller has always been the most extreme person in both admins though, so you can safely assume that he's where they will be in about a month.
It's the tried and tested Elon Musk method of performance evaluation. Fire all the workers, then be shocked when they don't want their old job back for a lower wage and worse contract terms
This is standard practice for Musk and literally no one else.
Yep. Delete requirements. If you didnt have to put any requirements back, you didnt delete enough.
This works well when designing a rocket but not very well when youre talking about human resources.
Even with rockets the sane approach would be to model the outcome in a simulation or at a small scale, not "remove the outer hull and put her in orbit".
All the CEO’s and consulting firms know that it’s standard practice to fire your highly experienced and highly paid workforce and hire undergrads at 1/3rd the cost to save money. That is this lunatic’s mind set of how to run this country. It surely couldn’t backfire could it? /s
