Here's the year-on-year change in filled jobs. The yellow line is partial data but it is a bit more up-to-date.
While those lines stay below the white zero line, we will continue to lose jobs. Fewer jobs = less demand = fewer jobs. It's uncomplicated. [2/n]

When LA *is* burning, Trump watches Fox News and threatens to pull emergency funding for existing fires in California.

When LA *isn't* burning, Trump goes on Fox News to announce he is spending MILLIONS on people in uniforms to pretend to stop nonexistent fires in California.

A parent: You're letting your child get the flu vaccine?

Me: Yes.

Parent: But [insert the most ignorant pseudoscientific shit I've ever heard]

Me: Don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't ask you.

ACC staff are not happy, which is why more tips keep coming in. That right there should be indicative to management of serious problems. Here’s a wrap of where things are at after three weeks of reporting these issues.
Three weeks of ugly headlines and ACC's leadership crisis just got worse
Drunken inappropriateness, ‘physical contact’, a shirtless video call, conflict of interest concerns. What are ACC execs up to?
