Great. Another lying member of the new Congress. Local news just did an expose on Nashville rep Andrew Ogles. GOP redrew the district he ran for to slide him the win.
How many more imposters are in the House?

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.

Never stop

good person because of bad people.

@shoq@mastodon.social as time grows, Twitter will go bankrupt, instead of growing as promised. Tumblr will soon become the new Twitter and will join ActivityPub very soon. Literally, the birdsite became a free-for-all wasteland.

"Though notably, the blog post doesn’t cite any quantitative evidence that Amazon employees have been less productive at home. Instead, Jassy falls back on qualitative intangibles."

Spoiler alert, there isn't any evidence. At best, this is tech CEOs being tone-deaf to employees; at worst, this is corporate leadership trying to force more people to resign. After decades of being "cool", the tech industry is rapidly losing its lustre.

I enjoyed America more before the middle class was ground up to mulch some billionaire's fifteenth home's flower bed.

In U.S. history, it’s been the labor movement that’s done the most to end the inequality of wealth and raise so many out of poverty. Support these workers. Support unions.
