People like that don’t do jury duty. Being forced to serve like some peasant is beneath them.

His personal cars or do you mean the cybertruck? Because if it’s the latter then it’s not quite as bulletproof as advertised.

Not much difference toward feeding family or paying bills if you’re not getting paid. Better to take the time off and find a new job.

If every single CEO up and left, that would be, on the whole, the single greatest thing to happen for this country. I’d feel sorry for the rest of the world that would have to deal with them, but it would be a giant step foreword for us.

lol, there are actually fewer escorting Superman in a scene meant to be over the top.

You underestimate the enduring laziness of programmers.

I mean, that’s exactly what programmers in the '70s thought. That there would be no way in hell that their crap code would still be in use going onto 2000.

Thing is, copy/paste is always going to be easier than writing new code and that’s only going to get worse as chat bots start coding for us.

Y2K wasn’t entirely fear mongering horse shit. There were quite a few important cogs in our digital infrastructure that were using code that would not work past 1999. It was necessary to terrify corporate ownership into paying to fix the code, otherwise they would have never done it.

The trick is to just get in line and pretend you don’t understand the concept of groups like everyone else does.

That’s all of human history and will never change.

However, now that the untouchable monsters that run things are getting a taste, things are just a tiny bit better.

I’m sure your aunt doesn’t mean any harm, but she is still part of the problem. Those 3-5 properties are 3-5 fewer homes available to own for new families and are a small part of perpetuating the housing crisis.

The term football used to apply to any ball sport played on foot (as apposed to on horseback). The idea that it could only belong to soccer is actually quite arrogant.

Minor nitpick, juries only decide guilt; either guilty or not guilty. There is no way to legally declare someone innocent.

You sir, are entirely divorced from reality. It would be best for you to stop replying to the straw man you made up in your head and reconsider this entire exchange.

The old co-founder’s threat still stands even with a new CEO.

I guess the world can be whatever you want when you just make up reality in your head.

Good luck with that.

You may want to freshen up on your history. Ending slavery was a huge debate right at the beginning. They chose poorly in the end, but not for no reason.

Also, there’s a reason the only person you could come up with for your silly comparison was Thomas Jefferson. He was probably one of the most flawed of the founding fathers. Though he’s still a significantly better man than Musk on the whole.

You seem to be under the impression that you’ve asked me that question before. I’m not sure why.

Still, if you want to shoot Trump I’m not going to stop you.

Most of the founding fathers wanted to abolish slavery, but they also knew they needed the economic power of the southern states’ cotton trade and that they would be virulently against ending slavery. They kicked that can down the road, but laid the groundwork that eventually led us there for the most part.

I’m not sure what you think a discussion is if I’m not allowed to reply.
