Railing5132 , in Proud Boys leader predicts Trump will pardon him as he bemoans prison food

HEY MEDIA!

Stop. Giving. These. Fuckwits. Attention!

FlowVoid ,

On the contrary, make an example of what happens to insurrectionists.

Railing5132 ,

Oh, I completely agree on that point. But let them fade into the dark where cockroaches belong and stop giving them free advertising for their gofundme accounts!

Rusticus , in Texas drunk drivers will now have to pay child support if they kill a parent, guardian

How about just make financial penalties for traffic violation/vehicular homicide be based upon salary/net worth like Europe?

MalachaiConstant ,

This is where it needs to start.

what_is_a_name ,

See that is the opposite of the goal here. This will be a whip on poor people. Making the fine tied to your income would punish the people writing this bill they cannot have that !

Bourff ,

Some europeean countries do that, but it’s a minority.

fiat_lux , in “X” Didn’t Pay Severance. Now It’s Facing 2,200 Cases—and Big Fees

Elon Musk’s alleged penchant for not paying bills is catching up with him.

Citation required. It's not having any effect on him personally, the businesses are the ones which are affected. And when you're not depending on your businesses to eat and live, there are zero consequences.

They're all his shitty decisions, but as usual, he doesn't pay for it. The profits are privatised while the losses are socialised. And I'm pretty sick of the media counting eggs before they hatch, because they usually don't hatch at all.

Chozo ,
fiat_lux ,

Yes, the business he bought (with not only his money) has been sued and evicted. The only time Musk has personally ever been on the hook was when he tried to wriggle out of buying said business, and the business sued him personally. Otherwise, he can walk away consequence-free from everything else.

Chozo ,

Yes, the business he bought (with not only his money)

That's literally part of the problem. He hadn't paid interest on the loan he took out to buy Twitter.

But also, he was CEO when these things all happened. He is the one who made the decisions not to make payments toward rent on two of his offices, toward his loan, or toward his consulting firm. I'm not sure what sort of mental gymnastics you're doing to say that he isn't responsible for these things. Twitter wasn't having those problems pre-Musk, and is only having these problems as a direct result of Musk's decision-making. That's kinda part of what being a CEO entails.

Not sure why one would ask for citations and then dismiss them.

Armok_the_bunny ,

They aren’t saying he pays his bills, they’re saying there are effectively no consequences for him personally every time he does it. He’s not the one footing the bill for these Xitter lawsuits, it’s his company.

Chozo , (edited )

Yes, but he's also the sole owner of the company. They went private after the acquisition, so there are no more shareholders. It's his company now, so he is the one directly responsible for it at this point.

If you're the sole owner of a taco truck and you crash into an orphanage with it, you are responsible, not the LLC you registered.

merridew ,

LLC literally means Limited Liability Company.

The owners of the LLC are protected from some or all liability for acts and debts of the LLC, depending on state shield laws.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

When it comes into crashing into an orphanage, that’s definitely some and not all.

kbotc ,

He privately owns Twitter, so he can do whatever he wants with it.

The issue is that he took out billions of dollars in Tesla stock loans to cover the Twitter sale, so if Twitter fails and the people that gave him cash ask for the cash back: he has to hand over his collateral, which is largely his controlling stake in Tesla.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

I think they meant citation required for the “is catching up with him” part.

kitonthenet ,

If I lit your house on fire you wouldn’t spend much time arguing that it doesn’t hurt you directly, just your personal property

fiat_lux ,

That would be a key difference between personal property and private property. Not that I own my own house.

Even if Musk was at personal risk of losing the entire amount of money Twitter cost, which he isn't, it would have no effect on his ability to live or conduct business.

FlowVoid ,

He is paying for it, because he spent tens of billions on something that is now worth much less. Maybe he doesn’t care, but he is still paying for it.

J12 , in Neo-Nazi groups spew hate outside Disney World and near Orlando, officials say

Who’s funding these guys and why?

Corporations are funding “conservatism”, so corporations are funding fascism… Both foreign and domestic, nationally and globally!

Eh. Jerk very much proved he was not the sharpest tool in the shed over the past decade or so and likely killed more than a few people between COVID and the rest.

jasondj , in One of Louisiana’s only pediatric cardiologists has left the state over anti-LGBTQ legislation

Jesus Christ. They’re the new black people. Except the old black people still face discrimination, and Italians, Irish, and Asians all got allowed into the “white” club.

TheBat ,
@TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

Asians all got allowed into the “white” club.

Maybe it’s just me but I really wouldn’t say something enormously wrong on the internet.

jasondj ,

They may not be fully in the club, but they are still way ahead of Indians, Indigenous Americans, Middle-Easterners, Hispanics, and Blacks.

Hispanics

Blacks

Hmm🤨

Hazdaz , in Proud Boys leader predicts Trump will pardon him as he bemoans prison food

If there weren’t a million reasons to not vote for Trump already, keeping this POS behind bars is just one more to add to the pile.

CCatMan , in For 30 years, a memorial to Nazi collaborators sat largely unnoticed just outside Philadelphia. Now it’s drawing outrage.

This article was a nice hiatory leaaon on something I didn’t know about. While a monument to honor these people should be removed, i think it is important to have something educational come out of this.

bobman ,

The lesson that should be learned is monuments aren’t sacred just because they’re monuments.

Wtaf? I can’t believe this is allowed to happen. The videos that were in the article showed just how tough and brave these cowards are. The leaders are the only ones actually showing their faces. The rest? Hiding behind ski masks. Fuck them. Ignorant racist pigs… start a fire then do me a favor and fall in

That wouldn't be very 🦅Conservative®🦅 of me.

GiddyGap ,

These people are literally the Republican Party base.

It would suit evangelicals to get out of bed with the Republican Party and start spreading the true gospel of spiritual hope and love and ditch the political gospel of hate.

Maeve ,

Couldn’t possibly be because it’s actually true!

echodot ,

No only Nazis are Nazis, and these Nazis are Nazis.

They’re literally wearing swastikas. So you have no actual arguement. You’re complaining that the people who wear Nazi paraphernalia are being called Nazis.

TruelyAConservative ,
@TruelyAConservative@kbin.social avatar

So wearing "paraphernalia" makes somebody a Nazi now?

You don't know what's in this person's heart.

echodot ,

Yeah.

Is someone tells you who they are, believe them.
