The North Carolina GOP have sort of flown under the radar but are busy passing unconstitutional laws and usurping power following Donald Trumps playbook. These fascists are not hiding what they’re doing, and if they’re given complete control they will be scrolling through the rise of nazism Wikipedia page to see what they should do next.
Nah, its not Trumps playbook. Back when I was in college they tried to pass a constitutional amendment that would annul same-sex marriages for simply entering the state. NC GOP has been wild for a long, long time
Trump’s playbook is the same as any Conservative playbook, from Nixon to Reagan to Bush to Gingrich to Cheyney to Boener to Trump to Gaetz. It’s the same plays, but Trump had less tact and no filter, and he proved you don’t need tact or a filter because conservatives will vote for anyone they think will help them.
This. I grew up in single-party Republican Texas. It’s only now that people outside the South are really paying attention to what they have been doing to us.
It certainly makes it more likely for the rich to be able to go to the senate. Especially if you’re an especially big and tall guy like Fetterman who would have to get all of his suits tailor-made.
Oh absolutely but they don’t hold titles or political power granted by blood. If the Vanderbilt family loses all its money that’s it. I’ve known several poor people whose family had been old money but lost it all. Our aristocracy has to fight to stay an aristocracy.
And yeah that’s part of the point of the senate. It was clearly meant for representatives to be the common dredges of society, whoever the hell the people of a small geographical area felt represented them at the time. Both the 6 year term and the 2 per state quantity are meant to make it a more prestigious institution. It’s more expensive to become a senator and you have to be able to appeal to people outside your area. That results in a handful of senators that aren’t alike, but for the most part they’re career politicians, rich people, backed by rich people, or from a more legal background. A representative Kennedy isn’t sure they want to be a politician that much, is breaking their teeth, or is a fuckup, kennedies are senators. The founders of the United States saw themselves in the senate or executive branch. Hell, even in states with more senators than representatives, due to the greater power of senators they’re the ones that fit those descriptions.
Let’s remember that a bastard who married rich that had a good deal of influence on how our government works. He definitely was making sure that he had a future.
“Separate allegations made by colleagues indicate that he and another physician, Dr. Matos Cruz, were observed watching YouTube videos on medical procedures they were unfamiliar with. One patient reportedly died after such a procedure, while another had to undergo three additional procedures at Ohio State University, according to families connected to the procedures.”
The “dr” who performed the original surgery was already facing alligations that his creditionals were not up to par. How the fuck was they allowing him into surgery? I hope this hospital gets sued into bankruptcy and they throw that kid in prison for malpractice and murder.
I just want to point out of all the things here this is the least alarming, although context is key. Trust me when I say your medical professionals are googling and YouTubing all kinds of shit. I’ve watched doctors google procedures before attempting them, especially if it’s a rare procedure. YouTube actually has hundreds of hours of manufacturer hosted content designed specifically for this. Now again context is key. They say someone died after they attempted the thing they were searching. That’s def a problem especially if it were some procedure they should be fully competent to perform.
If your mechanic is googling how to change some obscure part on a car he rarely works on, mmmm that’s reasonable. If your mechanic is googling ‘how to turn on windshield wiper Toyota Camry’ we got problems.
I remember sitting at the nurses station one day and someone asked the ER doc if she was familiar with this extremely rare genetic disorder. She goes ‘how dare you ask me that question I am a MEDICAL DOCTOR.’ There was a bit of a pause and she goes ‘ haha just kidding I have no idea but I’m gonna look it up’ .
This. Knowledgeable professionals “google” things all the time.
If you need an unusual procedure, would you prefer your surgeon googled it to find a video of some prof explaining it, or a surgeon that just tries to remember.
As a programmer, I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google. I don’t bother with formal training courses anymore, when a quick skim of Google gives me what I need much quicker. Text books? I have not bought one in decades.
Tears for your career when someday you search some obscure code in a language you don’t regularly use and it comes back with only ads for a paid sub for a high powered coding AI.
Or when your employer is sued by stack exchange after a code audit because their TOS says they own the copyright on all user submitted code and their whole business model is get everyone used to using it and go after businesses for copyright violation because programmers copy paste code blurbs.
The number of code snippets that can be copied and pasted and fit your use-case exactly is almost 0. The number of those code snippets that are well written and would survive code review is even smaller. Stack overflow is good for getting an idea of what libraries exist. Good programmers use it for inspiration and move on to official docs from there (assuming they exist).
