He became the richest guy on earth because the system is set up to give you infinite money when you hit critical mass of wealth. Why do you think the rich keep getting richer and the poor get poorer?
He did not get here because he's smart; he's rich and was too rich to fail. He got a leg up in emerald mines which allowed him to gamble and invest during the early internet days, thus allowing him to continue to invest/gamble.
He's certainly helping to change the world but not for the better. His philosophies that guide his policies are inciting violence and giving rise to racism and misogyny.
I definitely think he's a moron, but the system is set up so that I can't possibly take him or his ilk down. I wasn't born into a family that owned heaps of wealth and slavery. I'm not a white male.
But in % comparisons, my quality of life is much better than his. That's where I can take him down.
End rant.
And we're saying that Elon knows <1% of any manufacturing process, evidenced by inconsistencies of manufacturing process across all his companies. The employees know more, yes, but they are not Elon and Elon is not SpaceX.
And, for starters, not unfathomable but made possible through VC money and years of R&D. This makes it possible and completely fathomable. It's all maths and science.
I will encourage him to do just that. Looks like we'll have some PCs coming our way.
Don't know whether to be smug or condescending. Guess I'll be both.
And it's worked on my brother in law who's announced he's buying new PCs for the whole family specifically to upgrade to 11. jFC.
I don't know what to tell you dude. I'm just a foreigner and I heard that message over and over. It was as clear as day for me.
However, message or no, the US have put a convicted felon in charge of the country. I'm gobsmacked by that.
"We're not going back" was her message according to that philosophy.
Our bodies are simply not made to leave earth for a long period. It's a lofty goal but completely unrealistic when considering our biology has evolved specifically to live here.
Has no one learned anything from War of the Worlds?
Also, remember how humanity really messed things up when we started colonising other parts of our globe? We brought disease, we murdered and we polluted.
Wasn't the student debt thing knocked back during the political process by the opposition? I wouldn't say it's Biden's fault for not being able to pass that one through.
I'm just a foreigner who is very interested in global politics and from what I saw, Harris did have a real message, with policies to boot. Such has first home owners grant, small business grant and the goal of increasing the size of the middle class, which means giving more opportunities to lower class.
Trump on the other hand was ranting incoherently and when he was coherent, sent a message that he was going to take people's rights away.
I don't understand how Harris needed to be clearer when it was as clear as night and day that she was the best choice economically and would provide a more stable future. In my opinion, it wasn't Harris' fault she lost. She ran a decent campaign. It's just that America is more than not racist, sexist and uneducated.
Disclaimer: I'm not saying US is any worse or better. Heck, Australia voted no to indigenous recognition in our constitution while the US actually has support for their indigenous communities. We're racist, dumb and sexist AF too. This is just an example of how powerful misinformation can be.
I don't think it's the reason why Trump won.
Also, most people don't experience trans problems, so the whole thing is a storm in a teacup. Let people have more medical care, not less.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Lettuce
Lettuce who?
Lettuce in and you'll find out!
Why didn't the skeleton go to the dance?
Because it didn't have any body to go with
Have you read Project 2025? Your country will literally have a government that can implement all of this without resistance. If a group of people had enough fervour to write such a document, do you honestly think that with all this power they wouldn't implement anything from it?
On top of that, while the US pulls into itself and has a less global presence, it's going to affect the global economy very negatively as the balance of power shifts. With DT at the helm, the balance of power will tip towards China being the next biggest economy.
Anyway, you may not notice a big change unless you're wealthy. Under DT, the poor stay poor but the rich get richer.
Unfortunately, our local council doesn't allow having roosters because of the crowing. Hens only.
Been trying for 6 years. Not desperately, but it would be nice. Thinking about getting chickens.
For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.
I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.
