Yeah, its pretty crazy how fast it happened. I think its the combination of two factors: Even among the more conservative workers, there are at least a few policies they dont like, plus the absolutely chaotic and sloppy implementation of it all.

So you think you are a serf because customs will give you the stink eye when you waste their time?

Ok then.

Plus, "It's illegal to leave without a passport" is really "we are fining you for wasting our custom's/border patrol's time when your dumb ass tries to get back into the US without a passport".

Yeah, I do not think the other commenter has ever traveled outside of the US before. No US officials or police or whatever care about your passport when you leave, but the country you are going to cares a lot.

I cant type. Meant latter not former, oops

There is a pretty big different between "will get fined upon returning" and "will be physically stopped from leaving" and "can't" clearly implies the former.

You really should never give anyone legal advice buddy. Please tell me the firm so I can avoid it if I need a good lawyer.

You dont need permission to leave, unless the country is like North Korea or something.

You *do* need permission to *enter* other countries though. Which is probably what you are thinking of (a passport) but you clearly dont understand it at all.

You should probably not give legal assistance.

Should also include some sort of stadium factor. Just raw FG% Against seems like a pretty bad statistic.

Never. Gotta decide whether Clannad or Summer Pockets will be next on the list.

I did this myself a few years ago, it also gives me an excuse to play VNs more. Because if I'm reading in Japanese, I can convince myself its productive to read Little Busters for 200 hours.

Hopefully it becomes clearer this week. I'm interested in hearing about whether the move to 1B is the priority or if they see it more as positional flexibility and they will move him to 1B if they cant get an answer there via FA/trade.

As someone who loved Rewrite, maybe I should play F/SN. Although I know that there's a whole lot more to Fate than just that, which has kept me away for a while.

My only nitpick is that Rewrite can't be peak fiction when Little Busters exists (also on sale btw).

The people already there know how their agency functions pretty well and should be able to identify the easy budget cuts. Some random DOGE rep asking ChatGPT wont.

Also spoiler alert: the answers are probably to cut rent on office space and reduce management/admin jobs.

I just think its crazy that they think the "efficient" solution is to send a DOGE rep to every single agency...

The actual efficient solution to cut costs would be to tell all the agencies that they are getting a 5% budget cut and should expect that every year until further notice.

Do you not know anyone who works in the private sector? There is a lot of remote work going on there.

If you tell all the government workers to work from the office 5 days a week, initiate layoffs, and you still offer lower wages than private industry... you will only retain the poor workers.

Trump is an "agent of change"? Is this guy stuck in 2016?

Yeah it seems there's not much sports related content here yet, all the beat reporters and such don't have accounts.

I'll be thankful for it when baseball season starts again and I need a place to hide from the perpetual awfulness of the Pittsburgh Pirates though.
