In another test that included former Wyoming U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican and Trump critic, as a third-party No Labels option, Trump's lead went to 12 percentage points. Trump got 41%, Biden received 29%, Cheney followed with 8% and Stein 6%. Other candidates got 4%, and 12% were undecided.

In a hypothetical race between Whitmer, the state's Democratic governor, and Trump, Whitmer held a 4-point lead at 49%-45%. In that situation, 1% of the participants said they would vote for someone else, and 5% said they were undecided.

President Biden will not run for re-election during a tumultuous year that will see parts of the country suffer rolling blackouts, the release of an inhaled COVID vaccine and a boycott over driverless cars, a top JPMorgan Chase strategist predicted.

Michael Cembalest, who heads the market and investment strategy unit in the Wall Street bank’s asset management division, made the shocking forecasts in his list of ‘Ten Surprises’ for 2024 over the weekend.

Tops among the budding Nostradamus’ prophesies was that 81-year-old Biden will drop out of the race “sometime between Super Tuesday and the November election, citing health concerns.”

sure. but most of those are probably content moderators, i'd presume

but i think twitch has given up. more profit $$$$ if its a FFA and don't need to pay mods if it means more consumers are paying for whatever iffy content

my guess is Twitch as a corporate advertising network never really took off: no one wanted to advertise on twitch. this mattered because advertisers care about "content" and "branding", but if there arent any paying advertisers, then its reliant on the paypigs paying for content -- who very much do not care about any of that. thus no reason to have content mods, and no reasons to have advertising client contract managers on payroll either

you basically just need a few people to make sure the paypig payment processing never stops working for people to spend $20 for some nude streamer in a hot tub to speak their name + a few people to make sure videos aren't using too much bandwidth, and you're off to the races.

Hasbro laid off people from the only division that makes them money recently - the art directors etc from wizards of the coast.

MBAs are the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. Short term gains for short term failure.
