    I’ve never been much of an accelerationist, but if this is how this mutherfucker plans in getting everything done, then I say throw a match on this shit and get it over with. The sooner this house burns to the ground, the sooner we get back to rebuilding.

        We need better terminology.

        Over 25% of the U.S. workforce is employed full time and does not earn a living wage.

        ETA: I’m not arguing that this issue is endemic to just Trump’s administration. The linked article even says as much, but it’s clear his economic mishandling is exacerbating things.

          Alright that’s a correct take then.

          Decades of wage suppression has lowered median wage across the board and bottom quartile is essentially comical vis a vis cost of living.

          You understand the predicament we got. Original comment I responded to doesn’t.

          Just talking out of his ass for a political circle jerk purposes.

          Useful idiots.

          Only people winning today are owner class and their PMC lapdogs who get enough scraps to buy houses and vacation whole majority of working class is being driven into poverty, on crisis at a time.

    The White House asked federal agencies on Wednesday to prepare plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown next week, marking a sharp departure from the temporary furloughs of workers typically seen during past shutdowns.

    Roughly 300,000 federal civilian workers will have left their jobs by the end of 2025, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told Reuters in August.

    About 154,000 of those employees accepted a buyout and are slated to drop off the U.S. government’s payroll on September 30, the last day of the federal government’s fiscal year. That date is also the deadline for Trump and Congress to reach an agreement on federal spending to avert a shutdown.
