Voted this morning with my mom
It was a bit emotional finally getting to cast my vote for @AndrewYang
It's unfortunate that everything was basically "decided" months before I could voice my vote
But, if there's one person I trust to unite us, it's Yang

@HazardsIvy@BrandonKnows89 @ogshaunj @toyyalynai@judgingyou63501@TDHBXG In general, everyone is accountable for themselves becoming a single parent; however, we shouldn't be spreading misinformation drive that point home through a sense of fear but rather empowering folks with knowledge and economic opportunities so they form good partnerships
@HazardsIvy@BrandonKnows89 @ogshaunj @toyyalynai@judgingyou63501@TDHBXG There could be a whole host of factors but the only way to minimize the risks of being a single mother or single father is not having children until you're in a truly committed relationship and are economically ready and holding yourself to that standard
@HazardsIvy@BrandonKnows89 @ogshaunj @toyyalynai@judgingyou63501@TDHBXG Hey, don't worry, there are actually studies that have been done on this as well. Turns out black fathers are the most involved in raising their kids based on CDC studies while living in the same household as the child and while not: https://t.co/vHiSKVvuV4
@InnerVision2020 @FearedBuck DEI is just a convenient word they use to say, "I experience cognitive dissonance when I'm confronted with a person who relatively succeeds that doesn't look like the people I grew up thinking could be successful. Now, I'm going to make this uncomfortable feeling their problem"
@InnerVision2020 @FearedBuck From lived experiences, I promise you those same people still would have had a "hmm?" moment before DEI became a thing considering I've been on the receiving end of it since elementary school 20+ years ago.
@RobinSMessing@LuxFella I do data migration similar to this and at Elon's pace... It's impossible. Understanding the core principles behind the software takes months to years to replicate it in more modern languages...let alone the time it'd take to know it well enough to accurately spot fraud
@LuxFella Just want to add that this is also really important for when there actually is fraud or if folks need to make any kind of court appeal. Trying to "depulicate" all the records actually makes people more susceptible to fraud because that means there's no history to prove you're you
@jessalanfields@unusual_whales We need an overhaul of regulations, departments, and KPIs that can accurately measure productivity against costs. These issues transcend both "DEI" and "the swamp"
@jessalanfields@unusual_whales DEI isn't why government work is expensive, and tbh it is most likely 1% of the cost at most. While merit is good, DEI doesn't intrinsically take away from productivity anymore than the traditional nepotism aka "the swamp"
@per_anders@unusual_whales While govt spending with tax dollars is still bad and need major fixing. The Open AI stuff is just private companies saying how they are using their own private money: https://t.co/P1bKw94IOX
There's enough problems where we don't need to make up stuff
@tutueme@unusual_whales Example from my experiences: blousing boots
Everyone was sloppy and just trying to get it done in time until the DI said, "Your trousers will get in the way." Took a little longer at first, but suddenly, everyone got the memo when folks started tripping and connected the dots
@DanAdvantage@unusual_whales 5 pt2. That said most of GenZ's financial issues are tied to things society has deemed/made necessary. Phones, cars, internet, housing, education, healthcare. By generation, genZ on avg spends the least percentage of their income on truly frivolous purchases... so fix the economy
@DanAdvantage@unusual_whales 3. Outlaw layoffs. If companies don't owe adequate notice, then you can't expect it from employees
4. Plenty of folks doing this in every age bracket. Check Caleb Hammer if you don't believe me
5. There is excess consumerism; however, society promotes this onto everyone
@tutueme@unusual_whales Because "I said so" isn't a good reason and will decrease the morale of any troops with avg intelligence and above if the order given seems like a bad decision. A leader is supposed to give their subordinate purpose. If they can't, then they've failed as a leader
Plain and simple
@tutueme@unusual_whales Went to Parris Island and did a summer at a naval base (as a civilian in ROTC programs). Understanding why orders are made is paramount if you want a great platoon/brigade/corp/etc.
Every member should understand why an order is given out to boost the groups morale