There’s usually other non-stack exchange resources that pop up in searches so I’ll just scroll on to those.
And that copy pasting can include changing variable names to match yours while still violating copyright. And I agree that good programmers don’t even do that, but there’s a lot of not so good programmers out there.
I am the same way. Taught myself c#,Unity, Blender, Gimp, Audacity and more and made a top rated VR app in a 3 year period. Now I still the these resources, plus several AI’s. Love how accessible information and knowledge is becoming.
Especially since medical science has almost certainly advanced since their days in medical school, and it's absolutely impossible to keep up with all the new discoveries, medications and procedures.
Absolutely true but when it comes to certain procedures that use specific pieces of equipment you often have to use manufacturers content as guidance. There’s also a lot lot of content online for different techniques and approaches to care that might not be accessible otherwise.
I’m not a doctor but jump on uptodate any chance I can. But I frequently use trusted resources on sites like YouTube for broader topics for refreshers or if it’s a particular skill I’m working on and the source is trusted.
Again there’s a huge jump from doing a bit of refreshing and say, popping a YouTube video on for a serious procedure and then going yolo without the proper training to actually do it.
What do you mean? It’s perhaps the most apt analogy I can think of. In the strictest literal sense, physiological care is a flesh mechanic servicing your flesh parts. The main difference here is a matter of scope, but that is the point of analogies; to reframe a thought in a smaller and comprehensible way.
Only way we could stay 1:1 is if the discussion is solely populated with qualified medical professionals and not a mix of differently educated laypeople.
Laypeople is a very new term. Layman is the time honored term, because people think -man means male. Werelay and wyflay would be gendered terms specifically referring to men or women, layman is ungendered.
In recent times we’ve changed the meaning of the suffix -man to be synonymous with the prefix were-.
It’s a shame, because it implies we were something we weren’t (re: sexism in that part of language) - but I am not defending the stance of not changing it. Just be aware: it’s new.
I dated a doctor and he told me they’re googling stuff all the time. It’s a bit unreasonable to expect a doctor to have an encyclopedic knowledge of every single malady known to the human race.
Yeah, it’s worse when they aren’t doing research. My ex was trying to get a referral to a clinic specializing in a condition she was sure she had so she could get an official diagnosis. Her family doctor kept just saying she didn’t have it until one day I went with her and asked him what reasoning he was using to rule it out and he admitted that he wasn’t very familiar with it and would read up about it. Her next appointment was a short one because he immediately knew she should be referred after he actually did read about it.
There’s ego in this but maybe also some sexism, I say this because I have read it mentioned a lot that women have a hard time getting proper diagnosis.
Women and minorities both often aren’t taken seriously by patriarchal medical providers. Fortunately, this is being addressed more and more in their education, but it’ll take time.
In the US, training for nurse practitioners has incorporated bias awareness and patient-centered care concepts for much longer, so you might bear that in mind when seeking care. Also, for women specifically: you can go to a nurse midwife for general women’s health services, not just pregnancy care!
I have a rare nerve disorder and I’m always impressed when doctors know what it is. I can tell when they know too, because their reaction is usually, “Oh! Oh.” And then the pity starts and I have to tell them to snap out of it.
Something was almost certainly fucked up with that kid before hand.
Well sure, but the chip still contributed to his death.
Like, if someone has a skull as thin as an eggshell and you—unknowing—slap that guy and he dies, you still killed him even if someone with a normal skull would’ve been fine.
Edit: The Snickers comparison is a much better one, thank you. I rescind my point.
The product in question in principle is safe and was used as intended. That the kid died from it, has nothing to do with the product itself. Snicker’s wouldn’t be pulled, if someone with unknown peanut allergy died from eating one.
The One Chip isn’t dangerous due to allergens per se, but compounds which can have a strong effect on people’s internal biology the same way a pharmaceutical would especially in the concentrations they’re using to get the super spicy outcome. Regardless of whether the kid had a preexisting condition if the chip’s affect on his body caused changes which contributed to his death then there could be others out there who would have similar complications and as the product continues to gain popularity there is increasing liklihood of such things happening.
These things aren’t tested for safety in any way. Hell, a 14 year old was able to get ahold of the product with presumably no issues.
Paqui is being safe by recalling the product, and hopefully we can get to the bottom of this before anyone else is hurt.
