Correct; when someone else, especially a huge failed grifter himself, can pick the winners by simply designating then reserve crypto government currencies, they don’t like that. Unless of course it’s their coin.

What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense, he will continue to enrich billionaires and business interests at all other costs. His supporters are gullible or weak or both and won’t fight yhe narratives that will come out. My guess is it’ll be an ego play combined with bribes - remove the actual government regulation and enforcement, then make himself the guy who “puts the hurt on” the drug companies and some fake stats about how much better it will get. It won’t of course, but his supporters are gullible or weak or both. He gets bribes and his ego inflated, health companies and pharmabros get their God and hero in him, and poor people get fucked and say thank you.

As it ever was with him.

Duh

Just wait. There will be mergers and buyouts like you have t seen in your lifetime the next 4 years. Verizon/Comcast/Meta, Disney(abc, Hulu, ESPN, Pixar), Twitter/Fox/tiktok, etc.

Is he still on only on e a week? I might have to just watch that each week and not read news. It’s too painful “raw”.

The guy even makes the nouveau riche embarrassed with his desperate insecurity.

They don’t need to. What they’ve done with high speed rail in 15 years makes me want to cry. They built an entire national HSR network since the great recession. America is such a fallen empire.

If you asked 100 Americans who support this change to point to it on a globe, every single one of them would fail.

From one felon to another. It’s poetic justice that a country that refuses to hold the rich accountable to actions, has now enabled one of them to end the rule of law completely.

It’s seriously over if it was hanging on by anything. Sad and awful times ahead with history as our guide.

Can it run Crisis?

Inevitable after a “no one asked” press releases from his cam days ago saying he “feels supported” at the club and things are going well.

When you read press releases from companies as well unions, understand these public statements are part of negotiation tactics, communication and attempting to exert pressure. Always watch carefully for statements that appeal to emotions but lack details.

While employees are, by definition, under-compensated in capitalism, “Refused proposals on sick pay, salaries, etc.” - without specifics it’s impossible for anyone to guess what they asked for and what the actual response or discussion was.

I personally think unions are most effective when they are transparent and specific about what is wanted, e.g. fight for $15(though not perfect in different geographies it was effective). I also think unions debase their incredibly strong position of being in the right on almost everything by resorting to vagueness, half-truths and unnecessary dramatization.

If you like short stories and westerns, this is such a good movie on Netflix, film by Cohen brothers.

“How’s it working out?”

“Not sure, no one has ever made it to the end to check yet.”

It’s only been delayed 28 times, surely this will be the deadline they stick to.

That’s because rather than petty crime, just as many people if not more are scared of the unaccountable, militarized, discriminatory police forces.

Boeing? Decades of genius and engineering and a market monopoly? Let’s sell all that into the future by doing share buybacks and starving the rest of the company. Winning!

They won’t remember, they’ll be busy eating the BS sandwich of hate and fear and lies that is being served in 4 years and will gladly eat seconds.
