I was a government contractor for four years. I made really good money, worked from home, and had really good benefits. A year ago, Elon and Trump decided to stop paying the contract I was on. Between outsourcing and AI, I couldn’t find anyone to hire me. I had to work in a grocery store for six months with ten years of web development and project management experience. I start my job as a mailman on Monday. I’ll never forgive them and forsake anyone associated with them. Until the seas dry and the land breaks, I wish suffering and damnation upon them.

I had to work in a grocery store for six months with ten years of web development and project management experience That sucks, but long term that would have been an inevitable outcome anyway. Web development experience is becoming a useless skill on the job market, as you have learned from first hand experience finding a job

it’s infuriating seeing the two assholes cutting everything for literal pennies, then wasting trillions on a useless war that has only economic downsides, just because bibi asked it nicely

I was a woman in the military. I can’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore, haven’t left the house for a week. I wish them a jail cell.
