Woo we have full employment because everyone is so poor they are working three jobs! /s
This is why people don't take Democrats seriously. Too much crowing about bullshit like this.
It's like the ACA, they crowed about how many more Americans were now insured, but they didn't talk about how universal healthcare would mean you don't need to cover everyone with "insurance" anymore.
Just like a few years ago when they crowed about how a thanksgiving dinner was like $3 less than the year before.
It's all public relations propaganda bullshit.
The parties aren't the same, but they serve the same masters of capital who only want to see US citizens getting scraps. Democrats love to pat themselves on the back for the bare minimum for their citizens. They know they don't have to try because the other party literally wants to kill their political enemies. Not hard to sell yourself as "better" when it is as simple as "we aren't actively trying to kill you like they are, but we will let you starve to death or die of medical complications."

The sale of Pebble was supposed to include the developers jobs. They found out very late in the game that this wasn't true. He screwed his devs on the way out. Basically said "fuck your job, good luck.". Real shitty way to handle it, imo.
Coupled with the fact that it meant all real support for Pebble was gone as well, it really was about Micigovsky making out with a bunch of money and saying "good luck, I dont actually care what happens" to his devs and the people who bought a Pebble.
The way it shook out just doesn't make me trust him. I think he would do the same thing again, sell to a more scummy third party who will strip Beeper for profit when he isn't making enough money.
I honestly distrust their business model as a successful long term one, based on his past.
