What’s disgusting is that’s only 0.000059% of his total wealth. If instead Musk were only worth $50,000, it would be the equivalent of him spending just 3 bucks on the election.

Eat the fucking rich.

Would that even matter at this point? It feels like it wouldn’t matter.

As long as we’re putting on our tinfoil hats, it’s also possible that this was an intentional action taken against The Atlantic (or against Jeffrey Goldberg in particular). Trump’s admin has plenty of reasons to want to silence that publication, and might’ve hoped that by “accidentally” giving Goldberg access, they could entrap him into committing a crime (mishandling of classified material, espionage, etc).

With a little cooperation from the AG’s office, presto! You’ve got one of your biggest critics in jail, and sent a message to other would-be whistleblowers.

And this journalist had the golden key but he removed himself from the group after he was able to verify it was real. wuss

Doing anything else probably would have exposed them to criminal liability, especially if any classified material was discussed. Then consider how openly hostile this administration has been to journalists, and it’s not a stretch to imagine the AG bringing bogus espionage charges in response to something like this.

Mr. Foreman is survived by his daughter Natalia, his daughter Leola, his daughter Freeda, his daughter Michi, his daughter Isabella, his daughter Courtney, his daughter Georgetta, his son George, his son George, his son George, his son George, and his son George.

Singapore’s CPF is garbage and has far more (and far more obvious) problems than Social Security. The only truly sustainable social safety net is universal basic income and universal healthcare. Anything else is just a bandaid.

Having said that… if the bandaid is all you currently have available, then don’t fucking rip it off.

I’m shocked, shocked!

Well, not that shocked…

Elon Musk claims to have saved taxpayers $105 billion

So we’re gonna be getting all of the money he saved us back as a tax rebate, right?

…right?

You’re, right he did. In 1992.

As far as I can tell, his political strategy has not evolved even a little over the past 3 decades, as he continues to push unpopular ‘compromise candidates’ and continues to tell people to ‘sit down and shut up’ whenever they suggest maybe the Democrats should chase some reforms that benefit the working class rather than simply appeasing the Wall Street paymasters.

I don’t know if stubbornly sticking to the same failing strategy for 30 years makes you ‘stupid’, but it certainly doesn’t make you smart.

Carville needs to ‘strategically retreat’ back into whatever Louisiana snake hole he slithered out of.

Without a spacecraft. Or a suit.

Honestly, even that is being too generous.

Programming has this crazy mystique of being something that only “smart” people do, but it’s not. Software development is much, much more like a more conventional ‘trades’ job. I’ve been writing software for 15 years, and I feel like I have more in common with plumbers and electricians than I do with doctors or engineers.

To be fair, a lot of left wingers think that about Jimmy Fallon too.

Okay, maybe a little evil…

Wow… I can see all the way to his spacetime duodenum…

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld: You don’t run for office with the electorate you want, you run for office with the electorate you have.

What, what? 0.5% of our brains are plastic? That’s absolutely insane. What the actual fuck…

Psycho mantis??

Why tf y’all casting spells over here?

1: Abandon regulations. If corporations don’t have to invest into safety, ecology and such stuff they have lower production costs which can mean lower prices.

I think corporations have pretty clearly demonstrated an unwillingness to pass savings in their production chain on to the consumer. For example, very few items have gone back down to their pre-pandemic price point, even though scarcity and supply chain issues from COVID have largely resolved.
