Equating ICE thugs shooting people in the back of the head with protecting kids is really low-rent gaslighting, but I guess I shouldn't expect a competent propagandist around here.

Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it.

Fuck your bullshit. You know as well as I do that will all happen anyway.

Access never should have been restricted in the first place - civil servant rosters should generally always be public.

And now it is.

This is a super handy list I expect will inform future hiring decisions in many parts of the private sector. It has internal AD group data attached, which should help with identifying job function. Nobody wants to hire dangerous thugs except cop shops and gangs (but I repeat myself).

This helium crisis is nothing new. It's now 20 years since I wrote a column titled The looming helium crisis and little has changed.

I work for a company that successfully went fully remote, so I didn't experience much of what you're complaining about.

That said, you're lecturing the powerless in defense of a scam, and it is kinda gross.

There were literally months of articles and lawsuits predicting Oradance would have to make vicious labor cuts because generally (a) media consolidation plays like this always do, and specifically (b) this outfit is drowning in debt. This was as predictable as a Trump whine after a court loss. I can't tell if you're intentionally playing the fool to bang on your personal resentments or not, but Ellison isn't fooling anyone else.

And back on the WFH thing, if folks in your workplace abused things, that's a management problem. Lots of other outfits handle it just fine. We let two people go that I know of who couldn't hold it together without being in an office, early on (I think in 2021). And for several years we've been performing better than we were before[1].

If your army is fat and lazy, you replace the commander, not the grunts.

[1] To be clear, I'm not crediting WFH for all that. There are multiple reasons for our performance. But one big change we made when we went remote was instructions to hiring managers to find the best people they could and don't worry about where they are unless the job required it. And given that geographically we compete with Google and Facebook and the LLM vendors without being able to match pay, that mattered. We've picked up a lot of great talent over the last half decade, and most of it has stayed because management is also smart enough to understand the value of retaining people.

There is no good marker for the "age" of a cell.

They're just thug gangs. What makes them weird is that they're government subsidized.

That means labor disputes with the government boss aren't resolved with a bullet, so you get collective action like that. (See also Dinkens & the NYPD.)

But it is a great time to clean house in that town! Get some professionals in quick, though - the former cops will figure out their extortion failed soon enough and need income, and they're not going to find anything honest that pays as well as being a badged thug.

Social media moving back to gas station bathrooms. And since there's no gas to buy, the threads are pretty sparse.

Russians are great folks, but never let them form a government.

The bigger problem will be manhole covers on suburban streets. These will get sucked out of the road not only wrecking your Tesla but likely also endangering the traffic behind you. You can bet that this feature will be geofenced and only available on approved racetracks --which, for 99% of buyers, simply makes it useless and expensive payload.
