Would I be right in assuming that Anas Sarwar has always been in favour of keeping PIP as it is for existing disabled people but punishing anyone who becomes disabled in the future by denying them vital support?

It's going to be really interesting watching the MAGAs tie themselves in knots trying to pivot to "The government taking away our guns is good, actually" once this lawless administration reaches that step in the Fascist Playbook. [1]
Will the NRA finally rise up against the authoritarian government, as they've long claimed as the justification for their gun fetish? They haven't done it in the last five months.
[1] Probable schedule: sometime between next week (due to "violent unrest in California and other places targeting ICE just doing their job") and just before the 2026 midterm elections are cancelled (or more likely "postponed").

I've been at this tech thing for almost a decade now. It's had its high points, and I've met some incredible people along the way. But this current environment in the industry, especially in the job market, gives me a lot of unease.
Over the last two years, I have put out hundreds of applications for relevant roles with zero responses to sit for an interview, *NONE*. All the while, there's a dark cloud of layoffs that hovers with no clear indication of when it may strike.
I know this describes the experience of many folks on here, and I know I'm lucky to still have the gig I have at all. But still, I don't want to feel like this, so I'm working toward making a change, potentially a big one.
And I'm soliciting feedback from y'all because things feel upside down, and it helps me to get some outside perspective, especially if you've been in a similar place.
So, I'm considering returning to school for a Master's degree in environmental science and/or ecology, with the intent to work on landscape ecology or ecological restoration.
I can explain the "why" behind this later, or ask and I'll try to assemble my thoughts around it.
A little background: Back in the day, I got a Bachelor's in mass communication to work in journalism, which I did for a little bit. I also got a Master of divinity from a seminary I'm not aligned with theologically or otherwise anymore (long story) that I've ostensibly not used in any form since. My tech education started at bootcamp right after seminary, and I never looked back.
Given my professional and family constraints, I'm searching for online programs, and I've already starting comparing ones I've found. I'm not interested in pursuing a PhD at this point, so my goal is to take what I learn and go put it into use as soon as possible.
So feedback I'm looking for from the fedi:
- **Have you made a mid-career pivot?** How did it go, and what did you learn that would have been helpful to know at the outset?
- **Do you know anyone working or teaching** in environmental science or ecology fields that I could connect with?
- **Are there glaring blind spots** I'm missing? Is this crazy?

And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!
- Noone in the #EU wants their gas-guzzling, oversized #SuperUselessVehicles and wannabe-#Trucks because they completely go against any #regulations and #norms in #Europe, being overweight, inefficient, polluting and not even legally #trucks to begin with!
#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.
- Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.
The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!
- In fact, #SouthKorea and #Japan are already #cooperating re: #defense with the EU and most nations bordering "P.R. #China" start to work on contingencies not only re: #Taiwan, but also #Beijing's aggression and #Pyongyang|s continued violations as well as #Russia|n activity...
"The most extraordinary futures often begin with the unplanned detours that happen along the way!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Believe in serendipity and happenstance, because you never know what might happen! That's because your greatest expertise may not be where you first planted your flag, but where curiosity led you to explore!
That's how ChatGPT summarized a profile article about me that just came out. And it's wonderful wisdom that very much seems to match my mindset!
The article, "The Accidental Oracle," appears in the spring issue of Pivot Magazine, which goes out to over 220,000 Canadian Chartered Professional Accountants. You can access the PDF here. A few comments: The Family Guide to the Internet is still available on YouTube, and yes, it's embarrassing. Unlike the article suggests, I did 'rock and roll and party all night' - while doing my stint as an auditor while on the road, I served as a DJ at the local pub. I don't know how I ever survived. And yes, I did a short stint with KISS!
Enjoy! I did!
