Been a government employee for 15 years, before that spent 21 years of military service working with civil service employees. EVERYONE knows that the whole hiring and accountability process in civil service is a joke. Almost impossible to fire under performers. Its why nobody wants these people around.
yes .. had 27 years as a civil engineer civilian employee with 4 agencies ... we learned to live with the 80/20 rule .. 80% of the problems are caused by 20% of the people .. and 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people .. and your 'job' as a manager was to motivate the middle 60% to shift to the right of the bell curve ..
Exactly why I am not totally upset with RFK Jr's appt. Some of these Dept need a house cleaning. Ezra once again just attacks or lumps RFK jr into a crazy column, but he has never said he is anti-vax...he wants them tested as other drugs are tested...l don't see what is wrong with this. Also he wants to bring down the connection between the agency and Big Pharma which has the opportunities for Corruption...I don't see anything wrong with this either. I did not vote Repub...but I don't like what the left does in reporting on some of these people...misrepresenting their positions..same as what Fox does to them..Stop It...report the Truth and what they actually say and want.
I have a friend who works in DOD who has said similar things... but he's also pointed out everyone knows Republicans are not interested in accountability. They are not looking to fire under-performers, they are looking to fire liberals/progressives or people who aren't MAGA.
I love hearing you guys slice and dice in the same way the dem party splits hairs til there’s nothing useful remaining. People are broke or poor, they live hand to mouth. It’s the economy stupid.
I live and work in DC. There're plenty of very bright, extremely hardworking federal employees and contractors. There's also a few that stroll in at 10 a.m., take 2-hour lunch breaks, and then leave for the day at 2 p.m. If you ask these types to do anything work-related, they'll report you to HR for harassment.
As it was meant to, the title of this vid reminds me of the "in this house we believe" signs. A thought just struck as to one of the problems with this idea... Everyone in the house believes the same things? Most houses I know have people with varying beliefs. To live in one of those sign houses is it a requirement to believe the correct things? Has the progressive left abandoned individuality completely? It certainly appears so.
It’s also just incredibly elitist & judgmental to post those signs. Who needs to assert that they believe in science? The implication is that everyone who disagrees with them is anti-science. But in reality, every branch of science has lots of different theories & views 😂
To be fair, they are basically empty platitudes that almost no one would oppose. The language is clearly coded to be interpreted in a certain way for liberals, but anyone reading the individual claims would probably agree with them, even if they would completely disagree with the actual residents.
I feel like youre reaching here. 'Abandoning individuality??' Grandiose language serves the voices in your head, but makes finding common ground difficult. 'Have NYT readers abandoned civility?' Cmon.
You people need to sit down and talk to some mega people you would find out you got a lot in common you're just so arrogant and inside your bubble you will not listen to reason they believe the same thing you believe
I couldn’t agree more with this. Even at the Times, what constitutes the necessary self reflection in the face of loss still relies on its core tenets as axes. If you cannot imagine the mind of another, you cannot understand yourself in the broader context of humanity.
I live in rural OH. Trump country, surrounded by Republicans of all types. They're not having nuanced conversations about politics. When they talk about problems, they blame the poor (or immigrants), bitch about "woke", and talk about Trans folks in bathrooms and sports. You know, brainwashed by RW propaganda. We all felt and are still feeling the pain from prices and the overall cost of living rising post pandemic, but they don't realize it was corporations raising prices and posting record profits. They just blame Biden (despite the IRA creating jobs and helping America more than its peers around the world). You are right, I have A LOT in common with my MAGA friends and family. I just don't swallow RW nonsense as the reasons for my problems.
The introduction is a very good summary of why I abandoned the Democratic Party; however, having said that, this past cycle I voted straight Democratic ticket because I absolutely loath Trump and the clown car that the Republican Party has become. But I have to tell you that I will take deep pleasure in voting Conservative in Canada‘s election next year to see the backside of Trudeau. This is not as paradoxical as it would seem. Trudeau and his progressive policies have been a disaster for Canada. I cannot emphasize that strongly enough.
