Can’t wait until they fire the employees i need to review my environmental permit submittals and then can never get another project started legally ever again without risking insane amounts of fines four years later when the next administration comes in and hires new people.
They’ll just completely gut the environmental regulations and eliminate all fines.
If we want to see what the future will be like for the US, than look no further than Putin’s oligarchy.
Yeah, I am a little concerned about that too, but I can tell you that it is going to take YEARS of work to gut legislation like that. I am hoping that even with a Republican trifecta, they still won’t be able to agree on and accomplish anything because they all hate eachother.
Wouldn’t work from home allow the government to sell office buildings it doesn’t need, and therefore save money?
People will quit on their own or get fired for not following the order, either way forfeiting any severance pay. Then the remaining people who RTO will be overworked because they’re seen as desperate to keep their job.
And in case it’s not obvious, musky and ramyswamy don’t actually give a shit about government efficiency. Trump appointed them as repayment for helping his campaign and they’ll probably both steal money from the government and get pardoned by Trump if they get caught.
And now Trump stuck Greene in there with them to get her to shut up about ethics reports.
They’ll most likely cut shit that helps them personally. Leon doesn’t like the FTC and anything that he thinks is inconvenient to his companies.
Yeah but work from home pisses off two major Republican sub-groups. One- being someone’s boss gives them a woody. A chance to feel like they’re towering over someone else gives them meaning to their life. Two- republicans hate when people have it better than them, thus born the stereotype of it being truly American to work harder for less money. Get those lazy asses back to hard murican labor, and no free healthcare.
Three - they’re heavily invested in commercial real estate and need bodies in suites to throw more gold on their hoard
Not likely, and there’s a…well, not really good…maybe understandable, or relatable… reason for it.
It has to do with the cost of commercial real estate, and the government being a barometer for private sector.
If the government says “everyone RTO”, companies be like “cmon that means us too”. Especially so for government contractors.
But if people stay remote…then there’s no need for these big buildings in cities. So they sit vacant or underutilized. And then there’s a surplus of commercial real estate, and the commercial real estate sector falls in on itself, and a bunch of other bad things happen.
But wait, there’s more.
Why live in expensive, densely packed, overpriced cities, if not for being in close proximity to high paying jobs? Likely what would follow is urban residential and MDU/MFU values tanking as there’s an exodus from cities and nearby towns. And while that might be good for people who don’t own property, a lot of people, especially middle-class people in commuter-ville, will probably be losing their nest-egg. More than likely to be picked up cheap by somebody to build a warehouse or a datacenter or luxury condos or something. Something that takes up a lot of space but doesn’t need a lot of staff.
Thats a great way to make the economy even better!
They just CAN’T let us have something. They don’t even have a good reason to take it from us, they just don’t want us to have it.
They do have a reason. Their real estate holdings aren’t as profitable.
Working from his Twitter handbook, I see.
I wonder what the Unions that those workers are a part of would do?
Ending remote work is just a way to get people to quit.
Yes that’s what the article says.
I hope they don’t, I applied for a federal job that was offering remote work and flex scheduling which would be a big help in my life. I’m having to help take care of my mom as she gets older and I can’t just up and move to DC.
How the fuck did you idiots end up with musk as an advisor to a mentally challenged president!?
Political bribery is legal in the US and musky gave Trump a lot of money.
Because half the voting population is idiots.
More like a third, or less. Only about half to 60% of eligible people vote in any given election.
are
I know what I said.
Especially the half that didn’t vote
So 3/4.
It was a joint effort of idiocy.
Can’t wait until all those workers move to European based companies.
I hope not. I want to get there first. Don’t need Americans to fuck even that opportunity.
does elon have a non-ai picture that doesn’t look exactly like a troglodyte?
To be perfectly honest, I hope they tank the entire country and western civilization by extension. I know, I know…the most oppressed among us will suffer the most. Like, I get it.
But the fall of capitalism has been in the fucking mail for a few decades now, and I need it to hurry up and happen. My autism leads me to get irrationally anxious and upset when natural consequences don’t ensue, and everything still not having come crashing down around us when it is what this country deserves is REALLY fucking with my head.
I like you. Here’s a video you’d like.
You are part of the poorest in our society.
If your household makes more than 350k/yr and posses more than 100mil in total wealth then you will not feel the effects.
If you arent that rich your life is going to become much worse.
Accelerationism is the ideology of a child with rage issues who breaks their own things because they’re thowing a fit.
So…someone with autism?
How will the uberwealthy not feel the effects of capitalism crumbling and money becoming worthless?
If you read the comment then you’ll see that it doesn’t say that
I admire your optimism, but I am more skeptical. Capitalist oligarchy has left Russia a pale, pathetic shadow of the super power that it once was, but capitalism is not even remotely close to collapsing in Russia.
Their obvious incompetence is why putin choose them to lead our country.
I’ve been telling people for years, Russia most certainly influenced the outcome of the US elections because they have a huge interest in placing inept, incompetent, easily manipulated fools in power, in their “enemy” countries.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they had something to do with an actor becoming president of Ukraine. They had plans to take Ukraine, and they didn’t want a real politician in power when they tried it.
My theory is that Putin blames the US for destroying the Soviet Union. He blames us for forcing the USSR into a cold war it never wanted and he saw first hand how endless anti-communist propaganda turned the whole western world against the USSR… So now he believes he is doing to the US what we did to the USSR, bombarding us with endless disinformation and propaganda to destroy our country from the inside out.
Wow. That makes a lot of sense and is a take I’ve never heard or thought of.
Believe it or not I’m still thinking about what you said here. Just today I was thinking how ridiculous it was that the same people who condemned communism due to its tendency for corruption due to greed advocated for trickle-down economics, as if it wasn’t subject to the same exact behavioral flaw. Looking back at it almost 40 years later (I was there, I remember the 80s), it comes off like the US didn’t think their shit could possibly stink. The 80s was all about glamorizing capitalistic greed, but it’s almost like trickle-down economics was a communist policy in disguise. I’m definitely not pro-Putin, but I can definitely see why your theory holds water. We gave the Kremlin every reason to hate us. Now it’s our turn to get destroyed by greed and corruption. The same generation who were 20-30 in the 80s and living the greed-life are now 60-70 and filling the seats of congress and the c-suites/boards of corporations.

They have really outdone themselves this time. It’s actually impressive.
Theory: Elon is just trying to make more people want to move to Mars. Wait, hear me out…
If M*sk actually worked a day in his life, he’d have a brain aneurysm. He works the same way a cat who gets everything handed to them because they’re too lazy to move works.
Trump and Musk don’t want employees or workers, they want courtiers.
