What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Men embracing reading is the absolute worst thing to happen to manosphere influencers and hate groups. They don't know how to pivot to take advantage of that. It's not like Andrew Tate is going to be able to lead a YouTube discussion on Watchmen.

I don't think people outside of NYC fully see how incredibly RACIST Cuomo's campaign has been. It rivals any of the most racist campaigns of the 20th century. Just racism all the way down.
