Oh, they’ll be made an example* of - don’t you worry about that.

I hear there’s a good chance for an impromptu vacation to El Salvador for any of those administrators who can’t trace their full lineage back to the Mayflower.

My callous disregard for the loss of life was the sarcastic bit. 😞

Their crime was daring to aid Palestinians, d’uh?

ETA: /s — because this is the internet and sometimes intentional sarcasm needs to be pointed out.

“…a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.”

Tech bros, libertarians, contrarians and people who don’t ’follow politics’.

Not going to lie, for the first chunk of the list I thought I was reading quote of what Trump called those people — not the other way around!

I’d love an anonymised list of the passwords used, out of sheer curiosity. Just how safe/smart are these people, that are entrusted with running the world’s (currently) most powerful nation?

How many “password1234” or “asdfghjkl” would we find?

Just another case of admission by omission.

Ethereum is probably the most well-known of the ‘proof-of-stake’ cryptocurrencies, which don’t require massive resources in order to generate/validate transactions. It made the switch back in 2022 I think?

Just think of it as admission by omission.

Instead of the ‘Taxed Enough Already’; the left needs the ‘Tax Elites Already’ movement!

Better yet, support the next candidate willing to primary him in the next election.

Make sure to spread the word with like-minded and/or politically disengaged friends, family and colleagues.

Given its New York State, the winner of the primary will be the winner of the general election.

Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!

I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back… might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!

It’s pretty common knowledge how these billionaires leverage the value of their stocks/assets as collateral against loans, in order to avoid having to pay capital gains tax.

Even though it’s not liquid cash, there really isn’t much to preclude them from taking out cash loans up to like 70-80% of their value if they ever wanted to (not that they would, as cash depreciates in value due to inflation).

So while you are correct that if they ever had to liquidate their shares the value would plummet significantly - unless something catastrophic happens and the value of those assets plunges well below an acceptable level to their financiers, it will never happen.

If you owe the bank a $100 and can’t pay it back, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100m, that’s their problem.

Aljazeera | How Elon Musk funded his $44bn Twitter takeover

A curious read, seems he spent $27bn in cash on the transaction - so he ‘only’ has loans on ~$17bn, across a swathe of investment groups, wealth funds and banks. Basically, I don’t think a margin call is imminent.

Which is a bit of a shame, as it would be somewhat hilarious to see it fall into the hands of a bank like Chase - being such a toxic asset at this point, to know whether they’d try to salvage/pivot it (ideal, but unlikely) - or just sell it on and write off the loss.

Don’t even try to explain the numbers to conservatives, just make it clear that if it resulted in them getting more money somehow, it would be literal blood money.

One issue with this is, Conservatives don’t care about random people dying - they’ve been conditioned by right-wing media into believing those people who die deserved it, or that it’s just a deep-state conspiracy with crisis actors.

They will only ever change their stance (and even then, only temporarily) when it happens to a friend or family member.

Appealing to their better nature is a fool’s errand.

“Let me be very clear” is such a Bernie-ism… even unattributed, it’s so easy to tell that it’s him.

Truly a global loss that he was never given a fair chance to challenge for the Presidency.

Oh don’t you worry, they’ll still get vaccinated using whatever blend a competent government (EU) decides upon in collaboration with the WHO.

You know that they will still get the best quality healthcare, right? In the taxpayer dime no less!
