Slowly becoming less wannabe and more gonna be.

Reminder that while these tariffs are the big news item, focus extremely hard on what isn't being today. Work within your communities and harass the fuck out of your politicians, Republican AND Democrat. Maintenance will be the word for at least two years.

It causes damage to the States that rely on federal funding and support. California contributes a LOT directly to many red states.

I have my own guesses, some of them align with this. Though could anyone expound further?

I'm at a stage where I wouldn't mind a job that kills some of my love for something, like IT which I do have a passion for, in order to knock out the rest of my bills and build a safety net. One year at that rate would dismantle the remaining bills plaguing me.

It's fine to ask your team to bear the burden with appropriate compensation on a timeline of hiring to build out a longer, more sustained work week. Do it right and you'll even gain respect, just gotta follow-thru and be open and honest about the difficulties, while acknowledging and working with your team. Then also be present consistently during this transition phase and either help if you can, or stay out of the way if you can't.

Problem is we know this isn't how it'll go down.

This will be a popularity polling sort of case. The prosecutor probably won't go after her, though the probation thing throws a stick in the old spokes.

Easy: People within its ranks will begin to make choices. Not necessarily take action, just make choices. If things continue small insubordinations will occur and eventually rifts at nearly every level.

If things got really bad the military would split into three:

  1. Pro Trump
  2. Pro United States
  3. Undecided/Everyone else.

If this happens it will be a test of the quality of leadership on both major sides. A fundamental breaking of the chain. It's why Trump wants to replace current military leadership: They've told him no. A pattern we'll continue to see for at least two years.

To my knowledge there have been people here on Lemmy stating that it would be best if he stepped down. Oh gentle Canadian neighbors:

Can confirm. This exact thing was on my YouTube feed yesterday. And I mean precisely as OP describes it.