Yeah I suppose that statement was a little broader than it needed to be. Since you can’t seem to pick up on context clues, I’ll spell it out for you: the FDA is not going to put every single food product to market through rigorous testing like you would for a pharmaceutical (nor should they). They are going to weigh in on the overall safety of the ingredients used and that the product is generally safe.
They aren’t going to evaluate whether there are potential harms or comorbodities for every single slice of the population, which could lead to complications for products like the One Chip which have high concentrations of potentially harmful compounds.
With something like hot sauce you can point to the serving size as a safety factor, but the chip is meant to be eaten all at once.
Again, Paqui is being safe by recalling the product until more information is available.
I think they should follow suit with some of the other extremely spicey foods. A retailer that I used to go to made you sign a waver and required that you prove that you were at least a certain age to buy it. Part of getting the waiver to sign was being told what it can do.
I didn’t buy the hot sauce myself, but the staff explained that it could legitimately burn your skin if you left it on for too long. I wish I remember what the sauce was called.
I was shocked at the time that you had to sign a waver to buy hot sauce. It was a weird concept to me. Incidents like this must be why. It makes sense, now that I think about it.
This. There’s no known mechanism by which oral capsaicin can kill someone, and millions of these chips have been sold and eaten without incident. They’ve been on the market for 7 years. You’ll notice even the article is careful to say that the chip “was implicated in” his death, or that “his mother believes the chip caused his death”, but no one will actually say the chip killed him. This is because they don’t know what happened at all. It makes sense to pull it from the shelf and I’m glad they did that while they figure out what happened, but unbeknownst to me everyone on Lemmy is a post hoc pathologist because we’re all talking like we know for sure the chip killed the kid. Sometimes life is too complicated for common sense, you know?
He’s never going to pay to help any of these people because he believes they are supposed to go to jail for him. He believes that’s part of the “plan” that only exists in his head.
He has even expressed the opinion on record that he thinks any loyal Republican should always take jail time to protect him and never speak against him. He really does think he’s a mafia boss
I’m sure this won’t end up being a huge deal, but the funny part is that this apparently wasn’t planned for. Gives you some insight into how much of a shit show Twitter/X HQ must be right now.
Leaded gas just started being phased out in the US in 1973 was still in use in the 80s was didn’t stop entirely until 1996. South Africa didn’t ban it until sometime between 2002 and 2006. It’s often used in reference to boomers, but gen x was also affected, even millennials to a lesser degree.
I’m not. Prince was awesome. He changed his name to a symbol because Warner Bros trademarked his name and wouldn’t let him do what he wanted with his own music. People started calling him The Artist Formally Know as Prince. But the reason was ignored and everyone made fun of him.
Musk is an idiot and loser and shouldn’t be even tangentially compared to Prince.
I think you’re a little silly for assuming that directly references Prince. I wasn’t even alive when all that stuff with Prince was happening and I had only heard it happened in a conversation I had with my mom when I was like 12. A conversation suddenly brought back to mind by your comment.
That’s just kinda what you call something that was formerly known as something else when the something else is not well received.
This might hurt a little, but I don’t think most people today know who Prince is. I just know that he was a musician. That sentence is also a commonly used sentence in such scenarios, unrelated to one person.
That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.
The way I see it, the bigger problem is that capitalists aren’t happy people. The rest of us certainly don’t enjoy it, and all they get is to feel in control
As an outsider I honestly just don’t get what people see in this idiot. How can you take someone that talk like that seriously? He sounds like a nutter that is promising crazy stuff that would literally mean the end of the USA as we know it.
If he’d get his way with this and the other project 2025 stuff it’d honestly be the end of America I think.
Trump is a cult leader in all but name. His zealots support worldviews that have been made illegal, taboo, obsolete, or otherwise unacceptable, like white supremacy and racism, fascism, theocracy, homo-/transphobia, and mysogyny; they perceive this as an attack against their lifestyles by “the others.” They will rally to the loudest voice that speaks out against “the others” and support him as long as that remains true.
Trump cultists are irrational creatures, you can’t apply rational expectations and deduce a satisfactory answer.
I’m Canadian and whenever I’m abroad, the locals ask me what the fuck is wrong with Americans. Expecting I’ll know better bc we’re neighbours.
Which is true, since we’re more likely to interact.
