Ok, so I think the Democrat leaders are being spineless cowards as usual, but if I were trying to think of the strategy they are attempting here, I would say they are worried that Trump will blame the recession he is causing on the government shutdown and they don't have confidence in their counter-messaging.
He hates it because Biden is supposed to be the worst president in the history of ever and Biden signed the CHIPS act so therefore it must be bad because Biden is bad. It's not more complicated than that.
I mean when the recession hits he's just going to blame Biden anyway. It doesn't matter what he says now or how many experts say that the tariffs are the cause, line go down? Biden's fault. Things get more expensive? Biden's fault. Unemployment goes up? Believe it or not, Biden's fault.
He stood on stage with gobs of horse shit flying from his mouth at record pace and media outlets are like "based on the smell of this shit, we think this is where it came from".
The user workflow aggressively tries to prevent users from multitasking, despite many jobs requiring this.
Product design is a shining example of the greater Microsoft philosophy of forcing customers to adapt their business to Microsoft's technology instead of having technology flexible enough to adapt to a customer's business needs.
From an admin standpoint it has numerous questionable design decisions surrounding UC. For example, you can register non-Teams SIP phones to it, but you can't see the IP addresses of these registered devices(?!). In general, from a telephony standpoint, Teams is good at providing dial tone and some very basic telephony features, enough to make senior leadership think that it does everything, but if you need UC functionality for more than users who sit at a desk all day it falls apart quickly.
My conversations with representatives from the product team at Microsoft suggests they are out of touch with how businesses use telephones.
They would rather sit there and do nothing in the belief that voters will be scared into giving them money if only things get bad enough. The corrupt Democrat leadership and their parasitic consultants are just as villainous as the GOP. Completely out of touch and so afraid of challenges from progressives that they are willing to let the nation fall into autocracy.
Single payer was killed by Lieberman, Hillary Clinton actually pushed for it. When it became clear they didn't have the votes in the Senate they tacked to an idea implemented by Romney after some Republicans hinted they would support it - none did.
I just bought my house there! I even love the weather this time of year. There is no time when Washington isn't gorgeous and the people here are very accepting (in most places in the western part of the state) I'm gay, not trans, but even in my conversations with my new coworkers they went out of their way to be sensitive about gender identity.
This isn't so bad. I normally am more than happy to let someone else take the lead but if nobody else is going to do something I may as well take charge.
The trick is to fake confidence then everyone thinks you know what you're doing.
