I’m currently looking for a second career job. I’ve put out literally 100+ resumes in the past couple of months. The only two positions I’ve heard back from were from agencies where I knew someone.
Asking for help/an in is not only acceptable, but in many situations, the only way to get a position.
Don’t feel bad for something everyone else is doing.
Conversely, anytime I’ve worked somewhere where a position opens that a friend of mine may benefit, I let them know and will hunt down the hiring manager once my friend applies.
To give Bush his credit, he said that “won’t be fooled again” line because he realized he was about to say “shame on me,” and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.
It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.
What if the dm words it like: “you appear to be in a privy. You notice a hole in the wall.”?
I’ve already put more thought into this than I’m comfortable with.
To be fair, when has a president ever had to deal with an unexpected change of events?

We all know Trump won’t accept the results. He didn’t in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.
It’s really weird when you think about it.
All your boss told you was that if they could, they would pay you less.
All hard work gets you is more work.
