That is a fun fact!

I was slow to warm up to The Prisoner when I started watching it, but The Schizoid Man, episode 5, won me over. What a fantastic premise and execution.

And yet Snowden and Manning (etc) get worse for much less.

Good article - however, it’s a bit sloppy around conflating renewable energy generation and “green economy”. At the top he states that increased renewables is leading to increase in CO2 emissions, but every example given is related to carbon offsetsl, carbon credit, and carbon accounting schemes in capitalism used to greenwash actual fossil fuel growth. Which, in my view, is not dependent on renewables production.

Anyway, the problem is capitalism and O&G taking advantage of carbon schemes to increase profits, rather than real work towards degrowth and renewables replacing O&G use.

It did its job, which was to support an Israeli invasion

Ah yes, me, well-known Biden lover.

To answer your question, because there is enough out there that is actually worth criticising and pointing out, we don’t also need to make up things that aren’t true. Lying about this one only makes the rest of the actual mush brained word salad less impactful.

The right has the ability to le and distort the truth and that’s fine for them, but on the left we have no need for that. We can tell the truth about what’s going on and it supports our position.

Edit: nah, you’re right. I made a bad call on this.

He’s done worse. This is just him starting and changing sentences multiple times.

He’s proud to be the…

(New sentence) The first black vice president…

(New sentence) Under the first black president… (When he himself was vp under Obama)

(New sentence) Appointed the first black woman to the Supreme Court…

-he was just listing three things that he’s been involved with that relate to black politicians

Aren’t all anti-communist activities money laundering schemes?

This is a good summary. To simplify/describe it slightly differently, the definitions of capitalism and communism and socialism decribe the relationships between workers and the value of the work that they do.

Under capitalism, owners own the business and employ workers who are paid wages. The value of the products or services that the workers make is more than they are paid - and this extra value produced (profit) goes back to the owner. Thus, you end up with two classes of people, the workers/wage laborers (proletariat in communist jargon), and the owners (bourgeoisie in communist jargon).

In socialism, the workers own the businesses, and so the profit goes back to them instead of to the non-working owners. Thus in socialism, there is only the one class, the workers, and the bourgeoisie class has been removed.

This is extremely simplified, but I think describes the overall work and value relationships under the two systems.

I hope this helps too.

This is 4 weeks old, not last night

This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?

If you can find it “Busytown” is a great kids show set on the world of Richard Scarry

I am in a similar situation in that I often feel like I’m doing things wrong and could be reprimanded at any time. This is not how work is supposed to be structured, even by ghouls. Good managers give clear expectations, and regular, informal feedback. This actually makes their jobs better, because when people are comfortable they don’t hide problems - which is an action that can lead to huge failures later on.

So, I think what you’re experiencing is common, and is a byproduct of poor management. I have had good managers and the difference in work culture is astounding. One can be confident at work with good management.

Otherwise, you just have to assume you’re doing a good job, or you can actually just ask for clearer definition of goals and tasks, which might help.

I doubt it
