jewbacca117 , in Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis

Guess the saying is true, if you owe the bank $1000, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $13 billion, its the bank’s problem.

Hmm… How do I get them to lend me $13B??

bradorsomething ,

The key is to have $60 billion.

Zaktor , in Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle

“It’s becoming increasingly common because we’re still in a competitive labor market,” he explains. “Executives aren’t accepting job offers if flexibility isn’t on the table.”

CEOs of major corporations aren’t a “labor market”. They’re a bunch of narcissists looking for their next hit. They won’t accept working conditions that don’t favor them because they a) don’t need to work and b) their motivation is being a business king and the more ridiculous the package is, the better it feels. It’s just a MBA delusion that he has a special brain worth tens of millions of dollars more than promoting some underling. That the market thought 10% of Chipotle’s entire value was this guy’s special brain is just insanity.

TachyonTele , in Derek Chauvin, ex-officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, moved to new prison after being stabbed

That really sucks. I completely forgot to grab dip earlier at the store. Full bag of chips, and I gotta eat them dry watching my show tonight. Booo

theedqueen ,

What kind of dip do you usually get?

TachyonTele ,

I was really excited when I saw bacon dip. Unfortunately it sucks, don’t even bother trying it. I just stay with the tried and true sour cream and onion.

Reverendender ,

I like to make my own Ranch, and I add lots of fresh dill.

Fresh dill sounds nice, never grown my own.

Badeendje , in Alabama says law cannot block people with certain felony convictions from voting in 2024 election
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

So after having served your scentence, this law instates an additional penalty retroactively. Seems fair.

@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

No one should be stabbed in prison, but of all the people who are, this is who I feel the least sorry for.

Reverendender ,

I would be pretty ok if Martin Shkrelli and Sam Bankman-Fried were stabbed in prison.

FiniteBanjo ,

For me it would be Sheriff Arpaio. That definitely happened in the good timeline where he didn’t get a presidential pardon.

Duamerthrax ,

I don’t feel the need to wish people harm, but I also don’t feel the need to care equally for everyone who is harmed. Sucks to suck.

SendMePhotos ,

This is the most appropriate response so far. Condoning violence on someone serving their sentence is kind of fucked. If death were an option, many people would opt for it and this just shows how little people grasp the severity of time is as a punishment.

After approximately two years, people start to lose the ability to live a normal life. They end up becoming institutionalized and only being able to live in a prison facility.

This helps nobody. This does not rehabilitate, teach, or forgive. You can’t get back what was lost, but you can promote growth, or feed hate I suppose. Hate breeds more hate though.

someguy3 , in ‘Monument to history’ battle between US and China over future of Mao’s secretary’s diary

On 30 January 2017, for example, he recorded a meeting with his wife, Zhang Yuzhen, to talk about “the issue of my diaries”. Zhang “agreed with my decision … having Hoover retain the diaries”, he wrote.

Why would Zhang, who is now well into her 90s, spend several years and millions of dollars fighting over a collection of diaries?

Binzy_Boi , in 'Let's Go!' Top Economist Applauds as Harris Signals Support for Billionaires Tax

Gotta say, as someone who identifies as a progressive, she's really been beating my expectations compared to what she was saying and doing back in the 2020 primaries.

dan1101 ,

She needs to get tougher on Israel, otherwise everything I see is good.

MrMcGasion ,

I’m hoping she’s mostly just playing soft on Israel for now is to avoid more criticism of being antisemitic. When Israel started their attempted genocide, most of the Biden administration was silent on it, and we didn’t hear or see anything from Harris, when she did eventually have a public appearance about a month later, she was pretty much the first person in the administration to say anything remotely pro-peace.

I’m probably just huffing copium but I hope she’s just taking AIPAC’s money (not sure if they are giving her any, but better in her hands than theirs) and getting through the election, and then going to go full prosecutor on Israel/Netanyahu.

rusticus ,

Trump just called Netanyahu and told him to turn down the cease fire. All your complaints about Harris should be gone and Trump should be in prison for being a traitor promoting more death for political gain.

WanderingVentra ,

Doesn’t really matter what Trump does if she still supports giving Israel weapons. Netanyahu doesn’t care about the ceasefire anyway. That’s been obvious for awhile now.

rusticus ,

doesn’t really matter what Trump does

Trump said on day one he’d let Israel “finish the job”. What is wrong with you? Bizarro delusion to even consider democrats approach anything other than vastly superior to Republicans.

WanderingVentra , (edited )

I’m going to critize anyone who is currently enabling a genocide. That shouldn’t be controversial, but then I guess there’s more Nazi sympathizers in the US than I thought.

You can’t expect me to clap and applaud for Democrats as they send over bombs and run interference for Israel, just because they act a little sad about it. My advice: ignore what people say, especially politicians, and see what they do.

Also, “if we don’t do a genocide, someone else will” is a terrible excuse to do a genocide. And take a house like the Israeli settlers do lol.

protist ,

The fact that she didn’t have to face a primary this year is a political gift. She didn’t have to go.on record while jockeying to differentiate herself and the instant unanimous support from the entire Democratic party means she can just be herself

Zaktor ,

She started out the 2020 primaries pretty progressive, but would usually roll-back her positions a day later, presumably after some adviser told her it wouldn’t play in Peoria or would anger a megadonor. Maybe that’s where her heart actually lies and her trainwreck of a campaign made her realize those advisors were bad people to listen to.

Zikeji , in Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle
@Zikeji@programming.dev avatar

To be fair, the offer letter mentions he is working from a remote office (and is able to hire an assistant of his choosing). I’m hoping this whole supercommute nonsense isn’t daily and instead like… monthly for some meeting or something.

Who am I kidding though, a $10M signing bonus? He gets up to $250K per year of personal use out of the jet? They’ll even reimburse him $50K of legal and advisory fees he incurs having the offer reviewed by his own lawyers. That’s where I stopped reading.

BarbecueCowboy ,

Flight time itself should be about 2 hours and he’s rich so he has options to skip most of the security theatre, that’s… extreme but doable.

He’s the CEO though so I’d say yeah it being a regular thing is probably unlikely.

Cheradenine ,

No security theatre if you fly private. The most you get is a quick id check coming onto the field.

Zaktor , in Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis

The losses on banks’ balance sheets from the deal are also biting into potential bonuses for some bankers, the report said.

They should just be fired. This wasn’t a deal that looked like it had good potential but didn’t pan out. It was obviously a bad buy right from the start and the guy who was going to run the private enterprise was both spread too thin to run it well, was increasingly erratic in his behavior, and wasn’t any good at the business he was taking over. Everyone knew it was a bad deal at the time.

Tax those mother fuckers.

Thebeardedsinglemalt , in In a classified document approved in March, the president ordered U.S. forces to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and DPRK.

One of those countries, as of March, was already in a losing war and the leader has already made vague threats to a nuclear option. Another country has been trying to get into a dick-measuring contest with world powers by using shows-of-force with long range missiles that happens to share a border with a country they’ve been kiiinda at war with for decades. Both aggressor countries are kiiinda aligned, or at least in league, with China, while the opposite countries are allied/aligned with the US.

This sounds like the kinda thing any rational leader would do.

Also, TIL Russia actually shares a border with N Korea.

Enkers ,

Exactly. I’d be considerably more concerned if they weren’t planning for these contingencies.
