Counterpoint: Windows back then wasn't as reviled as it is now. I also wonder how many of the people upvoting you ever even put their hands on one

"Shutdown pain" is awful right-wing spin. During previous shutdowns these things didn't happen because the executive branch didn't stop paying for them. The Trump Admin bears sole responsibility for choosing to do this

Truck hauling ‘aggressive’ monkeys carrying herpes and COVID overturns in Mississippi in c/news@lemmy.world

The article might've been changed, because it doesn't even say the truck driver said that. Covid and herpes aren't mentioned anywhere

Trump Sues Safeway Circular For False Ham Claims (theonion.com)
 

"The Safeway circular has treated me very badly. They say you can taste the homestyle difference, but you cannot, and there’s no way that ham can be $8.99 per pound after I brought grocery prices to an all-time low. However, that’s nothing compared to the horrendous ham prices we saw under Biden.”

Indeed CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba sent a message to employees stating that roughly 1,300 positions will be eliminated from the company.

"AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employees," Idekoba's email stated. "Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken."

Idekoba said the layoffs will impact...those within the Research and Development, Global Operations, and People and Sustainability sectors.
