as I have climbed higher in the corporate world, this is becoming clearer and clearer. people respond far better to a confident idiot than they do a pensive expert.

nah, you're thinking of the guy who owns x. like anyone would be dumb enough to destroy that much brand recognition by renaming twitter..
something about this seems familiar. I swear, there was some dude who wanted to buy twitter to prevent this exact sort of thing from happening.. wonder what ever happened to that guy?
setting the stage for the next coup attempt?
laws are just threats made by the ruling class
you know, I've never heard it stated exactly like this but shit, well said.
good, I'm glad. I saw it in the theater and the biggest thing I took away from it was an appreciation for not having overdone it. just a fun, nostolgic take on an old halloween classic with ultimately low stakes. hit just the right note as far as I'm concerned.
still 100 million is a lowered budget. sheesh.
the grift pays.. holy shit.
$100k a MONTH
Wasn't it 100k a week
well said. money in politics has some pretty awful downstream effects. who'd have ever thunk it...
I swear shit has gotten exponentially worse since I was young. For example, last year I suffered a brain injury, I have about a month of missing memory. During that month, my homeowners association sent notice that they were being sold to another management company and the autopay I'd been using for 5 years would be cancelled. I missed this notice due to being in the hospital with brain damage and so never got new payment switched over.
I'm used to companies being gracious and working with their customers. Instead I had a lawyer sicked on me and the paperwork to forclose my house was started. I wound up having to pay all their legal fees and penalties which was an order of magnitude more than the actuall missed payments.
This was the most painful one recently but this is par for the course. Someone else said it in this thread but it's become a real dog eat dog world, something that used to be a folksy saying has now become a harsh reality.
Is it infrastructure week yet?
projection and propeganda, full stop.
