Look… Pelosi has shown no sign of losing a step (for better or for worse…) and is one of the few politicians that I believe would know if they are “up to it” or not. And she has a LOT of institutional knowledge.
But also? The Feinstein and mcconnel optics are already HORRIBLE. And she has already groomed Hakeem Jeffries who, hard-on for israel aside, is pretty awesome. Pelosi’s seat is not at risk of being lost to republicans and she would be a lot better suited toward helping and mentoring people as an adviser, rather than being an active politician.
To your first paragraph, decline often comes suddenly. Of course with a two year term, and hundreds of representatives, it’s not as critical of a risk as a 6 year senator, but still.
I think the difference is burnout. Shit has been getting worse at a quicker pace, and we are absolutely showered with worse and worse bad news every day.
That builds, man. And its hard to keep going when it does.
Motivated employees get taken advantage of with more work with no pay raises. These workers have finally learned and reduced their production to be even with those around them.
P.S. If this is you, like it was me, learn entrepreneurship. The harder you work, the more success you have.
I mean if your definition of success is being rewarded with more work with no pay raise then sure, but that’s just not true anymore. People used to believe that and they got taken advantage of, and you even addressed this in the first part of your comment. The real lesson needs to come from the top down. If you want your employees to work harder, pay them more.
You missed a part of the comment you are replying to. tygr said “The harder you work, the more success you have.” in relation to the previous sentence about changing from wage slave to entrepreneur.
The key is to have enough to fail. That’s why you see successful house flippers or whatever who started out with money. They may have started 2 or 3 businesses before they found what worked.
If you start out with only enough money for one business or house, you will be struggling for a long time because you have to make it work to survive. You have no money to expand if it’s a good idea and no money to quit and start over.
The best thing to start with is luck. Second best is enough money, so you can try several times.
When I started, I setup hosting and created 100 websites selling other people’s products. It was like $50/mo to do it. There’s ways to start a business without capital.
These days I would do TikTok videos selling other peoples products. No hosting needed
he took sides and engaged in a military conflict, there's no other way to see it.. he doesn't have that authority, no matter what technology his little company controls..
Captain Sabertooth coins,” said 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate.
what's up Norsemen, who's this Captain Sabertooth, and why don't i know him.. i didn't know i needed a fictional Norwegian pirate until today, but now i need one very much, thanks, that sounds brilliant..
It’s a childrens story character. Kids in Norway are crazy about him. He is one of the main themes in the zoo/amusement park in Kristiansand. They have a midnight theatre (23:00-00:30) with ridiculously high production value. Went there this summer with my four year old twins who had an absolute blast of a time.
Go for it if you can afford it! It’s really expensive by Norwegian standards. We didn’t live at the park, sans the one night we were at the show, but at a friend who lives in the neighboring city.
Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
Every word is completely made up if you think about it. But are you saying nobody knows how to pronounce the Norwegian word Dyr, or the English word Rythm? Either way there are millions of people who disagree with you.
I see. I didn’t know that rhythm had two H’es. Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll let it sit so that the comment chain makes sense. I can’t say that the other comment was in any way helpful though.
It was built with taxpayer money and is critical to US national security. Now it’s being used to help the enemy in war. We absolutely should nationalize it.
No, we should stop filling up our orbit with an insane number of junk satellites…
There’s better ways to provide internet to isolated areas, and just the starlink satellites on their own is effecting a lot of shit. And it’s going to get worse as time goes by and they all break
I was under the impression that Starlink satellites are orbiting too low to meaningfully contribute to Kessler syndrome, since their orbital decay time is 5 years. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like starlink either, I just don’t know of any long term consequences
So what you’re saying is taxpayers are already on the hook for when the cheap shit breaks since Musk is king of government subsidies. So why wouldn’t we nationalize it so we get the benefits too.
If someone gave him a brickin’ early on in life, we wouldn’t be here. Just enough to slow home down a little, nothing grave, take a few points off his IQ
That’s too old testament for me. Specifically these instances. The author’s “explanation” at the end is way off, but it is a good collection otherwise.
Haha, no worries. It just sounded like something he said awhile back or would say and I wasn’t sure. It is nice though to see him popping up here though
