Dan Rather, he fell for the banana peel. If I recall correctly he sounded off about the "Dancing Jews" after 9/11 on maybe the David Letterman show and then banana peel off the air you go cowboy.
The scary part is not a single liberal had their mind changed, because a liberal mind can't be changed.
Oh make no mistake Rather is and always has been a room temp IQ moron, maybe on par with AOC, but they had folks back then who produced shows that seemed at least believable on their face to most Americans who watched (I never believed he was a straight broker etc).

Hey Dems...
I remember when Ole Joey told all the unemployed coal miners to "learn to code".
The legacy media can do hit pieces and complain all they want, but President Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do.
The swamp complaining about their current circumstances and difficulties falls on deaf ears after 60+ years of unaccountability, disregard for the public good, and constant waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.
Time to pay the piper.

There is a lesson here. Stop stealing our money.
Classic MSM move. Anytime a Republican administration cuts anything, cue the sad stories.
The only encouraging thing from this is that it's clear the left have not learned from this election and what's happening in the culture. I feared they may learn and adapt (at least to our faces) and be more appealable to the middle class. But clearly they're doubling down and haven't learned a thing.Ag87H2O said:

And even with 8 months pay, you don’t see how folks are still uncertain about surviving? What if they don’t find work after 8 months? What if they have to relocate, switch their kids schools or even take them out of private school.

Oh no! Think of the children! And private school!
PLEASE tell me this is satire!
Should have taken the September buyout before the deadline.
I agree, they knew it was coming and yet they decide to roll the dice.
Like the rest of us - if your industry is shrinking, find another industry. When offered a chance for buy-out, take it.

How many stories did they do covering job losses from Biden stopping the pipeline?
Not only the pipeline but COVID
I was laid off when COVID hit and no one did a news story about me and how I was going to support my family of four.
It sucks. I don't ever want anyone to lose their job due to a cutback or layoff. But it's often times necessary due to poor decisions. This is no different than a company's former CEO making bad decisions and the new CEO fixing them.
Pick yourself up, polish up the resume, and get the f over it. Same as everyone else who gets laid off from anywhere.
Also, cry me a river, *****. I was laid off from my private sector job in Feb of 2023 and didnt get a 60 mins interview.
I just had to....find a new job. You should try this simple trick!

Same here, but in March of 24. I spammed applications, took the first job that came through as a stepping stone, and then found a job that worked.
Setbacks happen, and those folks can complain all they want imo as long as they're actively looking for a job. Otherwise they're just *****ing.

They really did a good bait and switch with that interview and the line of questioning. Sheeple go baaaaa.
Been laid off twice in my 37 year career. Oh well, get moving.

More CBS propaganda. They should be off the list of media given access to the White House just like the AP.
That is Eric Swalwell doing his drag thing.

Layoffs happen in the private sector all the time. Gov't workers believe they are entitled to a lifetime job.
Exactly. Not to mention, most of these people were offered a 10 month salary as part of their severance.
Happy to hear you popped back in. The job market today is an absolute **** show. I know from experience.Pizza said:BadMoonRisin said:

I've been in their situation a couple of times during my career...reduction in force or downsizing. It does suck and can create a level of anxiety, however, you have to be mature enough to find another door. For me, everything worked out for the better after being let go. I never felt sorry for myself and realized the company had a direction that did not include me. For these two folks in the story, there are only two guarantees in life, so grow up and adapt.
I wonder why people get so messed up when they lose their jobs. Looks like it because they wasted their money when times were good?
Invest, people.
All you do is put your money in an S&P 500 index fund like VOO or SPY and chill. It will grow without you doing anything. Do it NOW. Time is your friend (and your enemy).
Don't be like these people. No one will bail you out. You don't want to live in a stinky apartment at 75.

Yep. They've been doing similar with the agency cuts. Citing the original mission of the agency and boo-hooing and sob storying about how "this aid to Africa children" or "this funding for special ed kids" is getting cut while willfully ignoring the massive fraud and waste blinking red light story which is the reason for DOGE to begin with.ts5641 said:

I had to lay off almost 60 employees last year in 3 different rounds; it was brutal and these were all very hardworking manufacturing operators, engineers, etc. No one wanted to interview any of them to see how hard things were on them...
Every day I drive through the square in our small town and see where there used to be an awesome family owned restaurant. They shut down during covid and just said forget it. They Couldn't do it. "curbside" wasn't working. Being locked down put them in such a hole they had to close.
Every day I see my barber who watched week after week in spring 2020 while governor Abbott made jokes about "we all want to get a haircut but we all need to just wait". Finally had a "haircut party" at my house where he set up on the back porch and friends and family came and did haircuts and tipped generously so he could pay his rent.
These are the the same federal employees who got to stay home in their jammies during covid and posted on their social media how "we're all in this together".
they can go to hell.

Biden is certainly fair game for *****ing about what he did or didn't do, but there were sufficient stories, if you paid attention, to know that stopping the pipeline construction stopped only about 15 full time jobs in the U.S. and around 35 in Canada. The rest of the 10,000 or so jobs that were cut were to be temporary workers on the job 4 to 6 months each as the pipeline made its way through several States to its stopping point.Funky Winkerbean said:

Says who? Says TransCanada Energy, the company that would have owned and operated the pipeline.
I'm guessing you truly don't understand the full economic impact of shutting down that pipeline.Quote:

Or long time loyal employees in the private and public sectors, as well as members of the military, being terminated because they refused to get an experimental "vaccine" that was completely useless, at best.Funky Winkerbean said:

F these sob stories. Deaf ears.

My response wasn't about addressing economic impact, only whether various media had said anything about potential jobs that hadn't happened. Those 10,000 jobs would have resulted in a lot of what became unrealized salary along with ancillary income from support resources (restaurants, motels, etc.) during construction. What would have reduced that impact though is that since those were only ever to be temporary jobs it's no different than any number of potential jobs that didn't pan out so contractors just look for other projects for their workers. Impact? Certainly, but not the huge loss some like to think it caused.CDUB98 said:I'm guessing you truly don't understand the full economic impact of shutting down that pipeline.Quote:
