Why does it seem like Trump and his cronies treat federal workers as second-class workers? I'll never understand this administration's need to hate something they either don't understand or agree with.

hmmmm, I'd like to hear from all those people saying we give foreign aid. Are you OK with this? Explain, with verifiable facts, your position.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has invoked “emergency authorities” to bypass Congress and send $4 billion in weapons to Israel, the second time in a month that the Trump administration has skirted the process of congressional approval for sending arms to the country.

We need to normalize gaming companies providing demos or giving 2-3 hours of gametime as a baseline, not an attached premium feature.
I'm tired of these companies saying, "Trust me, bruh" and hit us with hype marketing & YouTube creators making a fluff videos. Gaming is expensive already.

Dear #Playstation, rather than 3 crummy games each month we get to keep, how about some Day 1s, some demos, animes from Crunchyroll, and a select few movies from Sony Pictures. If people want more like PS classics, & more anime & movie selection they can then upgrade

I don't normally root for failure, but this is one trend I'm glad to see being toned down. GaaS suck & often have predatory MTX that come along with them. Get F'd and bring back solid single player, coop games that respect people's time and money.
