I remember when the China, France, a Latin American consortium… even Cuban released their versions of the COVID vaccine, and US officials fell all over one another insisting they didn’t work.
I wonder how the US will respond if we lack any kind of for-profit answer to another pandemic. Will our demolition of the FDA mean we can acquire medication abroad? Or will the US crack down on vaccine tourism out of paranoia?
Seems like the US might abandon even the pretense of being a global pharmaceutical leader in the rush to return to its quack roots.
This is going to be bad.
I’m in some homesteading/backyard chicken groups, and they are already gearing up some disturbing conspiracy narratives. “Bird flu” isn’t real, and it’s a ploy by the globalists to kill off poultry to force us to EAT ZE BUGS and fake meat. There will be people who will be ready to revolt against any action taken to prevent or control the outbreak.
The same types are also pushing raw milk.
We are going to have another pandemic, with an administration that is actively hostile to public health and already has a track record of exacerbating this previous one - responsible for the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. This is intentional as part of the accelerationist project to break down the US into micro fiefdoms.
If you think that’s bad you don’t want to know what they put inside the fake meat. Let’s just say that it’s not a coincidence that there are now more genders. /s
How do you accidentally sack someone?
You have to specifically choose a person, presumably with an actual reason for sacking them, then reach out to them specifically to inform them of their sacking.
In my country you also require a valid reason for doing so, you can’t just randomly sack someone, I imagine in this case it would be being made redundant.
So, you decide your staff are no longer required and if their contract allows you to let them go (or you just pay the big severance or whatever), okay cool.
Then you… change your mind? What?
That’d be a deeply incompetent employer. Like, buffoon levels. I wouldn’t go back to working for someone like that. If nothing else, they’ve shown how little they care about their staff. Not worth it.
Elon Musk has a consistent pattern of doing exactly this over and over.
Not just Elon. It’s the hedge fund playbook. Aquire a company, strip it for parts, collect profit, move on to the next business.
The Federal government is being liquidated as a going concern. Elon is leading the charge because he’s the most successful in his field.
It’s about the 6th separate incident in gov I’ve heard of in the last few weeks.
The morons fired every federal employee who was classified as “probationary”, in multiple departments. This is all employees with less than 90 days in their current role, but because these idiots don’t know anything about anything, they assumed it meant new hires only.
Others have pointed out that the US largely practices “at will” employment (IIRC, only one state doesn’t), and that’s true, but government workers do tend to have stronger protections than private sector workers. But probationary status is a whole other can of worms.
The incompetence is palpable. They would be far more nefarious if they weren’t tripping over their own balls all the time.
I hope these people renegotiate a good contract.
It’s almost like they rushed the decision and are incompetent.
