No, I was gonna tell you how I actually start fires with wet wood, I’ll let your answer slide. 🤪

obscene morbid wealth is a mental illness, cured by a regular diet of antitrust and curbs on stock ownership in a companies, limiting both total size and the number of companies owned.

Perhaps the most useful measure is one of scale so whether it’s scraped under one company with that’s a giant conglomerate or a rat’s nest of shell companies, the amount any one person or their allies can have control over must have a definite limit.

The sick nature of the guys from Silicon Valley goes as far as envisioning editing the human genome to "improve" people.

If no one has watched Brave New World various adaptations or read the novel, it is time to do so now.

In a world of very aggressive cops. Know your rights. Unless a cop says you must do x or you will be arrested. It’s all mind games. don’t answer any questions of them and be unmovable but polite.

Dis is deh weh.

Well, even the superficial search, I don’t know how they could keep it afloat..

So for the moment, we’ll just stick with the option B that the purpose the direct purpose is to hook a social media platform directly up to AI and start training whatever they are thinking up Into a social media comment stream.

The goals of billionaires is not to rewrite government functions, but to destroy government to obliterate the nation.

And if you think about it, that makes what what they are doing fully consistent. They may fantasize that they can do government better as authoritarian nut jobs but every time they’ve ever tried their insane libertarian ideas it’s ended in failure.

@br00t4c

You know the justification for an authoritarian rule in the first place is to restore confidence for an incompetent regime.

It doesn’t really seem to be working out well

@br00t4c

No one in the media really asks them what replaces the dismantled government.

It’s like the conservatives are saying we’re gonna shag you in the ass and the guys in the media go oh OK that’s nice. They don’t even bother to ask if they’re going to use protection.

A privatized government is to be ruled by a corporation. They should be taken to task and asked why they believe a corporation should be the government and run society and treat its people as livestock.

Seriously? 😂 🤪

This is totally above board, right?

@harld

That’s so evil, but I like it.

So show us your omelettes, poached egg toast, avocado toasts, frittata, flans, egg custard, soufflés, egg salad, sandwiches, deviled eggs, benedict’s and simple soft boiled eggs.

Hey, Canadian folks out there I think you guys should post pictures here if you’re of the mood to show yourselves enjoying various egg dishes for the American audience now suffering the complete deficit of eggs because the nature of our egg manufacturing sector.

So please do post Your favorite egg dishes, but especially either yourself or others enjoying them Ideally, in the most sinfully indulgent ways imaginable.

Maybe with a snarky caption, “what ‘socialism’ brings”.

@Pinchy63 @georgetakei

Given his history, I would just throw him under the social umbrella of a psychopath. That is a person motivated to manipulate others ruthlessly with little to no concern whether he harms them or not. I would suggest he has sadistic leanings as well.

His personality and his power is a deadly threat to millions of people if not all of us because he’s not alone. The men from Silicon Valley share the very same personality traits, and they too have all the money in the world

Seriously, if US universities expel students for free speech and then vindictively revoke somehow their degrees. Why would anyone from abroad go to a US university?

For the foreseeable future, and education in the United States is a lost cause because the nation hosting those institutions Is methodically destroying higher education. They intend to turn it into stronghold of indoctrination.

@goku12 @CliftonR

And taking into account these rockets are supposed to be reusable, SpaceX design philosophy is incompatible.

The original specifications have failed against design realities multiple times.

The fantasy plan of delivering 1 million people to Mars is unachievable.

Elon failed the basic math.

If you divide 100 people per starship into 1 million, you don’t get 1000 spacecraft you get 10,000

…

@goku12 @CliftonR

These starship with people loaded onto them were supposed to be parked in orbit while the fleet of 1000 ships is assembled and provisioned.

Supplying meals to people in space is extraordinarily expensive. I believe it’s on the order of tens of thousands of dollars per day. So months of that.

But the volume of the second stage isn’t sufficient to carry 100 people, much less than 100 with all the requisite life support and supplies.

@goku12 @CliftonR

So supposedly individuals are supposed survive a nine month journey to Mars in what amounts to a beer can, with no waste management facilities, no exercise equipment to maintain body tone and so on and so forth.

The people who would survive this journey would’ve survived several months breathing a mist of their own waste products without radiation shielding to arrive at a planet with no means to lower themselves to the surface..

@goku12 @CliftonR

And after an extended period in space, they would not be capable of handling even that reduce gravity, but of course we’ll have to somehow do a pressure suit and lower themselves from their nonexistent quarters down 10 or 15 m of a tunnel that has no accommodation for gravity and then lower themselves to the surface and walk around.

The entire concept of the Mars mission isn’t just delusional. It’s psychotic.

@davidaugust

I’ve been shouting that we’re in an actual war for the last, but I don’t know a couple weeks.

And now that the Trump is declared the war powers act you can believe we are going to stumble into real wartime conditions. It seems like that this is going to happen in a matter of hours or days at this rate.

The White House is waging war on the US population. It’s not somebody else. Immigrants suggest the means to turn on all wartime power
