@raulchiapa @smerconish The accountability comes from the work product. And any managers scrutiny of it.
Remote work can be extremely advantageous to some businesses. No real estate burden, and the ability to hire the best from any geographic location.

@smerconish Very few Remote working positions require or allow for accountability in production or attendance, resulting in less productivity, laziness and (dare I say) cheating. I would agree that these traits "damage" the person (whether they admit it or not)!

Vote at Smerconish.com: Do you agree with Jamie Dimon that "the young generation is being damaged" by remote work? barrons.com/video/in-leake…

@smerconish No. The issue is not remote work. The same thing happens in IRL meetings. Its a general lack of focus. And the blame can be firmly put on social media.
Now schools are banning phones in school . it will go a long way to fixing this going forward.

@smerconish @stavridisj @CNN @cnni Really shines a light on the topic of what does Putin have on Trump ?
His alignment with Putin and not our European allies makes no sense unless he owns him.

The government spent £200,000 on studying the impact of Star Wars on the environment.
Our taxpayer money is being wasted on a simply enormous scale.
Britain needs its own DOGE! @WokeWaste

@MarioNawfal Good. Now lets spend it wisely on education essentials, like Science, literacy, and trades skills.
All fundamental to a strong future looking economy.

@teslaownersSV Well , if true follow the money and get it back.
Don't jail the people ripping us off. Make them work to pay it back WITH interest.

@josettecaruso @elonmusk At this point given the social alignment. California would probably happily vote to join with Denmark. Honestly most open thinking non MAGA Americans probably would. Just for the reduction is life stress and overall wellbeing.

Thousands of people have signed a petition supporting a "Denmarkification" petition to purchase California from the United States, while also turning Disneyland into "Hans Christian Andersenland."
The petition has garnered more than 200,000 signatures, Fox Los Angeles reported.
"Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles," the petition states.
"Have you ever looked at a map and thought, 'You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates.' Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality," the campaign website reads. "Let's buy California from Donald Trump!"The petition came in response to President Donald Trump's repeated interest in making Greenland, a territory of Denmark, part of the U.S. In January, Trump didn't rule out using military force or economic pressure to make it happen, saying the territory is vital to U.S. national security. Greenland's leader, Múte B. Egede, has rebuffed Trump's interest, saying his people don't want to be Americans. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen slapped down Trump's fixation on Greenland last month.
"On one hand, I am pleased regarding the rise in American interest in Greenland," Frederiksen said in an interview Tuesday with Danish broadcaster TV 2. "But of course, it is important that it takes place in a way where it is the Greenlanders’ decision, what their future holds."
The authors of the petition noted that Trump might be open to letting Denmark have California, given the political divide between California leaders and the White House. "Let's be honest – Trump isn't exactly California's biggest fan. He's called it 'the most ruined state in the Union' and has feuded with its leaders for years," the petition states. "We're pretty sure he'd be willing to part with it for the right price."
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House and the office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom for comment. The petition's crowdfunding goal is $1 trillion — "give or take a few billion."
The petition notes five major incentives for Danes to support the plan: sunshine, California technology sector, avocado toast, protecting the free world and Disneyland, which would be renamed "Hans Christian Andersenland."
"Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes, please," the petition reads. If California were to become another territory of Denmark, the capital could be changed from Sacramento to Solvang, which is known as the "Danish Capital of America." The city was founded by Danish immigrants in 1911 and is home to Danish-style architecture.
It's also home to the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art, which explores the city's Danish heritage.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think there is room for improvement here

Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.
English

@HoLeeKow2 @DOGE There are such things as open document formats to work around the issue you outlined.
But point taken formats HAVE to be readable and maintained for access persistently.
English

@DOGE Paper lasts forever and doesn't require "readers" to read it. Millions of documents are as good as lost because the microfiche readers are worn out and can't be fixed.
Other records are not accessible because the operating systems are obsolete.
