I’m involved in the manufacturing sector. At recent trade shows, we’ve been hearing that a lot of companies were holding off on making decisions about purchasing goods and machinery until after the election, though no one was saying much specifically about what each candidate would mean for their decisions. This article seems to say the outlook isn’t super rosy and his initiatives don’t make a ton of sense.
Considering the stories that came out about how they used the White House pharmacy as a drug dealer, no, it would not surprise me in the least.

Ok Russian shill account.
Thanks electing Trump, Uncommitteds. Enjoy watching Gaza burn and Ukraine turn into Russia.
I’m scared for the economic future. My job is with a company that needs supplies from China to make our products. Our buyers also source most of their raw materials overseas. Trump’s tariffs will destroy us. We won’t be able to source materials and neither will our buyers. I may lose my job.
Beyond that, I have family members only a couple of years from retirement. This is going to tank their accounts. I need a new car. How will I be able to afford one? Everything is going to go up in cost.
A disorder is something that interferes with your enjoyment of life. While I’m proudly autistic and don’t have any issues saying that, I also recognize how it makes my life more difficult.
My sensory issues, stims, and social problems do interfere with my life and did even more when I was a child. I’ve been discriminated against for being autistic by a boss who tried to say that not making eye contact meant I was bad at my job. I’ve had to seek accommodations at work, which I wouldn’t be able to do if it wasn’t a disability
I appreciate your optimism but your perception is wrong. It very much is a disability and those of us living with it know that.
Is there anything in the rules about where the online cancellation has to be housed? I can totally see shady businesses hiding it in a part of the site that’s not even on their sitemap and noindexed just to keep people from finding it.
Sometimes when I have to answer a call from an unknown number, I’ll pick up but won’t say anything. A human will say something when they hear it stop ringing, but most bots listen for voice activity before they start their recording so they’ll just stay silent as long as you do.
The only reason I knew peanuts could be bad for your kidneys is watching Dr. Glaucomflecken and seeing his sketch of the nephrologist at Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAghdVqVJUg
You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.
Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.
I’m looking at it the other way. He’d probably use it to fundraise and rally his base. Better to delay so he can’t juice it.
Pumping room? You mean the closet with the free yummy milk?
Dan Savage coined the term “gold star pedophile” in a column years ago, referring to people who acknowledge their attraction to children but never act on it by harming a child or accessing CSAM. I do feel bad for these people because there are no resources to help them. The only way they can access actual therapeutic resources for their condition is by offending and going to jail. If the pedophile goes to a therapist and confesses attraction to children, therapists are mandated reporters and will assume they’re going to act on it. An article I read a few years back interviewed members of an online community of non-offending pedophiles who essentially made their own support group since no one else will help them, and nearly all research on them is from a forensic (criminal) context.
Don’t get me wrong - I think offenders need to be punished for what they do. I unfortunately have a former best friend who has offended. He’s no longer in my life and never will be again. But I think we could prevent offenders from reaching that point and hurting someone if we did more research and found ways to stop them before it happened.
Everything HR does is for the benefit of the company. They do not do anything to genuinely help employees. You are a replaceable cog and the moment they decide you’re not useful, you will be tossed out. Never trust them or the structures they put in place.
This is what I did. Works fine for my needs. My older relatives hate it but they rarely come over.
I was taught assembler in my second year at school
It’s kind of like construction work

They were “improperly obtaining” opioids, sleeping medications, and powerful stimulants from the pharmacy, treating it more like their personal dealer than a medical facility.