All I can reply is, “They’re just totally fucked!” It’s that simple!
Also, when I meet Americans abroad now, the first thing they do is apologize for America. That’s the only Canadian trait that’s rubbed off on them.
He promises simple solutions with no sacrifice, essentially just “I’ll fix it.” Certain people love that. Don’t care what the solution is, don’t care that the problem has been simplified beyond recognition, just fixshit.
As an American, neither do I. The man was a national joke for 30+ years, and all it took was a shiny new coat of paint in the form of a reality TV show where they just straight up constantly lied about his wealth and business acumen, for people to literally begin worshipping him.
Watching your loved ones fall into this shit is heartbreaking.
As an insider, it’s even worse. You didn’t have to suffer 4 years of continuous clusterfuck and embarrassment only to be topped off by a planned insurrection that they still try to gaslight everyone about.
You’re absolutely correct that it would be the end of America.
I think what Trump’s following kind of reveals is a sad truth about humans generally; about a quarter of people are very stupid and very susceptible to cult-think. It doesn’t always manifest as support for a politician, it could be anti-vax beliefs, or racism, zionism etc.
Wherever you are, about 25-30% of people are simply not equipped to think critically, and that stupidity is activated or weaponized under various conditions, most often during times of economic stress or social chaos. People who can’t understand the complex causes of a problem are easy to manipulate – you give them a simplistic answer.
“It’s the jews” or “trans people are the root of your problems” etc.
It can happen anywhere because a certain demographic of people are just dumb, and there’s no way around it other than trying to reduce human suffering across the board and making it less likely that anyone is struggling.
I think if Trumps plan plays out and if If Project 2025 is enacted it will likely have more than an effect on the US, it will likely have profound effects on the world. It will change geopolitics and economies through shifts in alliances, trade dynamics, nationalistic sentiments, and domestic economic policies.
Thinking it through, it’ll probably move towards an increasingly complex global landscape, overshadowed by uncertainty and potential conflicts.
I remember when there was all kinds of brouhaha about how america would never ever turn into another islamic state or taliban. Seems that has been decidedly forgotten
No this was always intended. It’s the same exact people that screamed about Barack Hussein Obama bringing Sharia law. They were always worried that he was going to introduce Islamic religious law before they could introduce Christian religious law. It was never hidden, the statements were literally along the lines of, “This is a Christian country, Sharia law is not right for us.”
The only issue they ever had about them was they were enforcing the wrong religion. Would totally be okay with Islamic state/taliban/sharia law if it was Christian instead of Muslim.
Are you fucking kidding? So special attorneys, which have been used by pretty much every administration and every congress since the position was created, are not valid now?
I’m not a law expert, but was the way she dismissed it make it so he can’t be charged again in either another jurisdiction or by the appropriate (in her mind) prosecution team?
I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.
We should all arm ourselves now. Every single bit of this is unprecedented, in the worst possible way. Better to be safe than staring down the barrel of a Luger.
Counterpoint: if you are staring down the barrel of a Luger, I would suggest NOT doing what they tell you to do.
The Nazis had a habit of forcing someone at gunpoint to do something worse than getting shot. Like telling you to bite the curb, or kill your friend, then they shoot you.
The big threat of that would be a dismissal after a jury was sworn. At that point, jeopardy attached, so rebringing the case could be unconditional under the double jeopardy clause [0].
The virtually unappealable way to do this would be to wait until the prosecution finishes their case. At that point, the defense will file a routine motion for a directed verdict that judges routinely deny. The defense gets to do that again after presenting their case. In either case, the judge granting the motion is not apealable.
The judge could wait until after a verdict and issue a judgement not withstanding verdict, but that is appealable.
[0] Not always though. A mistrial from a hung Jury can always be retired. Other forms of mistrial may be retryable depending on the facts.
That should be clear. Palestine is a nation, but not a location.
Edit: I don’t know why people are so upset. This is a factual statement, not meant to discredit Palestine, and is a very important part of Israel’s oppressive leverage. As a direct result of their displacement, Palestine is a people. The nation is wherever the Palestinians live. The land they govern is only defined by their occupation.
Palestine is recognized by the UN as self-determined nation of people. It is not a country with internationally recognized borders. That is why their land is referred to as Palestinian territory and not the country of Palestine. It’s also why Netanyahu wants to evict them for easy circumvention of international law prohibiting settlements in occupied Palestinian territory.
