🇯🇵Japan's post-COVID reality: Paying workers to come to the office.
Bonuses for coming to the office for a certain number of days.
"The only caveats are workers have to work in the office for more than 4 hours a day and can only collect the bonuses for 10 days per month."
Trump promised to rebuild America's infrastructure, but he did nothing.
Trump promised to revive American manufacturing, but he did nothing.
What did Trump actually deliver?
Tax breaks for the wealthy and justices who stripped away reproductive rights.
The choice is clear:
When world leaders gather in Dubai beginning Thursday for COP28, this year’s U.N. climate summit, the heads of the world’s two largest economies will be notably absent.

Some of these stats may surprise you. Some won’t.

SF Supervisor Harvey Milk, who was assassinated OTD in 1978, wasn't just "openly gay," as he is often called. He was specifically building a coalition that included working people, union leaders, the #LGBTQ+ community, people of color, disabled folks, young people, and elders. That's why he was so dangerous to the Establishment. And that coalition never recovered.
@littlemiao @jmb I can hear it now. Any time anyone says "Elon is an antisemite" from here on out, his fans will go "But he was in Israel and the prime minister escorted him around!" It's a little like if you say that Trump's embassy move ceremony was little more than an altar call, Trump's fans go "But Israel didn't have a problem with it!" Disgusting.
Trump claims he intentionally mixes up Obama and Biden because, per modern GOP conspiracy theories, Obama is still running things. First of all, no. Trump mixes them up because his brain is addled. Just like he mixes up World War II and III, and thinks Victor Orban rules Turkiye. I suppose in America in 2023, it’s still easier to blame a Black man for something he’s not remotely responsible for.
What a slime ball on so many levels. But by all means, keep talking #Santos.
Santos Accuses GOP Colleagues of Drunkenness, Adultery, Insider Trading
Santos isn't going quietly.
Santos: "He's going to be undermined all thru-out this election process by very ppl who shd be supporting him...These ppl will undermine him, they will get in his way, they will redirect voters from him to others. Make no mistake, there are a lot of Members in this body in GOP who hate Trump."
Selling pardons for $2M bribes, apparently: never investigated or not enough evidence. #TFG is culpable of innumerable crimes. Delayed justice is justice denied *for Americans.
Braun shouldn't have been pardoned: convicted major drug dealer: <2 years into a 10 year prison term -allegedly running a mafia-like illegal loan shark op, & using threats of violence to make sure people paid up. Braun’s family had told confidants -willing to spend $Ms to get him out of prison-.
