  1. If I am one of the guys you are referencing, you have misread me. I am indifferent to it's failure or success. I chime in because I think the Elon situation is funny. I imagine him swashbuckling in like Tony Stark and immediately boiling some hyper complex issue down to a simple solution. Unlike the Ironman, he is demonstrably wrong on every level. He shamelessly rinses, lathers and repeats. It is amusing.
  2. Read the article before discussing why he fired them. Big difference between that and a layoff, which they survived.
  3. Layoffs are necessary at times. Doesn't apply here as he fired these folks.
  4. Dude has a reasonable Iron Mike motif going. Both are unproven to some extent, so those 13:1 odds are tempting.
  5. Very interesting. He says: "I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere." Now, their use is to another billionaire and that use is his demise. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-fires-twitter-engineers-critical-posts-twitter-slack-rcna57250
  6. Fresh dose of capitalism: Musk is complaining some of the people he fired at Twitter are working on Threads.
  7. Amateurs. Coke is 25k per key.
  8. Indeed it is funny. Easy to imagine people laughing and toasting Bud Light with a Modelo or Coors Light!
  9. It is all secure. That is why the tourists fill up the cubby holes with the contents of their pockets.
  10. To sum it up: AB lost little if anything, an ad exec got axed, CEO doubled down and claimed they brew for everyone, Mexico gained a few thousand jobs, months of proud bigotry on parade, indifference by LGBTQ, everyone won but a few thousand US workers that had their jobs exported.
  11. No. They have threats from all sides and make their own choices based on what they consider legal and consistent with terms and conditions. BTW, ivermectin is only effective in treating COVID when taken rectally.
  12. It was found in an area where tourists can put their belongings, so security clearance is not necessarily involved.
  13. I was going to say there are enough cameras to solve this mystery, then Bob manned up and finally found out where he lost it.
  14. Seems to be a pattern forming here.
  15. Non-issue as the left has no neutral person's drug addiction laid bare by amoral sleaze bags.
  16. True. Many/Most of those jobs are being exported to Mexico, due to increased demand for Mexican beer.
  17. You are missing the part where Biden set up - in his mind - a no lose situation. Democrats want to make higher education more affordable, so his executive order is perfectly consistent with supporting the policies of Democrats. Had the order passed legal muster, he perhaps would have bought some votes. Not how it turned out, so he didn't buy anything. However, in the minds of millions the Republicans look like absolute schmucks. Big win.
  18. I cannot tell a lie, it was mine. Consider this my cherry tree moment.
  19. It'll be interesting to see this play out. I'm most interested in: 1) How the government was able to force the suppression of disinformation in a select few companies/organizations, but not countless others. 2) Whether the judicial branch is indeed able to silence the scientific agencies that our society relies on. This order looks like it will restrict what the CDC and National Weather Service (amongst others) can and can't say. Disaster waiting to happen. 3) The effectiveness of packing the court system with politically motivated jurists. Thus far, it appears remarkably effective.
  20. It is going to take decades for Russia to recover from a war they started and nobody else wanted, with no American blood shed. One of a few examples of bipartisan support.
  21. My understanding is a reply is also a tweet, so scrolling adds up fast. I don't have an account, but I click on embedded tweets fairly often and I can no longer read those on Twitter. That use case seems very common to me and surely drives ad revenue. This policy leaves money on the table.
  22. Of course it is dishonest. It is politics. I'm not convinced you understand the actual intentions of his executive order.
  23. Politics at its finest. The Republicans look like cruel and greedy scrooges while the Democrats look like victims - much the same as the serfs indebted to a cruel and greedy system. Didn't cost a dime and nets millions of votes while the Republicans joyfully declare Pyrrhic victory. Biden 2024 - check but not quite mate in his game of 4d chess.
  24. Cancel culture works. This situation is pathetic. https://www.foxnews.com/media/glass-bottling-plants-forced-shut-down-600-employees-jobless-amid-bud-light-controversy Modelo is probably hiring and struggling to keep up with demand.
