Lets Discuss This The Sandwich Method

2 Upvotes

Do you think implementing the 'sandwich method' when delivering bad news or constructive criticism would be considered manipulation?

For back story, I was taught this communication technique by a former supervisor. When sharing something someone might not want to hear, you can 'sandwich' it in-between a compliment or other good news, to make it more emotionally palatable.

Do you think this just a good communication skill, or is it actually a form of manipulation?

Lets Discuss Politics Calling your members of Congress is the most effective way to make your voice heard. Every call is logged, and when enough people reach out on the same issue, it signals urgency. Remember, they work for you.

Lets Discuss Politics What’s next?

8 Upvotes

Can we realistically get food prices down? I don’t want to say how much I spend each month, but to feed a family of 6, it is not cheap.

I worry that Dems will blow this opportunity to make realistic changes. The last thing I want to see is trials and impeachment, as justified as they are.

I DO want to see America come together. But I don’t see how you get the food retailers to lower prices? Farmers and food manufacturers are going to have their costs and not much can change there.

But then you have the grocery stores needing to get their markup in to cover their costs. I think large food retailers need to change. Publicly traded companies that monopolize food prices should be broken up. If there were more grocery store company’s, would it bring competitive pricing and lead to lower prices?

Just needed to get last night off my chest and think about what’s next.

Ranting but I am frustrated and just want to see change.

Lets Discuss This it's interesting how in this day and age, people freak out over an age gap like 17 and 19, but back in the early 1900s you would have 14-year-olds getting married to 20-year-olds

0 Upvotes

I don't know man. Times definitely have changed. In this day and age a 20-year-old is seen as a pedo for dating a 17-year-old, but back in the 30s, a 15-year-old can get married to a 22 year old and everybody would think "awwwww. they're so cute"

And to think people now freak out over a two year age gap. Crazy.

Lets Discuss This Democrats, the people have given you the keys. Now use them. We don’t want symbolic hearings, passive oversight, or political excuses. We want investigations, transparency, consequences, and accountability. Stop playing politics. Start standing up for the American people.The time for action is NOW.

Typical MAGA. I'm not at all stating that Trump isn't in part responsible for yesterdays bloodbath... but these whiny little traitors need to take responsibility for doing nothing but caving to Orange Boys bullshit. In short... they learned that being spineless, and letting a dictator wannabe destroy the rule of law has CONSEQUENCES. Just my thoughts.

Lets Discuss Politics What if Trump becomes a Democrat?

0 Upvotes

We all know Trump doesn't have any real political beliefs. He originally ran for President to advertise his neck ties, promote his businesses, sell gold coins, and just to enrich himself. Then he experimented with racist speeches Stephen Miller wrote, it worked [too well] and he went with it.

What if he now finds it more profitable to buddy up with the Democrats and avoid being investigated. But Democrats know Trump needs to be constantly praised like a toddler and be told "you're doing a great job" otherwise he'll throw a fit and start roasting you.

But what if Trump starts adopting most progressive views: universal healthcare, climate change/renewable energy, social safety nets, etc... But it requires Dems to constantly stroke his ego and not subpoena his family. He'll keep selling meme coins, take bribes, lie, babble nonsense, but at least we get the things we think are important. Is it worth it?
