No one is owed a remote job. Unfortunately, if you work for the state, it is highly likely you don't have the skills and leverage to force the issue as most of the positions are just supporting some sort of bureaucracy and fundamentally have to exist because a lobbyist at one point got a law passed. State jobs, like it or not, are often effectively just political appointments.

Also keep in mind that you can't fire or terminate anyone, ever, in the state, so there's also a chance leadership feels this is the first time they can turnover roles that aren't doing much or meeting their goals. That's a very rare opportunity. If you think "rest-and-vest" is bad in tech, you ain't seen anything when it comes to government. Imagine jobs where no one has accomplished anything in a decade or more.

Of course you immediately jump to some sort of conspiracy though.

How many immigrants do you think grew up the same way? Hint: almost none, as the United States is the only country that enshrines true freedom of speech as an unalienable and fundamental right.

This is probably considered "hate-speech" in this day and age, but immigration, shockingly, has cons as well.

Protect them from what? I assume you're presupposing that "free speech is dangerous" here?

If the actor deployed a 0-day through the update, yes, absolutely, but that goes for any app.

It really depends on what the security team was doing. Saying they fired the security team sounds like bad PR, but who knows. Maybe they were just running scanners and couldn't prove value to a VP.

See an audiologist and ask what they think about the volume limit.

Jesus, California and Nevada draining the "flyover" states? Can't get much more dystopian than that.

How about this -- build some desalination plants on the vast Californian coast. Nevada and Arizona can pitch in and share.

That would lower a stock that’s the backbone of every pension and retirement plan in the US.

Not going to happen.

The whole front range area was pretty incredible pre-marijuana legalization. Definitely changed since then. Your friends are right, Californians have been flooding in for a decade plus in greater and greater numbers, and unsurprisingly they bring the same issues they tried to leave behind. Before, that was mostly contained to the Boulder bubble. (homeless issues, loud yet empty activism, blue-no-matter-who, nimby policies, you know the drill).

Sure, Denver has more of a night life now and fancier restaurants I guess?

So it goes.

You missed the key part about women joining the workforce in the 70s.

I use Microsoft because they tend to have a good security development lifecycle.
