I lean towards return to office and I think that @jolly is of the same mind. In the article above, I think that #1 is a big problem. I have seen it myself. New people who start remote always seem to be a step behind. I think that having a new person be fully remote is a mistake, no matter what industry. But, if you are going to bring new people into the office during their initial period, then you need to have experienced people there also. LOL For me, (I know it is only a single data point), but I work better in the office (though I do like it better working from home. LOL). For example, if I need to talk to legal about about a contract or negotiation, it better for me to go down to the office, sit with them at a table and discuss. Easier than back and forth DM's, emails, or setting up a on line meeting. And realistically, me being there in person increases the odds that I will be able to meet with them and talk with them. And the comment about managers more likely to layoff remote workers before in person workers, I think is true also. Human nature. Of course WFH vs RTO is job specific, and also depends on the personality of the person doing the work. I get that. But, overall and in general terms, I think that there are more benefits to being in the office than being home.

Interesting.

Interesting video and gives some thought for things. I think it is very correct about people over-estimate how much they think their house is worth. A lot of that is because of the emotional part of things. People oftentimes put a price on memories, not realizing that someone buying their house doesn't care about that.

@Doctor-Phibes said in RFK Confirmed: To be fair to Trump, that was before he realised that Kennedy could be bought off with his dream job. LOL. Sad but true. (see numerous other examples of this, such as [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthedeepdive.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F07%2FDonald-Trump-Truth-Social-Elon-Musk-967x1024.jpeg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=c751feee14e727220ea8296b18313432dde6843437b533f4e1d636a718824ad6&ipo=images]

@89th said in Might be the lowest in 60 years?: Excellent. Step 1 should be secure the border, Step 2 should be immigration reform to make the process more efficient. This. Immigration is the only reason the US is growing.

LOL just this morning my wife was trying to tell me a story while I was getting the 4 and 2 year old dressed, both who are loud and don't stop talking, so I literally told my wife "just yell the story to me, I can't hear you!"

@Jolly said in Hallelujah!: I buy the kits that have a vent and a spout. Then refit my cans. +1

That was the premise I was going off of, too, Jon.

Just in time for tax season!

@Mik said in Top 44: Menu looks good. Voodoo Mambo or Fish Quebedeaux.

@Horace said in A trillion here and a trillion there...: This debt thing sure does seem like a looming tidal wave that we have no plan for. Musk has been pretty blunt about it, more than most politicians. It will bankrupt us in the not-so-distant future. And who knows more about bankruptcies than...

Visas can be revoked at the stroke of a pen. Just saying..

@Jolly said in $20 Billion: And Washington owned slaves. Agree, but you have to look at the whole work done by him, the time he was living, the context, etc. And I think that even with him owing slaves, most people agree that he is one of the better US president ever. I am sure that we can find one thing that President Biden did well, (LOL), but that does not make his president term great.

Should I ever have an urge to hurt Mr. Trump, I will resist it.

Expert swamp creatures have sufficient experience to know not to publish their list. That's why experience is so important for these cabinet positions. Gotta give the supporters plausible deniability. Keep their rhetorical quivers full.

Better than funding Gaza hip-hop.
