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.

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

Okay, you’re not required to snarkily broadcast that in the conversation, though. You could just ignore it.

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

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.

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

The politicians are not the elites in charge. No one gets to vote on the oligarchs killing and plundering the rest of us. There is no agreement that can be had with them so there is nothing to break. The only thing left to do is remove them and water the tree of liberty.

It’s odd you seem to have more faith in China than in the US. Personally, while my trust in my country is low, it is infinitely higher than my trust in China.

That social agreement had been broken long ago by the elites like the one recently targeted. It’s funny that only now when someone finally responds in kind that it is suddenly so important.

There’s no national security basis to ban social media from the US or a friendly country. It would be protected by the first amendment otherwise. They have actual evidence that China was using TikTok as electronic warfare, which is the only reason they can ban it.

Not true. That’s why the banning has a clause allowing for the sale of the US portion to a US (or other allied) company.

Argued by racists…

The only reason this is bannable is that it is owned by china essentially; based on national security grounds. As long as the fediverse is never sold to an enemy nation, there’s nothing to worry about.

Mostly other CEOs and a lot of the media.

It will eventually.
