California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Monday that he is ordering all state employees to return to the office four days a week, starting July 1.

This is some bullshit and should signal to dem voters that dems don’t have your backs. Dems are centrists, not Leftists. They server corporate power rather than workers. Push the party Left.

    Yeah, Newsom has some bad takes, and he’s never been a progressive. Never expect him to vote against the corporate headwind - he won’t. However, it’s important to note they are allowing exceptions on a case by case basis, and it’s not a full work week, so clearly he’s trying to allow some room for compromise.

    The other interesting part of the article not reflected in the headline is that:

    The governor is also directing CalHR to make it easier for former federal employees in certain areas to fill state service vacancies.

    I think this is an excellent idea, and I’d love to see my state do all it can to provide employment to Feds displaced by Trump’s bullshit.

      Because a commercial real estate crash would be bad. And the American people would foot the bill for the obvious government bailout that would follow.

      Just to be clear I’m not defending RTO mandates that are clearly used to prop up commercial real estate and allow greater micromanagement of employees. I am only pointing out the why.

    Fucking insane - I hope we can find a way to switch to Ranked Choice Voting and overturn Citizens United.
