To no one's surprise, people with knowledge and experience often have to fix what people without them did.

Proton disabled email accounts belonging to journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency.
Any bets on if that "unspecified cybersecurity agency" was the one actually doing the hacking and it's a 3-letter agency? [Not UCA

"There's 1,400 employees at Opendoor. I don't know what most of them do.
Maybe don't pull a DOGE and find out what they do *before* you fire them, so you don't have to just rehire them when you discover they actually did necessary work?
We don't need more than 200 of them.

we're just going to lose to Trump in the courts because the courts are hopelessly corrupt.
Well... SCOTUS anyway. The lower courts seem to be (mostly) ruling against him -- you know, following the Constitution -- then SCOTUS literally makes up something in his favor, or simply allows it w/o any explanation "for now" with a stay from the shadow docket. I'm sure they'll get around to banning his behavior going forward when a Democrat is/will be in charge.

When Argentina invaded the Falklands, it was because the military dictatorship was falling apart along with the economy (and hardly an empire).
In contrast, Trump's starting out smaller, invading (destroying) a boat carrying, apparently, innocent, people. We'll have to wait to see what he goes after next
People killed in US boat strike were not Tren de Aragua, Venezuela minister says
"They openly confessed to killing 11 people," Interior Minister and ruling party head Diosdado Cabello said on state television. "We have done our investigations here in our country and there are the families of the disappeared people who want their relatives, and when we asked in the towns, none were from Tren de Aragua, none were drug traffickers."
(To be honest/fair, I don't know how trustworthy this guy, or the Venezuelan government, is but have a pretty good idea how (un)trustworthy Trump and his minions are - or, at least, how challenging our President finds the truth, especially truth he doesn't like. At least people stopped talking about Epstein for a while...)

Nobody has accused the BLS of "crap numbers" until Trump decided he didn't like them.
Anything Trump doesn't like he asserts is a lie, usually done to make him look bad. I get *complaining* about such things, but he always goes too far - and with no good/rational explanation. An adult, especially one who takes responsibility for things, would simply acknowledge the bad news and offer actual ideas to correct them. But this is a guy who graduated from business school and doesn't understand who actually pays tariffs

It's unbelievable how many still support this guy when so many of his actions have been contrary to the well being of the vast majority of Americans.
I can think of several reasons people voted for / support Trump - now anyway* - and none paint a flattering picture of those supporters.

But you can be sure that if the numbers stay / keep going down, someone at BLS will be getting fired (again).
