This is how bad things have gotten. Complete fucking dystopia. We have a guy whose bio says “engineer who made some stuff” and that stuff is super-intelligence that is destroying our society as we know it. And instead of these fucking assholes taking responsibility they chime in on X and say”it’s going to get a whole lot worse.” You and the majority of people who have been fixiated on created a weapon of mass destruction should all be in fucking prison.
@Qwik@PrizePicks Since when was Pokemon just this big fucking market to exploit? Y'all are pathetic and this kind of garbage is completely against the spirit of a card game. No true fan would use this shit.
@ThePyromancer@Brad_Cone@JennMGreenberg If you wanna tear apart a beloved book series like this one, you start with Magicians Nephew that way you can upend everything about Narnia from the getgo, and establish it as "Lore" to be used for future films. Of course, I don't think there will be future films.
"We can't/won't pay our workers, so you the consumer, shall subsidize our workforce. Also we need $5 million in PPP loans to stay afloat during these tumultuous times."
As a former Kroger employee I can say that Kroger might be a more evil corporation than Walmart. Kroger gets to hide behind having a unionized workforce, but management treats that workforce like mere serfs at best, and illiterate dumbfucks at worst.
KROGER SLASHING 3,000 MORE AMERICANS TODAY AS THEY OUTSOURCE JOBS TO INDIA
Greg Foran became Kroger CEO on February 9, 2026. He ran Walmart US from 2014 to 2019. In 2016 he pulled accounting and invoicing out of every store and erased 7,000 back office jobs.
In 2018 Walmart handed its finance and accounting operations to Genpact, a firm with most of its workforce in India.
NOW HE IS USING THE SAME PLAYBOOK TO CUT JOBS AT KROGER
On his first earnings call in March, Kroger announced the Indian “Global Capability Center." CFO David Kennerley told investors it would "streamline decision-making, improve productivity and increase the speed at which we execute."
In July, consultant Brittain Ladd, citing people inside Kroger, reported the center is in India and the target is $500M a year in labor savings. At $87,500 per offshored role, that is roughly 5,700 US jobs.
3,000 MORE OF THEM CAME TODAY
His memo to employees today: “Our business is becoming leaner, more focused and more competitive. This transformation will also result in fewer roles across the company, which means we will reduce our corporate workforce across many functions.”
Code for, fuck your job, I can get it done cheaper in India.
Just look at what Foran has done with his executives. Jamie Lancaster, Global VP of the Kroger Capability Center, out in May. Tim Massa, Chief Associate Experience Officer, out. Valerie Jabbar and Joe Kelley, SVPs of Retail Divisions, out.
Foran replaced them with Walmart people. Mark Ibbotson is now Chief Store Operations Officer. Nate Faust is Chief E-commerce Officer. Both worked at Walmart with Foran.
Both know how to help Foran outsource American jobs.
@marcoAmericanaa@KyleKulinski For real. Imagine if "The left" spent even half the amount of time organizing the "People's movement" they all claim to so feverishly want beyond all other considerations — rather than complaining about MAGA, they might've done what they set out to do. But it's Trump's fault fs.
@xy1_mx@Lurpzy@AtlantisGS@JakeSucky I did too, but what I didn't think was cool was how even with a mini gun you couldn't kill people by virtue of the movement and high ttk..ruined the whole game
@DeeboComingg@david_1z@TheNCSmaster Caution against thinking about a "Hard reset." Even the French Revolution could not fully abolish and replace the old system, it merely reinvented the definition of who could sit at the top.... And that was an extremely violent and bloody revolution. What will the next look like?
@david_1z@TheNCSmaster After three tiers have been established: "Low cost with ads," "Medium cost with ads only at the beginning" and "No ads" for a year or two and subscriber numbers stagnate, they announce that all three tiers will start seeing ads...
@MrArazz@_everythingism@HormuzLetter Of course, except France has less than 50% of the population of the United States and the geographic area of France is the size of one large US state. Not only is our geography extremely variable, the culture in America is as well. Every state's Democrats and GOP are different.
@Vinny_@CBSNews Y'all are fucking retarded, and malignant. A cancer to any decent people who live in a decent society. You're as "Subhuman" as they come.
