  • The workers, who are paid hourly, were told they could either take paid time off or come in for cleaning and training but would not be working on the production line.

    That wording is ambiguous, but given the alternative is “come in and do cleaning” my guess is “take paid time off” means workers have to burn their own vacation time if they don’t want to lose money. Otherwise, who in their right mind would volunteer to work if the company is offering paid furlough?










  • Here’s the problem.

    Strip Trump and MAGA from the GOP, and what are you left with?

    The same shit-ass party that brought us Trump, only less emboldened.

    They still want tax cuts for billionaires, no universal health care, no workers rights, no mention about climate change, no rights for LGBTQ people, no women’s rights, no non-white people in America.

    Etc.

    The only difference between “the party of Reagan” and MAGA is that under Reagan the GOP was much quieter about being assholes.

    You know how the US and the USSR were allied against Germany, but the second WWII was over they started pointing their guns at each other? That’s where I feel like we’re at now with “center-right” Republicans like Walsh. Sure, I’ll take the help of anyone who recognizes that Trump is a threat to democracy and the ideals of the US, but the second that’s dealt with there’s gonna be problems.