The issue is that the CPC isn't going to do any good for Canada at all, especially under Pierre. All he's run on is wedge identity issues and he's as crooked and paid for as any other politician. And Trudeau's Liberals hardly legislated real progressive policies, the LPC have always been left of center and that's it. Sure, more left of center than the Democrats on a lot of things, but that's not saying much. Many of the actual progressive ideas that got Trudeau elected are popular across the spectrum, like cannabis legalization, but many were abandoned once he was elected, like electoral reform. People rightfully want a change but Pierre and the CPC are just not it. They're too Trumpian and identity driven. We need another Jack Layton or something. We need a new NDP leader that can galvanize the working class to want actual leadership. I know they won't, but I wish the parties up north would learn something from the way the Democrats have acted and are responding to this election. Trudeau should announce he's not running for reelection on like January 1st and they should try and find a suitable replacement to socialize to the public if they want a CHANCE at a minority government come October. The NDP honestly should too, but I think they need a genuine message and policy shift to get people excited about them again. Unfortunately, Singh's brand isn't strong enough to win enough votes, I think. It's a shame, I'm sure at least some of it is due to implicit bias and racism, but he's also been unable to shake the image of a young idealist, imo. But somehow also seeming just as out of touch as Trudeau I guess at least in part due to the NDP's support of the Liberals in parliament. Canada needs policy shifts, but a lot of the day-to-day harm people are feeling is also being caused by the vast number of Conservative premieres currently in power who have worked to undermine federal efforts to improve or fund things like healthcare and infrastructure spending. If the CPC gets in federally, they'll run the same playbook of dismantling social safety nets and blaming immigrants, the Liberals, and probably trans people (that seems to not have worked as well up north as in the US, at least in some cases, like NB's recent provincial election). If actual progressive policy was enacted regarding healthcare, housing, labour, elections, etc., I think Canadians would be way better off and it would force the Cons to move left on some issues like they had to in the past. But Trudeau's LPC are just Conservative Lite with slightly better social stances, at least on paper. The CPC has swung cynically to the right to ride the wave of angry populism coming from the south, but we need positive populism or something new entirely to see actual people surviving and thriving in the true North, strong and Free. Identity politics are just politics. Those who hate "woke" stuff have made that part of their own identity and they feel like their identities are under threat or being cast aside and derided. But cynical conservative politicians are using that to steer those people into issues and causes that are against their own interests. Most people in Canada (and the US) would benefit from progressive policies and practices. Even with immigration - it's not a progressive or left stance to allow the abuse of TFWs by corporations to keep wages down while they continue to raise prices and brag about it. Having a focus on the well-being of the people you're supposed to be governing is a benefit to everyone, except those that seek to and benefit from the exploitation of the working class. We all want the same things and we're constantly pointed at the wrong causes and obstacles, encouraged to fight instead of unite. But the answer isn't to just point the other direction when one side has used up our good graces. That's been Canadian politics for decades at least and it's worked well enough to maintain a status quo, but we need more than that now and there's too many in power trying to take advantage of the predictable back and forth, allowing malicious and detrimental people into positions of leadership to more directly serve their monied interests. We're stuck with shitty status quo vs not status quo no matter how just as shit or shittier it is. We deserve better, we need better. North and South of 49th parallel.
Don't allow revisionism of the covid pandemic. One of the main factors in lockdowns was the amount of infections, the countries that were hit the hardest locked down after the wave to save their healthcare systems, it was a response to circumstances. After the wave, meaning the likes of the UK had covid in December and locked down in March. Sweden, that didn't lockdown, had several times more deaths from covid than their neighbours who locked down, although they still had proportionally far less than the UK, Spain, France, Italy, or the US. Sweden also had almost all the negative effects associated with lockdowns that their neighbours had because it was behaviour driving it, not lockdowns. Any dense population centre is going to lockdown in a pandemic.
I think there was a case for lockdowns in early 2020, but by late 2020 it was clear most deaths were among people past the average life expectancy, and a lot of deaths were caused by interventions (e.g. intubation) rather than the infection itself, which is understandable as doctors were figuring out how to treat a novel virus they didnt have experience with. Even so, given the available evidence, it didn't make sense to keep schools closed, and that was documented in the Great Barrington Declaration. By fall 2021, when the vaccines were available to all, it definitely didn't make sense to keep schools closed. There was a cost-benefit analysis that needed to be had publicly, but instead you had Anthony Fauci saying "if you disagree with me you disagree with Science", which really soured a lot of people, especially when he had initially said at the start that masks would be ineffective and then later admitted he said that to prevent a run on PPE supplies. For me, once I understood authorities were willing to lie for the "greater good", I lost faith they were ever telling the whole truth.
Ezra Klein is so smart that’s he’s dumb. If I had time I’d put one of his needlessly drawn out quotes here and show how it’s internally incoherent (though he pains to make every idea perfect) and easily countered. Somehow he still falls back to right vs left, so he needs to ends every thought with padding to reaffirm that he is on the left. It’s group-think. We all have right and left thoughts and actions. Anyone who thinks they are on one side can’t see straight and isn’t living in reality. Anyone who says they agree with THE right and THE left on different issues can’t see that those are both mirages. And I’ll never get on the Ezra Klein show because I don’t spend my life pushing paper and I don’t want to be famous, so I’m disqualified.
yes it does take too long now to get stuff done .. but not all of that lag is the federal gov't fault .. in WW2 we built 151 aircraft carriers and 2710 liberty ships in just 4 years .. and that doesn't count the thousands of planes tanks trucks jeeps and other weapons ... where there is the will they find a way ..
Your intro reminds me why I am an independent and not a democrat. RFK is my least upsetting pick, for the reasons you cite. I'm very concerned about health, disease, environmental, food supply etc. things he was good on before the brain worms. Vaccine stuff is nuts and he's not at all qualified, but breaking some of our broke food and health systems would be good actually. The left went cultishly insane during COVID. Just embarrassing really.
Betting on a guy to do some good that’s proven to be completely irrational and in my opinion narcissistic believing he’s the one to fix things he doesn’t understand is a problem. Pseudoscience pushers should not be in charge of policy even if he’s right 2 out of 10 times on something

@@direwolf6234I’m a Dem, but in this particular election I’ll give you the top 4 reasons Dems lost: (1) inflation; (2) illegal immigration/ open border; (3) unpopular social policies; & (4) undemocratic actions, eg, denying voters a primary & just replacing a candidate; lawfare to bankrupt & jail opponents for charges nobody else has ever faced; suing to keep RFK & Stein off ballots; suing to let illegal migrants vote (to prevent VA from purging them from voter rolls); using media as a tool for propaganda, etc.
@@direwolf6234I do it: things were perceived as better under Trump than Biden; Harris was a uniquely uninspiring candidate; moderate backlash against a democrat party that has pulled too far to the left - especially around wokism. Add on that Trump is uniquely charismatic and appealing to those who feel government doesn’t work for them.
