  1. Older white women nicer SUVs certainly love to speed in my neighborhood past the kids playing.
  2. TV, radio and targeted social media are very powerful at influencing and manipulating behavior. Only strict laws against content manipulation, spin, and dishonesty will help combat this.
  3. The part about ICE is worth checking out.
  4. $40K bonus for ICE Agents.
  5. Nothing fucking weak about The Last of the Mohicans.
  6. And when looking at the other economies out there our rebound was above and our rates of inflation were below that of other nations. The Russian economy which the right loves to ignore, while simultaneously obsessing over their leadership, had people buying electronics because a used TV held its value more effectively than did their currency.
  7. Between this and the Payroll Protection Plan, we found a lot of waste fraud and abuse.
  8. Why did those things happen? Did Biden and the Fed attempt to mitigate it? How? What was the outcome? How has Trump behaved to mitigate higher prices and interest rates? How have the economic proxies behaved under Biden and under Trump? And Why?
  9. Um, he wished that on people with his support.
  10. Hypocrisy means nothing to republicans and to republican voters. Never has.
  11. Delete
  12. Just because some dipshit said $8 million doesn’t make is real. See Nico.
  13. Bullshit. Sinta will break your heart or get stabby without remorse. The old guy suffers because he has to become what he doesn't want to succeed, and he is working to build up others around him. He is not evil, hates the empire and he hates himself. Nah, they were in-conflict from the outset. It just came to a head there as the stress of a lack of leadership, starvation, monsters, and inability to escape presented themselves.
  14. So much dignity and respect for the United States.
  15. Predicting people will fail in the NFL is like predicting people will not win the lottery and then trying to validate oneself because one knew those numbers were wrong.
  16. Time to get Owens some game reps! This guy didn't cut it! (if this isn't obvious, I am being ridiculous)
  17. So is it time to shit on Arch yet?
  18. That is a guy I fully will appreciate and accept health information from.
  19. Tell that to the people laid off, the dead from airplane crashes, those paying more sales tax, those who get sick in the future due to disease spread, poor food, and environmental pollution. And the poorly educated and our research that was just tossed into the shitter, and the people deported without due process and 2 yr olds forced to once again understand court proceedings. But hey.... some segments haven't been completely corrupted. Yet.
  20. Elon is exactly what the problem is. If you look back on the company you can see a clearly defined strategy that the actual founder came up with and how it was effective and guided the organization to developing its first few models. Then look at the second series of goals and see how pie in the sky they are, and how the company never achieved those goals. They just moved on to more pie in the sky goals for the next strategy. That indicates an organizational dysfunction at the top. Sure they took advantage of some tax codes and hype to enter a bubble state, but that was unsustainable. Heck, Elon had a good idea to bring in a guy to revamp their manufacturing and because he did such a good job, Elon fired him because his ego couldn't handle it. If you want an even bigger example of Elon's ego, look at the 2006 company reports which Elon has backdated to place himself as CEO and Founder, when he never joined the firm until 2 years later. This is indicative of a person who is desperate for all credit, even undue credit. The cars were fine overall, the first mover advantage was there, but this is how industries always go. Competitors move into the space and they chip away. Often the leader of the space doesn't innovate at the same pace, and they lose out. Consider how many people Skype using Zoom. Blackberry was called the crackberry because of the addiction of their users to texting and emailing. They also disappeared as competitors blew past them. Tesla is on the same trajectory. Their techbro creed -break shit and move fast, is horrible for a culture making actual things that need to be safe and thoughtfully built.
  21. I think you underestimate our commitment to corporate welfare.
