  • I still think we’re taking past each other. I’m not saying he won’t become president or whatever. There are other people who have done that without personally being great strategists or especially bright. I think Cheney was a lot smarter than the president he served under. Vance might be smarter than Trump, but I don’t think that’s saying much.


  • Cheney wanted to start a war in the middle east for personal enrichment, and he made that happen. That’s a huge deal, especially given he was just VP. Yes, terrible for the country, but really quite an accomplishment. I have seen no evidence that Vance has skills beyond just saying what he thinks people want to hear (regardless of accuracy).













  • I’m a manager at a large aerospace and defense company. We had a hybrid arrangement where most people (who didn’t have to touch hardware) could work from home a couple days a week. Most people seemed to think it was pretty reasonable. There really are benefits to in person collaboration, so some on site days seemed to make sense.

    We recently moved to fully RTO, and I find it frustrating. It’s not a big deal personally - I live close and I’m older - but it pisses off a lot of the employees, who see no good reason for it. I don’t see any notable productivity increase moving from three to five days on site, it just makes my management job harder.


  • And you realize that a hunk of his popularity is because of blatant, I mean extremely blatant, propaganda, right? You have outlets like Fox refusing to run anything negative and continuing to air verifiably false information, and they aren’t the worst offender, just the most popular.

    You could have said the exact same stuff about the climate deniers. Almost half of people believed them, so they couldn’t be wrong. It’s just an opinion that they’re harmful. There’s nothing illegal about airing their nonsense.

    Again, you do you, but let’s be up front about what you’re about here.
