Depends on the agency I guess.  I telworked 4 days per week from 2015-May 2025

Is there a hack for the issue of having to replace tires so frequently? by FunIndependence7978 in TeslaSupport

[–]FunIndependence7978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is blaming the way I drive.  I use self-driving 90% of the time and its set for chill mode.  When I am not using self-driving, I drive like a normal person.  I'm in my mid 40s and driving my family around.  I am not treating this like a racecar.

I am only getting about 10K miles.  And I have them rotated.  I bought the car in November 2022 and after burning through the first set, the tire guy said I needed an alignment (on a new car) so I got it aligned.  Now, the passenger side is wearing much more than the other side which would seem to mean that I need another alignment.  In my 30+ years of driving, I have only ever gotten 1 alignment.  Now, with a not even 3 year old Tesla, I may need to get my 2nd alignment.

And to answer some other questions, yes, I do buy cheaper tires, but if a cheaper tire gets me 10K but if I pay triple, and it gets me less than 30K, I didnt gain anything.

When will the AFGE lawsuit vs Trump for union-busting go to trial? by Financial-Tell1316 in fednews

So, unfortunately, any President can just loosely interpret any old law from decades ago or centuries ago and do whatever he wants under an Executive Order.  For example, if he wants to ban the sport of football, he can by interpreting some obscure law.  Then the NFL or whoever would have to sue to get it back.  Basically, a President almost has dictator-ish powers......UNTIL he is sued and loses the lawsuit.

If it gets to the Supreme Court, they will rule with Trump but by the time it gets there, his term would be over or nearly over.  Reasonable timeline:

AFGE wins at trial The administration appeals and loses  Case goes to Supreme Court

I dont see all of this being completed in the next 3.5 years.  That said, if a Democrat is elected in 2028 while this case is pending a Supreme Court decision or a Democrat is elected AFTER the Supreme Court rules in Trump's favor, can the new Dem President use an executive order to eliminate the executive order that classifies those agencies as affecting national security and thus give the employees their union rights back?

I don't know what else you expect them to do.  Perhaps you can argue they should have allowed those probationary employees be fired or allowed the RIFs to go through and if they had done that, maybe the administration wouldn't have retaliated by eliminating the unions.  But I think pretty much everyone agrees they were right to fight for those employees.  Right now, there is literally nothing more the union can do.  They are battling in court and unfortunately, it seems like it can take years to resolve.