Palestine, officially the State of Palestine, is a country in the southern Levant region of West Asia. It encompasses two disconnected territories — the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, collectively known as the Palestinian territories — within the larger region of Palestine.
But it’s not. If Palestinians leave territory, that land is no longer considered Palestine. Palestine is where the Palestinians live. Their nation has territories defined by residence, but is not a country with borders. I wasn’t slighting Palestine. It’s just the unfortunate state of their international recognition.
Historically, maybe, but not legally. It’s the reason Netanyahu wants to evict them. He can circumvent the laws on settlements on occupied territory without invading another nation if the people are no longer there, because it is not part of a Palestinian country. They’re a displaced people without sovereign borders. The nations that show them the respect of recognition as a sovereign nation have not set agreed-upon borders to define Palestine as a country. It’s important to know the law to see how he’s circumventing it.
I’m stating a fact. It isn’t subjective. You don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t make it false.
You should know this if you care about Palestinians. It’s a very important part of how Netanyahu’s “favor” of evacuation rather than bombing immediately allows Israel the legal right to claim an area as their own.
Palestine is an internationally recognized nation-state, but is not a country according to the UN. The 1949 armistice line, or “Green Line,” made up the boundaries of Israel, the West Bank (the area west of the Jordan River) and the Gaza Strip. Therefore, Palestine’s border is only determined by an Israeli agreement, and not internationally recognized by the UN. If Palestinians leave an area, it is no longer considered Palestinian territory.
That’s exactly why Netanyahu is trying to coerce evacuation of regions. Once uninhabited, he can legally begin occupation of land that is no longer considered Palestinian territory.
France is a country, not just a nation. Their borders are internationally recognized, regardless of inhabitants. The same can be said for the large swaths of unpopulated Newfoundland in Canada and Siberia in Russia. The land isn’t forgone due to being uninhabited. The same is not true for Palestinian territory.
Palestine is an internationally recognized nation-state. A nation because they are a group of people that share a common culture, and a state because they govern themselves. It is not a country according to the UN. The 1949 armistice line, or “Green Line,” made up the boundaries of Israel, the West Bank (the area west of the Jordan River) and the Gaza Strip. It only determines where Palestine isn’t, not where it is. Palestine’s border is only determined by an Israeli agreement, and not internationally recognized by the UN. Therefore, if Palestinians leave an area, it is no longer considered Palestinian territory.
That’s exactly why Netanyahu is trying to coerce evacuation of regions. Once uninhabited, he can legally begin occupation of land that is no longer considered Palestinian territory.
Why would the name of the place change just because Palestinians weren’t living there?
Huge numbers of places in the U.S. are named after Native American groups that were driven out. Why would Palestine be any different? Because Netanyahu says so? Why would you be on his side?
The borders of a country do not change due to occupation. Palestine is not a country. It is a nation-state. The UN recognizes Palestine as a self-determined people. Palestine is where the Palestinians are.
The Palestinian Territories are the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. They are not called the country of Palestine. If they leave the West Bank, it will still be the West Bank, it just won’t be Palestinian territory anymore.
Of course I’m not on Netanyahu’s side. I’m saying this is a large part of the problem. It’s one of the main components in Israel’s ability to drive out Palestinians and expand.
Cool. We’re not talking about a country or a nation-state, we are talking about a location.
A location that has been called Palestine continuously for thousands of years. It is a location that has multiple names which are still used today including the Levant, Judea, Israel and Palestine.
So, again, why would the name of that location change no matter who lived there?
So far, the answer seems to be “because that’s what Netanyahu wants” and, again, why do you care what he wants?
I’ll give you one last chance to answer both of those questions since I’ve asked both of them more than once, the first one multiple times, and then I’ll give up. I think you realize you’re just doing Netanyahu’s PR work for him and you’ve dug yourself into a hole.
You’re being dismissive and accusational. I’m not defending the lack of recognized Palestinian borders. Just the opposite. For a platform full of pro-Palestinian people, I’m very disappointed in the ignorance I’m encountering. Their lack of recognized borders is a massive factor in this conflict, and I’m surprised it’s not only virtually unknown, but is considered scandalous to even point out. No matter how many nations recognize Palestine as a nation, they won’t have their own borders until they are recognized as a country.
I didn’t think you would ever answer my questions.
