You thought it was bad for Obama? Buckle up, we're in for a wild ride.

Saw the title, figured it couldn't be that bad. Read the article. It is that bad.

First time?

(It's their playbook. It's how they killed occupy wall street)

I think you misread. He said "disguising", which only means intent to keep hidden by masking the truth.

You're correct in theory. However, in practice it's likely to end up the same way publishing CEO salaries ended up leading to a constant rise in CEO salaries, rather than curtailing them, as intended.

A similar thing happens at the company I just joined. It has a "move fast" culture. I push for new roles that are genuinely needed now. My boss "approves", but finance puts the brakes on for review. HR doesn't want me yelling at them, so they post the job to "get a jump on collecting resumes".

If I lose the battle with finance, the job evaporates. If I win, we scoop up the resumes, and hire someone within a week.

Holden was the only real one. And a few firms used to produce locally. Then the government didn't offer any subsidies to keep them on shore. They all shut down and left the country. Now everything is imported. Real shame. They were great pipelines of talent.

Meh, I don't think the comment matters. Fashion has always been a discussion topic. Remember Obama's tan suit? Or all the criticisms on Trump's ill fitting suits?

You give the Dems too much credit. It's easier to believe they're weak and ineffectual.

Use more butter/oil than you normally would. Let the pan heat up properly before adding your egg. Don't try to flip it until after it's had a chance to cook a bit first. (just like you don't try to flip a pancake too quickly)

Do those three things, no more eggs falling apart.

Politics shift to the right when people feel disparity, and their future looks break. Politics shift left when people feel optimistic about their future.
