TASUSTAMATA PROOVIPÄEV ON PALGAVARGUS
Kuna terrassihooaeg on tulemas ja kohvikud-restod otsivad uusi töötajaid, siis meeldetuletus (eriti noortele) - TASUSTAMATA PROOVIPÄEV ON PALGAVARGUS
Kunagi tehti isegi uudis sellest kuidas nimme võeti noori järjest proovipäevadele, et tasuta* tööjõudu ära kasutada, ükskõik kui kogenematu töötaja on

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

Olen nõus, et linnas saab autojuhtide vastupandamatut kihutamise iha taristulahenduste abil kammitsais hoida. Ma ei kujuta aga hästi ette, kuidas see maantel võiks välja näha...
Alles hiljaaegu eemaldati mingil maanteel kahe sõidurea vahel olnud tõke, sest mõnele ei meeldinud.
Kaamerad on vajalikud!

Aga just see on suurepärane idee. Loob turvalise ruumi ja ühtlasi võimaluse kiiresti sõita seal, kus see on ohutu. Just see on see tee, mida peaks minema, mitte iga nurga peale kaamera panemine.

OMB director Russell Vought is MAGA's shrewdest operator. His interview with Tucker Carlson is a Rosetta Stone to decode what's happening right now. In this thread I summarize key points, plus time cues. Listen for yourself!

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

“The pending cuts add to what has already been two months of stress, uncertainty, shifting policies around funding, communications and travel, firings and, in some cases, rehirings — all before President Trump’s nominee for NIH commissioner, Jay Bhattacharya, has been confirmed by the Senate.”

“Nobody feels like their job is safe. Everyone is on edge,” said Kim Hasenkrug, an NIH scientist emeritus… “Even the top people can’t keep track because they’re hiring and firing so much. Direct supervisors of those who were terminated didn’t even know that it was happening.”
At NIH, ‘everyone is on edge’ as they brace for deep cuts and more centralized control
As the NIH braces for cuts of up to 5,000 of its 20,000 positions, “people are scrambling and freaking out,” a researcher said.

One thing everyone should understand is that DOGE has created the least efficient conditions for government I've ever seen.
*The working conditions are chaotic.
*No clear sense of who works there.
*Routine processes have been stopped.
*No planning can take place.

Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.

This is a critical year for Iran’s nuclear programme. Without an off-ramp, Iran could weaponize its nuclear programme — or have its nuclear facilities attacked.
The US and Iran are on the road to escalation. Europe can and should create an off-ramp
The E3 and Tehran have no better option than re-engaging. Failing to do so risks movement towards a weaponized nuclear programme, military escalation, or both.