I can’t bear people who just stubbornly refuse to even acknowledge they were asked questions they won’t answer. Just be honest and say you won’t answer the question and save everyone some time.
“You see, Ukraine is not a location because if the Russians kick out the Ukrainians and then rename it, it’s no longer called Ukraine. Because… the Russians currently don’t recognize Ukraine and that that means it doesn’t exist right now!”
That sure seems to be the argument. And now they have the gall to ask me what question they left unanswered. Amazing. I think I’ll let them try to figure that one out on their own.
It’s not according to the UN. Their occupied land is Palestinian territory. If they vacate, it is no longer theirs, leaving it available for Israel to claim. It’s a large part of the occupation problem that Palestinians face.
In contrast, Ukraine has internationally recognized borders. The currently Russian occupied towns and cities are still Ukraine, not Russia.
“Nation” refers to a group of people who share a common culture, history, and language. It’s a term that’s often used to describe a community of people who identify with each other and have a sense of shared identity.
On the other hand, “country” refers to a geographical area that is controlled by a government. It’s a more concrete term that describes a physical location rather than a group of people.
I’m aware of the difference. But your own post mentions the geographical area that Palestinians govern. So I’m at a loss as to how you can day there isn’t also a Palestine country?
They only govern it because they reside in it. The governance of land is what defines the “state” in nation-state. Unlike in a country, if they leave an area, it is no longer Palestine. That’s a problem for Palestinians. If they vacate due to bombings, they forgo the right to their territory. That’s exactly why Netanyahu is trying to force evacuations. International law is against Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, not Palestine, because it is not a recognized country.
In contrast, the same actions in Ukraine do not change that it’s still Ukraine. When the Ukrainians evacuate and Russia takes control of a city, it becomes a Russian occupation of Ukraine.
I’m just trying to educate on the matter, not discredit Palestine at all, but people seem to be too sensitive to want to know the intricacies of the problem.
That’s just how being a country works. Of course you can’t govern the area if you leave.
But I think what you’re actually talking about is the Oslo accords, which are completely fucked and were supposed to be a temporary phase leading to a two state solution.
See the thing is the borders of West Bank and Gaza are well known. It’s just people that try to downplay illegal settlements and land grabs that pretend they aren’t well known.
That’s simply not true. Canada’s borders are internationally recognized, even though Newfoundland is mostly unpopulated. The same can be said for Siberia in Russia.
I’m referring to their UN designation of a self-determined nation-state. If the UN would recognize them as a country with established borders, it would assist them in defending against Israel’s occupation.
“Nation” refers to a group of people who share a common culture, history, and language. It’s a term that’s often used to describe a community of people who identify with each other and have a sense of shared identity.
On the other hand, “country” refers to a geographical area that is controlled by a government. It’s a more concrete term that describes a physical location rather than a group of people.
Once, as a teenager, I switched channels on the TV, and there was a movie. A caption appeared on screen: “Rhode Island”.
“Nice!” I thought. “I always like movies set in cultures that are very foreign to mine.”
As the movie went on, I was increasingly confused, as those Greeks, or Turks, seemed very similar to US Americans, and the setting appeared to be the USA. (It was dubbed in French, so I couldn’t tell from the language)
I soon figured that it must be a location in the USA named after an Old World location.
New England has two types of place names. Old English colonial names and Native ones. Like a river called Woonasquatucket from the very same state you mentioned, Rhode Island.
Might be a solicitation for bribes from Congress. He’s made his message clear that he wants more money and Congress certainly has the power to grant that. I don’t think it would stop him from screwing over minorities tho.
Congress can help by impeaching him and removing him from office, then he can take his RV cross-country on a speaking tour talking about how unfair it all is and he can rake in the dough without having to report any of it
Could be the other justices so that the preserve their own power. Or it could be that some journalist had done their homework and this was a way to get out in front of it. There’s many self-serving reasons outside of (direct) money for why this would happen.
Even if he calls a factory-wide meeting, he’s not going to get as many people laughing at his “humor” and telling him what a genius he is compared to Twitter.
And that’s all he really cares about.
So yeah, he’s very motivated to seek out attention from sycophants.
He put up Tesla stock to finance Xitter, so I'm guessing these effing ridiculous demands for salary and bonus are his attempt to backtrack out of that debt. He must be hurting behind the scenes. OhNoAnyway.jpg ...
