JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Sleepy Trump caught on camera nodding off at summit in Saudi2·18 days agoWait, now - he only ever dropped the “g” at the end of his adjectives for… certain kinds of people. Who all just so happened to not be clearly white.
So let’s keep it. It’d only upset him more

One time it’s be OK to say nay to the bidet.

The average fast food worker was making 50% more in upstate NY. Most prices were the same, if not within 10 cents at worst.

They should gift him all the removed flags as toilet paper, since that’s how he might as well be using them now.
JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•21 DOGE staffers resign as they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services'61·3 months agoIt’s really no surprise to anyone who’s followed the current state of things. The Department of Government Excrement. I only hope a heinous and abhorrently-wild remainder of life to those who have cheered for the dismantling of the institution previously. I say dismantling, because most people are influenced by any end game prospect or “promises” than the actual process. If you still believed the process could somehow work, with changes rather than taking a hammer, I still think the intentions were wildly misguided at worst. However, if you truly wanted near (if not full) fascist rule, and thought it would lead to the “greater good” with what we have now, I hope you realize it will only ever be for the good of the wealthy until millions - and that especially you yourself suffer. I get that is easy to be swept up in the rhetoric. Americans are (or at least we were 10+ years ago) taught from a young age that trust and commitment to the government will lead to helping the general public. It’s especially a shame that the most self-sufficient US agency (the National Park Service) was touched at all. But I guess that government handouts for exploitative employers (business tax benefits/reliefs) sounds sexier. Even if they remove chunks of the most truly efficient government entity. The DoD? Keeping the ones they love safe - even at home far from most international conflict. Civil service? It’s not sexy, but if you want to truly help - or improve what the federal government offers and also learn to to better - you will be fine.
By now, hopefully a majority of people agree the most wasteful and damaging agency is the current one believing it can cut without consequence.

JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Ocasio-Cortez says if you feel burnt out by the news lately, that’s ‘exactly’ what Trump wants1·4 months agoI guess I should have specified I meant whom cared to be against them. Whenever I mention the full NAZI Madison Square rally to others, too many are still unaware. I always appreciate others bringing this shit history event to light!
JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Ocasio-Cortez says if you feel burnt out by the news lately, that’s ‘exactly’ what Trump wants9·4 months agoTo be fair, I don’t think the overall USA really cared about nor directly responded to the OG Nazis until… 12/7/1941? Of course, that was just the Nazi allies.
JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Nobody Voted for Elon Musk | A self-interested, erratic megalomaniac has seized control of the US government.2·4 months agoHey now - give them some credit. They’re 100% aware of what Fox News and other media outlets that seem them too “liberal” as Fox News are telling them!
JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign1·4 months agoNeither of those are unique from a majority of 401(k) plans in the U.S - taking out a loan against it included. You’ll still take a sizeable tax hit on an early distribution from any retirement plan - TSP included. You should be able to do a direct rollover to any active 401(k), 403(b), or IRA penalty free. I worked in the government for 5 years, and a financial planning firm for just about 2.
JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign11·4 months agoMost federal civilian employees are now on a 401(k) equivalent. Air Traffic likes to mention how they are one of the ones left with a pension, but clearly, nothing is guaranteed.

JollyBrancher @lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?5·2 years agoI feel you there. I had to get a new phone ASAP after breaking mine on vacation a few months ago. Didn’t even think to check the specs because I was in a pinch and completely forgot some android manufacturers started dropping them since my last phone purchase.
THEY CAN TAKE AWAY DRINKING BEING ILLEGAL FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS… My bad. I was just confused, because that was a right once, too.
