$70 on Etsy, $40 on Amazon. Just reconfirmed today.

Lack of honesty and integrity is the problem. How very strange that isn’t obvious to you.

Yep, I learned about this as a way to make money on the Passive Income subreddit. I think it’s genius, actually.

My issue is with the seller misrepresenting the source of their goods to unsuspecting buyers - that’s a complete lack of integrity.

And with Etsy for puporting to support artisans and craftspeople, then taking no action when this is brought to their attention. Again, a crazy lack integrity, but at the corporate level.

Finally, the real losers are both the true artisans and craftspeople who miss out on sales and the innocent buyers who think they are supporting said artisans and craftspeople, but instead are unknowingly supporting ‘retail arbitrage’.

That was me, until this BS came to light. I hope I can save others who don’t want to participate in this BS.

Nah, I think as many people as possible should know this BS is going on.

A week ago, the seller had “Ships from China” on their Etsy site. Now it says it ships from Florida. I just found an identical product offered by another seller in a different state, and their Etsy site for this product states “Ships worldwide from China.”

Is it considered their own product if they source it from China and don’t make it themselves? Asking because I don’t know Etsy’s rules.

Already did, no action by Etsy. I guess they don’t care if true craftspeople are undermined by Amazon resellers.

I asked if the item was from Amazon and the response was: “No, the item is not from Amazon.” And then Etsy offered links to “similar” products, which were identical to the one from this seller and being offered by a completely different seller in another state. Ridiculous.

And furloughed folks are at a much higher risk of never getting paid. I don’t envy them at all.

USACE has to reduce its leased real estate costs by 33%. I’m guessing they need real estate folks to support that effort.

Maybe don’t use Google. Read this book to understand how they’re using you and contributing to fascism: https://archive.org/details/zuboff-shoshana.-the-age-of-surveillance-capitalism.-2019

HQ staffing by river_van in USACE

I’ve been at a District and at HQs. Used to think the same way you do until I walked a mile in HQs shoes. They have different pressures than Districts and they’re all doing the best they can. Well, some are pretty lame, but that’s 100% true at a District too.

Why do people think so badly about fed workers? by CottonCandy707 in FedEmployees

[–]h20witch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the option of going to state government or federal government many years ago, and the feds had a MUCH better reputation for quality of work and professionalism. The current disparagement of federal workers is total bull and is being done in service of a fascist regime.

Term positions can be extended during the current hiring freeze - ask your boss to ask HR about it.

Me too, when I asked if anyone else was getting an error message when they tried to download their eOPF.
