CharlotteRain , in Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses

He doesn’t pay his own legal bills though… He has reneged on paying for arbitration he forced hundreds of prior employees into after he didn’t pay them the severance he agreed to. reuters.com/…/twitter-stalling-hundreds-ex-worker…

In short, he didn’t pay his employees, he didn’t pay his fees when they came to collect, and he won’t pay anyone’s legal bill either.

Hmm, sounds familiar. Isn’t there another guy who never pays anyone who works for him? Can’t quite remember his name, it’s on the tip of my tongue.

Never lose sight of the fact that you’re supposed to direct your politicians to fight for your issues, and not the other way around.

Sue Texas for all they’re worth, this is the American way. Then use the money to move.

MicroWave OP , in Veterans see historic expansion of benefits for toxic exposure as new law nears anniversary
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Under the law, certain cancers and ailments are presumed to be connected to the burn pits that were used to dispose of trash and potentially toxic materials. For veterans who served during the Vietnam War, hypertension and other conditions were added to the list of problems presumed to be caused by exposure to Agent Orange, which was used by the U.S. military to clear vegetation.

Press X to doubt

o_oli , in More Baby Boomers are living alone. One reason why: ‘gray divorce’
@o_oli@lemmy.world avatar

Interesting that boomers are living alone and younger generations are being forced to stay together or at least cohabitate because they can’t afford not to. The financial situation is effecting the social one.

Turkey_Titty_city ,

Your financial situation drives your social situation. Socializing costs money.

Lord_McAlister , in Are G.O.P. Voters Tiring of the War on ‘Wokeness’?

I don’t think they’re actually beginning to care about other people’s opinions and beliefs, I think, I PRAY, they’ve begun to realize that campaigning on the idea you’re going to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on enforcing their beliefs isn’t what you pay taxes for.

I beg of them to realize exactly how much these republican bastards waste their OWN money on useless crap instead of the schools, infestructure, and societal improvements they’re meant to be spent on.

RGB3x3 , in Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses

So say I’m an employee of Twitter. If I say that I value free speech, government regulation and trans people, then I’m mistreated by Musk, will he pay my legal fees against himself?

Doubt.

dmention7 , in Are G.O.P. Voters Tiring of the War on ‘Wokeness’?

Two sides of the same coin, honestly.

Anti-“woke” means refusing to acknowledge the presence of systematic injustice.

“Law & Order” is the dogwhistle for cranking up the tangible effects of systematic injustice.

"Law & Order" = Straight Fascism, No Chaser

CeruleanRuin ,

“Law & order” has always been code for putting [whatever marginalized group you don’t like] in jail.

burntbutterbiscuits , in Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses

I’m glad we have two billionaires who have shattered the illusions we have collectively had that billionaires are somehow super intelligent proficient businessmen.

The idea of meritocracy in the United States is complete bullshit. No man is an island. No one gets anywhere without their family, community, and society.

Even you and me.

No one. Not even that one guy you know.

When I say that he is stupid I way too often get told that he must be super smart just look how rich he got. Like money is a quality of smart people. And on the same note I am treated as a fucking stupid moron cause I am poor, so I can’t know things else I would make money. I hate this world!

baldingpudenda ,

Its a feature of the propaganda, it’s a way to justify to the masses why they gotta work two jobs to eat every day and get to sleep safely. The most honest, hard working, and smartest people I know are just comfortable so long as they watch they spending. It’s because you have to fuck over people to get that amount of wealth.

squiblet ,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

It’s also “see, these people that have an outrageously disproportionate share of resources deserve it”. The claim used to be that monarchy were blessed by a deity; now it’s that they are more intelligent and worked harder.

RedditWanderer ,

They forgot that Musk was born on 3rd base, acting like he hit a home run.

blivet ,

Exactly. While I don’t think he is stupid, the guy was born rich, so it’s hardly a surprise that he has a lot of money.

RedditWanderer ,

Intelligence is one thing, spiraling into mental health issues is another. Musk is not the person he was a decade ago.

Like Kanye, an incredible artist in the past, and social media/ fame/ luxuries made it lose his mind. Musk has severe issues.

IWantToFuckSpez ,

He has some form of megalomania

Littleborat ,

7 years ago or so I contemplated buying tsla stocks.

Me today ROFLs at this. Fuck this idiot.

Wodge ,
@Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

For these billionaires, money is more of a measure of how many people they’ve fucked over to get there more than anything.

ImplyingImplications ,

Have you ever considered that maybe Musk is actually a billion times more smarter than you?

Most people couldn’t lose $30 billion dollars of net worth in 1 year if they tried. That’s the equivalent of being given total control of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell and bankrupting all of them in 365 days with a handful of bad management decisions. Honestly, that takes some skill.

dhork ,

Who is the other one? Surely not Donald Trump, he ain’t no billionaire. He may claim to have that lifestyle but is in debt up to his eyeballs.

The only thing Trump and Musk have in common is their tendency to not pay people what they owe them. I wouldn’t rely on Musk’s promises to pay for anything at all.

MicroWave OP , in Ukrainians move to North Dakota for oil field jobs to help families facing war back home
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

An immigration law firm told Ness that Uniting for Ukraine would fit well for North Dakota given its Ukrainian heritage, similar climate and agrarian people, he said.

The program’s sponsors, including company owners, managers and employees, agree to help Ukrainians find work, health care, schools for their children and safe and affordable housing.

Namstel , in Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bosses

I call bullshit.

MicroWave OP , in Racist abuse by Mississippi officers reveals a culture of misconduct, residents say
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Five deputies from the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, some of whom called themselves “the Goon Squad,” and an officer from the Richland Police Department admitted to taking part in a racist assault against Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrel Parker. The men never thought their abusers would pay for their crimes.
