@armano @RobertMSterling Sadly, sympathy is in the eye of the beholder. If you've been laid off (I have been) you can feel for a person no matter their income. If you've never been laid off. . . maybe not.

@RobertMSterling I was laid off in 2020 during the height of the pandemic in June, right around the time when our cities began to burn. It was terrible. I don’t wish that on anyone and it altered my career. I was 49 there’s little sympathy for private sector layoffs like what you see here

I feel terrible for anyone who loses their job. I’m not trying to kick anyone while they’re down. But these USAID and NGO workers are the least sympathetic unemployed people I’ve ever seen. EVERY person in this story was making well into six figures: USAID employee: $175,000 USAID contractor: $127,000 USAID-funded NGO employee: $272,000(!) USAID advisor at the DOD: $195,000 USAID contractor: $200,000 There were 16,000 employees at USAID, and the New York Times was only able to interview one making less than $175k. Worldwide, there were an estimated 280,000 contractors. ALL of these people were getting paid from our tax dollars. Many were making 2-4x the wage of the average American taxpayer ($65-70k per year). Yes, USAID did some good work, especially during the Cold War. And, yes, many of the agency’s employees were hard-working Americans, with good intentions and love for their country. Again, we should take no joy in seeing thousands of people lose their livelihoods—this is not a case of justifiable schadenfreude. But it’s not sustainable for an agency with so little accountability to manage tens of billions of dollars per year, enriching tens of thousands of NGO-industrial-complex managers living in the DC/Maryland/Virginia metroplex in the process. Even the NYT acknowledges that “there was bloat and waste in the agency and a need for reform. Much of the $35 billion [USAID] managed in 2024 went to Washington-based contractors, not directly to people in need overseas. The success of many projects was hard to measure.” Every last dollar that went to these highly paid employees was funded by an American taxpayer, the vast majority of whom make far less money than the people laid off from USAID. We have the right to demand accountability, and we have the right to expect that these funds will be spent in our interest, not theirs. USAID and its thousands of employees, contractors, and NGO beneficiaries ignored that principle, and they eventually paid the price with their careers. I wish them all nothing but the best, but I won’t mourn that they will no longer be making $200k per year on the backs of American workers.

@dmscott That's true for many but not all creatives, authors who have their own method and preferred style. If we are talking about editing and mundane work then there's a place, but some authors are set in their ways and their way has been very successful for them

Writers who cling to nostalgia for the way they’ve always done things, whether that’s a manual typewriter or a reluctance to adapt AI into their workflow, risk falling behind. bit.ly/4skAU0k

@mattvanswol @pauladrum Well. I don’t see firearm sales going down anytime soon. And I seriously need to consider carrying more vs. keeping mine in a secure box in my bedroom

🚨#BREAKING: The woman who was randomly shot in the face 6 times and st*bbed to de*th while she was walking her dog in Atlanta GA has been identified as 40-year-old Lauren Bullis. The suspect, “Olaolukitan Adon Abel” was also allegedly in the process of se*ually assaulting her before neighbors came to the scene. Olaolukitan is charged with 3 other "completely random" shootings and the de*th of another woman. We do not have to live like this.

@Hyken Or follow the Nordstrom policy and provide the refund with no pushback. Usually the customer spends on the way out the door and tells 3 friends of their positive experience.

If you are in a refund situation, try to apply it to future business. This may get the customer back in the door and give you the opportunity to do it right the next time.
