It is nothing new for customers either. They also charge to split a bill in to quarterly payments (instead of paying ahead of time!), every little feature is an "upgrade", etc. Last time they tried to explain it to me, I responded literally "cry me a river, you have over $100B in the bank".
Last year Microsoft made $88 billion (that's billion, with a B) in profit on $245B in revenue. That's a 36% profit margin. The idea that they have to put 9000 people out of work in order to improve profitability is absolutely ghoulish. This is not a struggling company, they're swimming in profit.

Spot on by Bill Gates. I knew he thought this but am glad he finally said it publicly. He has put up with such shitty misinformation from Musk over vaccines too.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:
“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."
[applause] 🙏🏼

A big driver behind CEOs pushing return-to-office these days is the belief that other CEOs are doing the same and that people are falling in line. Neither are true.
There are better ways.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Again, if you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.
Heard Ron Johnson - extremely Trumpy senator - on NPR this morning and even he couldn't defend the tariffs. The most generous thing he could bring himself to say was "I have concerns" and "we'll see what happens." You can bet that privately Republicans are freaking out.
