Ha, my company sent out an all hands message regarding Trump pausing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act saying that even in the absence of legal requirements, ethics and integrity have strong business benefits. Our practices around bribery and corruption are not changing lol.

Shouldn't be long, we have a pretty active DEI program. Doing all kinds of shadiness like hiring rural remote workers to get different perspectives in the company, disgusting.

Also, Trump doesn't know what VAT is, as he wrote on Truth Social.

"For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted"

Seems entirely appropriate that DOGE has meme level security.

I once made fun of George W. Bush saying: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
I once made fun of George Lucas making the prequel trilogies.
I was once a fool...

So Trump signed a new executive order that funding will be cut for all schools that mandate the COVID vaccine. Sounds terrible, right? It's outrageous!

Until you find out that no school mandates the COVID vaccine and it's all just hot air. https://www.immunize.org/official-guidance/state-policies/vaccine-requirements/covid-child-school-2024/
