I'm sure they'll be able to find a job with Tesla forest service, X public health, or other private companies that spring up. Of course they'll need to get used to the "market rate" of poverty wages and no benefits but hey it's better this way, right? /s

The profound stupidity of these people hurts my head.

Ides of March gonna be crazy this year

This meme made my day and gave me a good chuckle. Thank you.

Anecdotal but I have managed a fleet of over 1000 Lenovo Chromebooks for almost a decade and have found them to be solid and easily repaired when needed. We also have had no issues with a tiny fleet of Thinkpads.

The only major issue I've run into was the supply chain issues during the pandemic. Not unique to Lenovo but was interesting that it was exacerbated by Lenovo being found to use components from subsidiaries that regularly used forced labor in manufacturing.

Compensating.

I have high school aged children so all of the sabre rattling is unsettling to me. I would love my kids to maybe explore degree programs outside of the US because I don't see things getting better anytime soon. I don't want them sucked into some bullshit conflict started by that guy.

Lol. Get fucked.

I don't live in Iowa but have a small farm and live surrounded by farmers and ranchers. You have to understand that these people have the tiniest of perspective to the world. They spend almost their entire lives on one property, rarely go anywhere due to the nature of farming, and constantly have right-wing radio on in the truck and the barn and fox news on at home. You combine that with limited education across multiple generations and you have a group of people perfectly suited to consistently buy into propaganda and almost never able to identify things that will eat their face in the end.

Isn't Iowa one of those shithole countries? /s

I work in a K12 school and no school in our state mandates COVID vaccines. While we keep track of any/all vaccinations and report them to the state health department per state law, a parent can also submit exemption paperwork for individual vaccinations to not get them or not report them.

Whatever brainworm guy says at the federal level doesn't mean shit because it's state law. However what it does accomplish is getting dumb fucks riled up with misinformation and propaganda so they frequently call or email schools to harass and threaten school employees. This happens frequently in my school and neighboring schools. It serves as a useful distraction while various government funding streams and programs are cut.

For anyone else in the US ... Look at Mr. Moneybags here with 2 (2!) eggs for breakfast. Sheesh. Some people just gotta flaunt their wealth.
