In China, they've been so upended by automation that they're paying former factory workers to dig ditches and do other menial labor while tractors and bucket loaders sit idle.

WFH as a broad based way forward for the American workforce is a myth. It'll be like 10 people, tops with the rest of the jobs put in the wood chipper.
nah all those tech freaks overpaying to live in SF will move out to palatial cabins in the mountains where there are humble-brag swank ski resorts so they still have access tony takeout but be back at one with nature

I don’t know how anybody who has lived in both rural and urban America believes that the tech crowd could do anything other than vacation 50 miles from an urban center. You might see 30,000 flee, out of millions. Enough to justify some Bloomberg and New York Times articles. But the rest would quickly become bored to death.

Nobody would have guessed that emperor palpatine would look less and less realistically old while also being played by the same man for 40 years. But it happened. Sometimes chaos is truth.

Yep. But he won't get anywhere. Conservatives love term limits, as do Democrats. Only his less-informed base would rally around the idea, while moderates and leftists alike would battle his effort.
Also -- deja vu. Didn't we already talk about this?

Yes, and Ruddo even made the comment that Obama could run again if term limits were done away with.

Can't wait to see the memes PHATJ makes about you. Have you ever come within 5 feet of a woman who's under the age of 35? He'll be calling you a pedophile before the week is over.

Well it's a good thing conservatives have held their moral ground on important issues since Trump came into office.
