Here's the thing... a tiny bit of devil's advocate here just to make sure we're maintaining a bit of objectivity and not rushing to demonize, even though it's Intuit and everything they do is fucking atrocious anyway. At least let's make sure we are criticizing them for legitimate reasons.

IF we ignore the fact it's the genocidal IDF we're talking about here specifically... what would this situation look like if it were say the US Army Reserve instead?

Reservists having orders and needing time off from their day jobs isn't exactly uncommon. Granted, the time frames here are probably longer than most of those instances. This isn't something outrageous or particularly unexpected for military reserve employees.

I don't know specific laws, but I'm willing to bet there are some about employers being required to approve requests related to military service. Whether those laws are specific enough to only refer to US armed forces is potentially questionable. As we've seen recently, apparently there are a shocking number of laws that are vague and lack specificity but just haven't made their way through the courts for that before. It wouldn't be surprising if simply applying that towards all military reserve versus just US could have a legal justification to prevent lawsuits against the company.

However, I can't remember ever hearing about a company freely letting employees wear their US Army uniforms to everyday work. Especially a desk job. That's batshit crazy. Openly allowing it is even crazier.

The article's focus on the time off affecting workflows and that sort of thing are par for the course anytime someone takes time off at most companies. Because no one actually hires enough staff to start with, and especially not enough to properly cover for time off requests. It sucks for them obviously, but that is in no way specific to Intuit, that's entirely on the lack of worker protections, either via law or through collective bargaining/Unionization.

What a way to commemorate the complete failure of the Founding Father's vision.

Considering the current state of the world... and the fact I work with at least 2 people that would 100% believe it was genuine... is that really satire?

Well, sorry to inform you that you are terrible at recognizing satire then.

There's literally a massive Wikipedia page for the character of Stephen Colbert.

The Reverend Sir Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World is the fictionalized persona of political satirist Stephen Colbert, as portrayed on the Comedy Central series The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and occasionally on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS. Described as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed high-status idiot" and a "self-important right-wing commentator", he incorporates aspects of the real Colbert's life and interests but is primarily a parody of cable news pundits, particularly former Fox News prime time host Bill O'Reilly.

On April 23, 2014, the character appeared on The Daily Show to announce that he had clearly "won television" and would be ending The Colbert Report because he had met his goal. This came after the real Colbert announced that he would not be using the character when he replaced David Letterman as the host of The Late Show on CBS in 2015.

Colbert didn't change at all. He just stopped playing a clearly over the top conservative character.

Just to clarify... you think that his clearly satirical character from The Colbert Report, before the Late Show, was real? And that he changed when he took over the Late Show? Rather than just leaving the obviously satirical character behind?

Well, you can get the hardware now for one.

Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.

I feel like this is something Liam (The Plant Slant) would wear in one of his videos.

One step at a time. Support for an entire manufacturer's line, not just a couple hardware configurations is a massive step already for a distro that was originally designed for specific hardware.

Not just disloyalty, insubordination.

Their point is that the dinner attempt is just another poorly executed staged attempt for publicity and sympathy from a wannabe dictator that's losing support extremely quickly.

He started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. That is so clearly obvious that even MAGA informed have been turning against him.

This reeks of a blatant attempt to artificially increase support like many two bit dictators have done on the past. It worked last time.

Because middle manglement has a constant compulsive need to justify their existence by finding new ways and metrics to "manage".

So... He attends the dinner for the first time after 5 years of not going... And there's a shooter that doesn't actually shoot anyone?

They're not even attempting to hide their false flags anymore are they?
