#disastrous

So with my recent #disastrous experience with #Uber #Eats, it looks like I have to file a #chargeback with my credit card company to get my refund. If you missed the previous episode of Support Disasters: purchase through website, but refunds only through the app, which I can't use, because I don't have a cell phone.

I thought you used to be able to dispute a merchant charge on the phone, but I don't seem to have that option today. I have to submit a dispute by postal mail - or by fax 🤣 .

I'm guessing the procedure for "submit a dispute by fax" goes like this:

1. Time-travel back to 1994 when fax was relevant.
2. Submit form by fax.

Fun.

'For the first time in the program’s 60-year history. '

That sentence is a good summary of how disastrous the government of Trump is.

Imagine a program (SNAP) that has already been providing food for the poor for 60(!) years and that has NEVER missed a payment.

Now, under Trump, the poor will go hungry more than before. And realize that among the recipients 70% have a job,

This is a satirical political cartoon or drawing that visually represents a critique of wealth inequality and the nature of poverty.

The main subject is a grotesque, exaggerated depiction of a **rich, powerful man** (suggested by his pinstripe suit, broad shoulders, and imposing size).

He is shown eating a massive quantity of paper money (US dollar bills). His mouth is wide open, overflowing with bills, and he is using a small fork to shovel more money into his mouth.

The man has an angry or intense expression, with bulging eyes and a flushed, unhealthy complexion (suggested by the red/pink tones in the skin).

He is holding a plate piled high with more money, emphasizing his insatiable consumption.

On the rim of the plate, in the lower right, there is a tiny figure of a worker or poor man wearing a hat, holding a bowl, and looking up at the large man. This small figure emphasizes the disparity in size and power.

To the right of the central figure, a quote is displayed in large, bold, black text:

"Poverty exists not because we can't feed the poor,
but because we can't satisfy the rich."

The drawing is a clear visual metaphor, suggesting that:
1.  The rich have an insatiable appetite for wealth ("eating" money).
2.  Their excessive accumulation and consumption of resources is the **direct cause** of poverty, rather than a lack of resources overall.

I read a chunk of this exhaustive article from March of this year replete w/ links, detailing the multitude of ways Cuomo's reputation as governor disqualifies him to run for Mayor. The screen grab hints at the fine brushwork of this blogger.
DONT RANK CUOMO, New Yorkers! He's backed by Theil, always been a conservative in liberal clothes, he'd be worse than Bloomberg or Eric Adams (both GOP dressed as Democrat).

A screen grab of a section of an article about Cuomo's reputation when governor surrounding New York City's public transit. It's a bulleted list in date order describing different ways he diverted funds, misappropriated them, stole them after being allocated, etc. All the text is also in the article, which is linked in this post.

I am hoping yesterday's #disastrous upstream release of #bluez was an #aprilfools #joke because it's about the only explanation for shipping something that #broken! I somehow doubt it as it's a regular occurrence.... there's a thing called CI peeps! Oh well, I got a fix out quickly and the #fedora testers picked it up too before it went anywhere close to a #stable release!

#WallStreet #banks are getting ready to unload a big chunk of debt holdings in #X, #ElonMusk #socialmedia platform. They hope to get 90 to 95 cents on the dollar, people familiar with the matter said. The banks in 2022 lent around $13 billion to help finance Musk’s $44 billion purchase of what was then called #Twitter —a deal currently considered #disastrous. Banks usually sell buyout debt within months of a deal, except during volatile periods. #billionaires #maga #propaganda #fascism

"JD #Vance Blames Staff for #Disastrous Doughnut-Shop Visit"

Couldn't be because this guy is a total #jackwagon, could it?

NAH.

Must be "The Staff"

"Now someone just needs to explain to him that people typically don’t like it when leaders blame their mistakes on underlings. And it’s a particularly dumb move when those staffers are all that stand between you and another embarrassing viral video."

Now there's some Real #Republican Leadership qualities, that one.
