Employment numbers just came out but of course they're behind the times already.
I just saw a CBS report that says 200,000 government employees have been fired already.
Yeah the jobs report only has the first 10,000 or so, iirc
We need to take the same approach with family that the country should be taking with red states: ignore their existence and make them pay for their stupidity and mismanagement. Make them admit wrongdoing, be accountable, and prove they're progressing in the proper direction(s). Perpetuating their mental health and disinformation campaigns or engaging them to provide their petty platform is a similar enabling of addicts. Make them live what they've constructed and ignore their perceived issues. Once these people turn inward, on a large scale, then perhaps healing can begin but the country can't heal with a bunch of mental issues baked into a large amount of US lives
I think that's the opposite of what's needed.
Start insisting that they help pay your bills
I've cut out all of my maga family. Fuck 'em. I don't depend on any of them for anything so the can pound sand.
If i had family like that I'd slash their tires
