Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc the PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly. A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

I don't think The Clash was talking about Rudy Giuliani when they composed that song.

So we pay Kaiser $30,000.00 per year for so called health insurance and Friday my wife brought our 16 YO in for an MRI on doctor recommendation (she’s fine). Copay was $200.00. Unreal. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

“I'm sorry to inform u but ur proving her right with this tweet. THEY DIDN’T CUT CHILD POVERTY IN HALF, THAT WAS PROPAGANDA. They won't even raise the minimum wage, ffs. It's a cult in the exact same way as MAGA, ur just in the blue cult rather than the red one”-@leftychipmunk
Rose McGowan goes on Fox News to say that Democrats are in a cult & are, "against changing the world for the better," right after Dems unilaterally pass legislation to cut child poverty IN HALF & are working on the most climate-oriented policy America has ever had. OK Rose 🙄

The @FSF has failed: it has entirely lost the faith of the communities that it putatively serves. In addition to expunging RMS, the board -- @gknauth, Gerry Sussman, @HenryPoole, @odileb, and (yes, even) @mindspillage -- all must go. rms-open-letter.github.io/

Not a proud day for the Marines.
This is what happens when you report your assault in the @USMC He admits his guilt and then is retained by the Commanding General after everyone else recommended do not retain. @RepSpeier @SenGillibrand @KamalaHarris @SecDef this is bullshit. #metoomilitary #sexualassault
