Yep, it certainly is, but hardly anyone ever talks about it, especially not in mainstream media. Why? Because the ones doing it, i.e. the corporations, own the media. They're not going to tell on themselves. Instead they'll gaslight and lie about supposedly "rampant" retail theft that is nowhere near as widespread as they like to claim and constantly report. And gullible people believe them because it's on the news, it must be real, right?
It was announced on 1/8/23 that police have solved the 1987 double murder of David Knobling and Robin Edwards which was included in the series of 4 double murders collectively known as the Colonial Parkway Murders that took place between 1986-1989 in southeastern Virginia....
Has he been to an office before? Just because you're in an office doesn't mean you're "working hard." Lots of people do random web browsing, online shopping, etc., while at work and on the clock. Typical belief of old timers. They think your presence at a desk is somehow a magical indicator of a hard worker.
Many company executives now regret their initial return-to-office plans, as 80% say they would have approached it differently if they understood employee preferences. While some firms are requiring more in-office time, citing collaboration needs, others are scaling back requirements due to retention issues. Successful companies...
The companies that continue to try to force RTO will just alienate most millennials and zoomers. Good luck finding a wide enough group of people to fill those jobs you supposedly need filled. Most workers hate RTO, no matter how much BS, posturing, and gaslighting you do corporate, you're not going to win this one.
I used to have a 32x back in the day, but you know, Sega did what they did, and it didn’t really pan out. I thought the mushroom system was cool tech, but lamented how little value it added to the Genesis. I essentially gave it away....
I mean why not right? I plan to get one eventually along with a Sega CD. I bought a Saturn a couple years ago and only have 1 game for it still (Virtua Fighter). But I wanted one so I got one. I remember playing one during the national tour they did right before launch back in the day. I think someone I knew growing up had a 32X and a different person had a SCD, but I didn't know anyone that had them both.

Exactly. What do 80+ year olds know about the needs of modern kids, teenagers, and young adults? Hell, many of them probably still think rent is like $50/month.

Born 1969, he might as well be a Boomer, cause he sure acts like one. The early Gen X cuspers, of which he is one, are basically just younger Boomers IMO. Or Xoomers if you prefer. Dude sounds like a giant POS and can GTFO.

Same thing with banning books. This is fascist bullshit and it's not about protecting children or anyone else. It's about pushing their false Christianity, their christofascism on everyone whether they like it or not and trying to turn the country into a fascist "Christian" theocractic dictatorship where they can say and do whatever they want whenever they want about anything or anyone but no one else can.
I have actually read it cover to cover as well. But just because something is written in a book doesn't make it true. The genre of fiction exists. And the very concept of religion, all of them are made up. As in there was a time in the history of Earth where no religion existed. Dinosaurs didn't have religion for example, and they came before humans, who created religion.
Jesus, whom they claim to love/worship/etc., would be labeled a dirty commie/socialist by them for wanting to help the poor, sick, and needy. And for loving everyone. They hate Jesus. They worship supply side Jesus AKA Republican Jesus.
