After renaming it the MAGA Carta

Everyone is abusing welfare, so I might as well do it too, after all, I paid into it!

Basically their thought process.

I don’t know anything about him, what’s wrong with him exactly?

It’ll work for a while on some people, but yeah, eventually it’ll come crashing all down, especially if companies start using the fake figures into their future planning.

Yet she’s somehow still married to him.

He’s such a sociopath. The whole thing about him admitting he tricked his assistantproducer into dating him by deflating her tires is another example of that.

He designed that cybertruck. Or maybe his son did.

So this is a law that bans something that has basically never happened? And obviously it’s going to be abused and kids are going to get arrested for wearing headphones with cat ears or any other garment that could be construed as animal dress up?

Because most of those institutions aren’t about teaching any more, it’s about soliciting donations from wealthy people, building fancy buildings named after billionaires, and managing all that money.

BDS threatens all of that.

I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.

He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.

Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).

He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.

Great job by leadership who thought that not standing up for student protestors would somehow protect them from reprisals.

Great job by the new health secretary.

She’s not speaker any more, but she’s still a member. And I’m sure she would’ve said the same as speaker.

Nice, thanks. Because the only way I’d survive the apocalypse would be as part of a community, I’m not exactly the warlord type. And plenty of people in the thread are on board with the same idea, so I’m fine with sharing spez.

I mean, Disney still managed to leverage their market position to go from nowhere to bring the top streaming service, just on the back of their intellectual property portfolio (which is a government granted monopoly, obviously, because for all their talk of free markets, they don’t actually want a free market).

Still, none of those people seem to think things through or even think long term.

Yeah, the previous state of flawed democracy was perfect for business and maintaining the status quo. Now they went even further into autocracy and now they’re basically at the mercy of Trump’s whims. It’s throwing long term planning out the window and the new game is just sucking up to Trump and finding novel ways to bribe him.

Musk basically spent a quarter billion dollars to lose a 100 billion dollars more on top of that.

If I end up on top after the apocalypse I’ll go out of my way to get him as a slave.

Ah, the old Winamp gambit.

There’s a bunch of forks of it that are basically the same. Not sure how it works with fediverse stuff.
