They didn't claim that though? They went on to talk about other factors too. The point of mentioning revenue was to portray him as "the American Dream", going from a small town to leading a major company.

Keep in mind I'm not defending the guy, but I don't see the point in being purposely obtuse

Because they are trying to paint him as a productive member of society. Revenue is still the measure of how much business you do.

That much revenue isn't, by itself, the bad part. Revenue is just how much you take in from your sales. If they had minimal overhead and paid the majority of that out to claims, that would be fine (in the context of our existing healthcare system). The problem is the profit, how much of that $280B goes into the company's pockets instead of claim payouts.

You clearly don't know biology do you

Says the person claiming a fetus is a fully developed human.

are you capable of sustaining yourself I you were left in a jungle ?

Millions of people live in the jungles of the world. How many fetuses live outside wombs? Oh right, none. Because there's a difference between having the skills to survive in the jungle, and being a fully developed human capable of independent biological survival.

Have you ensured that every single one of your gametes resulted in a child? Then you're a genocidal hypocrite.

Then how come they can't survive without leeching off a host? 80% of pregnancies spontaneously end in miscarriage. That doesn't sound viable or fully developed to me. If it could survive outside the womb, you'd have a point. But it can't, so you don't.

You know who was actually fully-developed? All the women who have died due to pregnancy complications thanks to draconic laws that take away their rights over their own bodies. I'll hold you responsible for murdering them.

Did I protest?

I know, I was doubling down to reinforce the veracity of the judgement against me, to contextualize my dissent

I do not run a Lemmy instance.

I was way into Musk when he was the face of Tesla and SpaceX. Less so when he started getting weird. Jumped ship before he started getting real Bond villainy.

I'm not gonna hate on any season. They've all been half filler and half Harmon confessing his sins, and most of them have been roughly entertaining for the most part. Even the meta shit is roughly entertaining.

I don't think they outsource. If you drink Paulaner, you're drinking Paulaner
