    The percentage of ‘prepared to support’ went slightly down from 56%to 54%, which is 2 percentage points or around 4%.
    The percentage of ‘not prepared to support’ went up from 36% to 41%, which is 5 percentage points or around 14%.
    The numbers are still kind of unbelievable, but at least the trend points into the right direction.
    Well, isn’t Trump the one who loves the poorly educated?
    Although he is dumb as fuck, he understood that part.

    While it’s just a poll and should be met with healthy skepticism, this is also where we are at as a nation. If you’re horrified by the result of this poll, me too, but that’s an illustration of how much work needs to be done. Now is not the time to wallow or wring our hands or rend our clothes. Now is the time for action. Things won’t get better without your help.

    Yup. Buckle up buckaroos.

    Got an email from HR this morning to make sure that any employees who were late had it noted on their time cards and any one who had to leave for doctors visits had the proper doctors note upon return.

    It’s been years since we’ve been requiring any of this sort of stuff but suddenly we are going to start dicking the employees again and not just here.

    My wife told me, she was told by a friend in HR that her company that they anre about to start rolling out some pretty draconian rules for employees (right out of the Project 2025 playbook).

    Prepare to enter the Fuck Around and Find Out stage my friends.

          Doctors note is a bit extreme unless it’s a repeat issue. Being late for work and it being an issue is hardly “draconian”. Hard to take complaints seriously when this is what the sky is falling is supposed to look like. I’d save terms like that for overtime being removed, workplace protections being stripped, nlrb being overturned, not “I can’t just show up whenever”

        Wait until you get an adult job where they don’t treat you like a criminal/thief/moocher by default.

    Please buckle your seat belts and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. We are now entering the “Find Out” portion of the ride. God luck.

    Where is the survey data? The article link just points to more articles editorializing.

    If they just asked 1000 people willing to answer a survey from an unknown caller that’s not exactly the heartbeat of a nation.

    Are these the same Americans that don’t know that the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, but want different things to happen to each? Fuck us all.
