TetraVega , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

Fuck that, they only say that because more people = more profit

Hello_there , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

I can say stupid shit too. Can I get on yahoo finance?

BigMacHole , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

And then they could put those Mozarts to work in their slave shacks while complaining about the lack of Mozarts!

Slotos , in Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

We already have thousands of Mozarts rotting in poverty. The fact that these two cunts don’t get it is an evidence for them being entitled, racist, pieces of shit.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I’ve seen these arguments gaining prominence on the last few years. I don’t think they care about Mozarts or Einsteins though. If they did, they would use their money and push for policies that would improve the conditions people live in, so all the would-be Mozarts would have a chance to actually becoming one. I think they’re worried global capitalism will collapse if population growth slows too much; which is probably true.

I also wonder if these people are funding all the anti-abortion and anti-contraceptive campaigns around the world… After a quick Google search, I see it’s definitely been on Musk’s mind: businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tucker-carlson-sex-…

autotldr Bot , in Lloyd Austin was treated for prostate cancer before health emergency, Pentagon says | WaPo

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had surgery last month after a prostate cancer diagnosis, officials disclosed Tuesday, detailing for the first time what condition led to medical complications and a lengthy hospitalization that he kept secret from the White House, Congress and the American public for several days.

He was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, and additional evaluation determined abdominal fluids had impaired the function of his small intestines, prompting doctors to drain his stomach with a tube through his nose, the statement says.

An uproar ensued, beginning this past weekend, when it was learned the Defense Department failed to notify President Biden and the White House that Austin was in the hospital.

Critics, including political allies, have chastised the administration for its secrecy, with many noting the calamity that could have occurred with the United States actively, if indirectly, involved in two wars and the recent rise in attacks on U.S. forces deployed in the Middle East.

White House officials have stated repeatedly in recent days that Austin’s job is not in jeopardy despite his failure to disclose a his illness — even in a personal conversation with the president over the weekend.

Parallel reviews launched by the White House and the Pentagon — into the delegation of authority across Cabinet agencies and the handling of Austin’s hospitalization, respectively — raised the possibility that officials may choose not to disclose additional details about the recent events while those investigations unfold.

autotldr Bot , in Mike 'Holmes Approved Homes' demolished due to alleged defects

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As CBC News previously reported, Tarion filed an $8 million lawsuit in 2021 against parties involved in the project, alleging 14 TerraceWood houses were built with defects.

In its lawsuit, Tarion alleges the 14 TerraceWood houses were built with flaws such as improperly installed roofs, water leakage and major structural issues that raise “serious safety concerns.”

In its statement of defence, The Holmes Group claimed it “made no representations” to anyone regarding the development, wasn’t hired by any homeowners to do inspections and, in fact, “had no involvement whatsoever” with the project.

CBC News showed documents detailing Holmes and his companies’ dealings in TerraceWood to realtor and real estate law expert Varun Sriskanda, who was not involved in the development.

Tourgis said in an email no homeowner opted to buy an upgrade inspection package offered by The Holmes Group, so it “had absolutely no access to any of the residences in the project, from their design, to their installation and construction.”

Based on “expert engineering advice,” some of the homes which Tarion condemned “were more than capable of being repaired,” said Matt Smith, the municipality’s interim CAO,in an email.

Delphia , in The Enhanced Games: Peter Thiel backs drug-fuelled Olympics-style competition

PEDs could literally change peoples lives if doctors were allowed to prescribe and manage their use. Im on some shit that would turn up on a test if I were an olympic athlete, simply because I got tired of trying to keep my middle-aged ass in shape and continually catching minor injuries that fucked up my training. The fact is, some of these drugs/compounds are banned because they WORK.

autotldr Bot , in Customs and Border Protection's top doctor tried to order fentanyl lollipops for helicopter trip to U.N

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The chief medical officer for the Customs and Border Protection agency repeatedly asked staff members to order fentanyl lollipops for him to take on a helicopter mission to the United Nations in New York City in Sept. 2023, according to a whistleblower report by the Government Accountability Project.

Over half a dozen CBP employees were involved in the “urgent” requests to purchase the fentanyl lollipops, the whistleblowers said, with senior leadership in the office reporting concerns about the process in emails.

According to the whistleblower complaint, Eastman “created a hostile and chilled work environment” through attempts to “flout law and policy,” and with his disparagement of other senior leaders and abusive treatment of other staff.

Alvarez, who suffered from sickle cell anemia and heart disease, died after detention facility staff dismissed or downplayed her complaints of pain and declined to take her to the hospital multiple times.

The CBP spokesperson stated Friday that the Department of Homeland Security launched a review of the OCMO following Alvarez’s death “to address the critical failures that led to this deeply upsetting and unacceptable tragedy.

This review quickly identified serious concerns within OCMO, including mismanagement, and an insufficient focus on delivering consistent and quality medical care.”

I think he didn’t like flying and was hoping to numb himself into not panicking.

Then why in the world would he not just say so and just drive or walk to the train between DC and New York? He’s a government official, but not really one notable enough to need a security escort to go to the grocery store.

@Tristaniopsis my first thought was that he wanted to give them to children.

I'm glad it turns out fentanyl lollipops for adults are actually a thing.

Nobody is giving drugs to children, they’re expensive.

@deur I like how you think and I want to be more like you.

Not being sarcastic, btw.
