Why should I feel sorry for you and answer your question?

Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That’s how capitalism works.

Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.

Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.

Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn’t get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don’t understand camp, and so they don’t get that it’s a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.

Surrendering power and appeasing dictators, famous for not backfiring. /s

We can keep telling ourselves Mark Cuban’s “opportunity economy” was good enough but objectively it was a flop with working class voters. Either it was a messaging failure or it wasn’t populist enough, Bernie is saying it is the latter. If it was a messaging failure, then we’re likely to conclude it is because our media landscape is toxic. Bernie would agree and say that is why we need a populist message to cut through.

NAFTA and Wall Street bailouts come to mind.

In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until they can’t have an outsized influence on our politics.

Oh, I think the people getting rid of Lisa Kahn have other ideas about competition.

The call is coming from inside. Google CEO claims it will be like alien intelligence so we should just trust it to make political decisions for us bro: https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2024/ai/former-google-ceo-eric-schmidt-urges-ai-acceleration-dismisses-climate

You might be on to something in the sense that coming back with a more inclusive response is a better approach. I don’t think that makes them “right” though.

But then how will billionaires get to say they’re literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?

For many months we have heard claims of imminent death starvation of millions and that evacuation from Rafah would be impossible. These claims didn’t materialize

Just thousands of deaths from starvation, not millions, totally not a genocide. /s

The majority of the dead aren’t even of voting age.

The state-wide weed markets are another example of what happens when the US government decides your business shouldn’t be recognized by banks abroad.

Those are the vehicles that transfer the plunder.

Big brain chuds: But what if you used that money to exploit the labor of others?

Lol

I don’t think the content of the threat matters for the IDF’s objective. If we’re to be cynical, the half-ass excuse is a geopolitical posturing to show how brazen they can be with their genocide and possibly a way to demoralize the Democrat’s base before an election.

An alternative phrase to disabled I like is “less exploitable”.

I imagine the capitalist saying: Sorry, I can’t exploit your labor as much as the other. You may starve now.
