          Its called temp-perm housing. You are temporarily there till you are permanently dealt with.

          I’m waiting for the GOP to rename the concentration camps “low income housing”. They’ll then claim that this is what Americans want because of all the calls to create actual low income housing.

      Don’t worry, they’ll cut everyone at the DOL as well so you won’t see this in the jobless numbers.

    Putin told his puppets to purge everything and cripple America. Drain every agency of experienced public service members, then either sell off the institutions or backfill with incompetent albeit loyal nazi party members.

    Dear Americans, this is why you all need unions and you all need employment contracts. Day-to-day employment is a terrible idea, and many people around the world actually have … could it be … real job security, guaranteed in writing.

      That’s the primary problem with a lot of these threats, the jobs do have guarantees and the firings are illegal.

      But good luck with that in Trump appointed courts:

      Neat. Protests in a totalitarian state are meaningless.

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
