  2. #Murphy points out the bleading obvious - not that I am criticising it, it needs to be repeated often for the hard of thinking. Death and destruction are NOT a sensible path to take to produce ‘growth’, in the short, medium or long terms.

    #Growth means many things, from the blinkered `#GDP’ to money in the pockets of the already wealthy. It frequently doies not translate to better lives for peopl eor a better country to live in.

  3. As House Democrats walked out of a closed-door briefing on Tuesday evening
    over the United States’s military campaign against #Iran,
    many expressed exasperation with the Trump administration
    and said the president and his team ⚠️had not offered a sufficient justification for the attack on foreign soil.

    ♦️“I just want to say I am more fearful than ever after this briefing
    that we may be putting boots on the ground
    and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have,”
    said Sen. Richard #Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
    after leaving the meeting
    held by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Joint Chiefs chair Dan Caine.

    Blumenthal added, “I think the administration owes it to the American people
    to have briefings not just for members of Congress,
    but for the American public.”

    ♦️In a social media video posted by Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.), the senator directly addressed those watching and said,
    “It is so much worse than you thought.”
    Warren added,
    “You are right to be worried.
    The Trump administration has no plan in Iran.
    This illegal war is based on lies,
    and it was launched without any imminent threat to our nation.
    Donald Trump still hasn’t given a single clear reason for this war,
    and he seems to have no plan for how to end it either.”

    ♦️The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on Saturday
    in what Donald Trump has described as “massive and ongoing.”
    Iran’s longtime supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
    was killed by U.S. and Israeli strikes,
    as were several top figures in Khamenei’s regime.
    Multiple U.S. service members have also died.

    Trump has since offered a series of contradictory statements to the media
    about his administration’s plan moving forward.
    The president and the administration said
    they needed to counteract the threat Iran posed to the United States,
    even though Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon
    and the administration acknowledged it had
    no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces.

    ♦️During a Pentagon press conference,
    #Hegseth said that the U.S. does not currently have troops in Iran,
    but didn’t rule out the possibility of boots on the ground.
    Hegseth also claimed that
    “this is not a regime change war,”
    despite the targeted attacks on the regime’s high command,
    and later added:
    “The regime did change.”

    ♦️On Tuesday, Sen. Chris #Murphy (D-Conn) shared his reaction with reporters
    following the briefing, and said,
    “I’m more convinced now that this is going to be open ended and forever.”

    “This feels like a multi-trillion-dollar open-ended conflict
    with a very confusing and constantly shifting set of goals,” said Murphy.
    “They clearly seem fine with hard-line elements being in control of the country,
    because they plan to permanently run air operations
    in order to chase [Iran’s] missile-making capability, drone-making capability and nuclear capabilities.”

  4. #Murphy: A UAE investor secretly gave #Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. #Brazen , open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal

  5. @aparrish Depends: do you want it to work from the first attempt and regret not making a full prototype PCB, or do you want it to be full of small mistakes and regret not making individual breakouts? #Murphy

    "Murphy was an optimist"

    I'm glad for you that you'll get home without more delay than that!

  8. Some of the Trump administration’s anti-worker moves included

    ♦️rescinding a Biden-era executive order that raised the minimum wage for federal workers,

    ♦️rolling back laws prohibiting workplace discrimination,

    ♦️pulling out of an international agreement that would have imposed a minimum tax on corporations,

    ♦️and killing dozens of workplace safety rules.

    Trump’s most vicious moves targeted immigrant workers,
    many of whom have been terrorized by the unrelenting barrage of ICE raids throughout their communities and workplaces

    Things may become even more dire in 2026, as many Trump appointees are poised to wield power.

    💥#Wayne #Palmer, a coal industry executive, will serve as the assistant secretary of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

    💥#David #Keeling will head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

    💥Keeling previously oversaw health and safety protocols at Amazon and UPS,
    and the companies collectively racked up over 300 workplace safety citations and $2 million in OSHA fines while he was in charge.

    💥#Andrew #Rogers, a former attorney at the anti-union law firm Littler Mendelson, will serve as the next administrator of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division.

    🔥Additionally, Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may soon begin deciding cases.

    💥Upon arriving in the White House, Trump illegally fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, depriving the agency of the necessary quorum of at least three members.

    💥The board also paused all active investigations, including two dozen inquiries into companies owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk.

    💥In July, Trump finally selected two new members:
    #James #Murphy, who has spent many years as counsel to Republican NLRB members,
    💥and #Scott #Mayer, who currently serves as the chief labor counsel for Boeing and formerly worked for the anti-union law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

    💥In February, NLRB Acting General Counsel #William #Cowen rescinded more than two dozen Biden-era General Counsel memos addressing issues such as the electronic monitoring of workers and the employment status of college athletes.

    🔥If its quorum is reestablished, the board is expected to take these efforts a step further and overturn Biden-era rulings.
    💥These include the ban on “captive audience” meetings, in which employers effectively force workers to sit through anti-union propaganda
    💥and the 2023 Cemex case decision, which determined that, if a majority of workers sign union affiliation cards, employers have to either recognize the union or hold an election within two weeks.

    ❌“There is a very strong likelihood that the #NLRB will achieve quorum in the new year and begin a more aggressive attack on workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain,”
    Margaret Poydock, a senior policy analyst at EPI, told Truthout.

    🆘“President Trump is the largest union buster in U.S. history, and his interference with the independence of the NLRB will result in the further weakening of our nation’s labor laws.”

  9. Seconda legge di #Murphy sui lavori che ti stanno sui coglioni:
    Più cerchi di disfartene, più clienti verranno a chiedertelo.

    Corollario alla seconda legge di Murphy sui lavori che ti stanno sui coglioni:
    I nuovi clienti saranno sempre peggiori di quelli precedenti.

  11. Ich steh in der Tür, sag wie immer: „Murphy, kommst du bitte auch?“ Doch da kommt nichts. Kein tapsen, kein Schwanzwedeln. Nur Stille. Mein Herz reißt. Er war mein Freund, mein Leben. Jetzt ist er fort. Für immer. Und ich steh allein. #Trauer #Murphy #EinfacheSprachlos

  12. st schon mal jemand von euch schweißgebadet aufgewacht?
    Neben dem Platz, wo eigentlich das Hundebett steht?

    Ich habe Murphy verloren. Er ist tot.
    Ich weiß das.
    Aber mein Kopf hat es wohl noch nicht verstanden.

    Es tut einfach nur weh.

  13. In this article by Richard #Murphy about the failure of #Musk.

    #Government systems are not set up for the purpose of keeping bosses happy, as is the case with too much private sector enterprise. Instead, they actually try to meet need.

    A goal almost beyond the comprehension of business leaders most critical of government. They genuinely believe that the world shares their belief that the perpetuation of growth of their wealth is the only worthy objective of humankind.
