What to do if you're 40 and you've realised you can't stand office work at all because you have #ADHD, but the only job experience you have is 13 years of being a software engineer?

Instead of writing, they were now tasked with polishing drafts generated using an AI system the company was developing, internally dubbed MEL."

…the appearance [is] part of #Biden’s “Investing in #America” strategy, …drawing a sharp contrast w/ #Trump, who spent Tues posting angry msgs on social media about his #criminal trial for falsifying business records to conceal #HushMoney payments to adult-film actress #StormyDaniels.
In 2018, when #Foxconn, at Trump’s urging, announced plans to create 13k good-paying #jobs in #Wisconsin, he celebrated the company’s $10B venture outside Racine as the “8th Wonder of the World.”
