I can't be anything other than exhausted by the whole "Gulf of America" thing because Japan and South Korea have been annoyingly stalemated over the "Sea of Japan/East Sea" for decades. Petty posturing of the highest form. Also, all that was Mexico first, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@JapanIntercult In addition (I work for a JPN car manufacturing plant in IN) Trump is actually causing MORE concern for the future of expansions, etc, in the US due the trade war. So many companies have plans that not are being extended or are delayed because of so much uncertainty...
As an in-house interpreter I have what appears to be a cushy office job on the outside but really is a "gets my steps in and turns my brains to pudding on the daily" kind of job (but I kind of love it??)
Wanting to "bring home" manufacturing (which is nigh-impossible anyway) but at the same time get rid of OSHA is perhaps the most blatant display of how much theses oligarchs just want Americans (below them) to die
BREAKING: Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.
The entire text of the bill reads "The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is repealed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is abolished."
@AliceBreckwith And I agree with that sentiment, lord knows I've been taken advantage of that way at work, but then I really think it should be "your superiors are not your friends" bc coworkers horizontal to me have often been the only saving grace a job has had
I just had hot pot at a coworker's house with another interpreter and his wife; I moved in with a friend from my last job and am very pleased; I still talk to my work partner from two jobs ago - your coworkers are not NPCs bro, they can be great additions to your life
Today my dad told my mom he's working with a doctor on a plan to address his alcoholism, my roommate lost her job, and I have a ticket to kinky bingo at a BDSM club, so it's A Day
I made soup AND homemade pickled onions, started laundry, and am now doing homework. I intend to also shower before bed. Idk how I know but I feel manic as hell
