Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

If only we could know who it is, things would be so much different.
It's almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It's a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women's gold medals!!
He fired the pandemic response team a few years before covid, because who needs that.
You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.
And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence

Christ, what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
Malicious intent x Incompetency = whatever the fuck this is.
It's an irrational number, that much I'm sure.
I wish it were just an imaginary number.
In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses
Well, time to renegotiate salary, isn't it?
Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!
Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.
I would choose France.

Dude is this seriously all that's happening over there? Like this is not just a bubble with jokes, it's literally just all dumb shit bordering on satire?
We left satire long ago. I feel sorry for satirists, parodists, and other humorists who can’t keep up with reality

Yep.
They are extending tax cuts for ultra-rich and corporations behind the clown show.
It's scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.
I've been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I'll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.
You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.
Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.
What, you mean just because Trump is Putin's lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?

you underestimate the power of the hatred that's been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.
they simply won't give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as 'they' get it too.

They'd just blame it on "the radical left" and usher in martial law and the great purge.
Oh that'd be nice, but you just know it'll be "Damn Obama! Why did he blow up those nukes!' without a single hint of self-reflection.
i'd be ghosting those mf'ers, too.
“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…
The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!
It's all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.
What a stupid piece of shit
Good time to ask for a raise!
Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.
no one has a shotgun
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America
Fuck his stupid ass. Keep far far away from him
This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)
I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?
