If everyone lags, there’s no lag.

Would be a shame if he or his family somehow ended up in that database…

How do you resign from a position you never actually had?

Looks like I forgot the obligatory /s…

He’ll just go to war with someone random (Venezuela?) and cancel all future elections. And then say Zelenskyy did it first.

Didn’t they bother to get any Democrat statements?

He’s an Accelerationist. He wants this to happen.

People would stop reading at “Peter Thiel says”, “Elon Musk says”, “Donald Trump says”, there’s a better chance of a click if they do it this way.

Some bullies mentally never lose the high school mindset. Some of them join Forces, others elect those just like them to be president.

It’s not their water, so they don’t care. When it finally runs out, they’ll just go somewhere else.

Christian evangelists at the root of it all. 'nuff said.

If you listen to the lyrics of Born in the USA (or Glory Days for that matter), they don’t actually say good things about America. The first describes someone returning from the Vietnam war, and comes back to a dead end existence. The second is about people who peaked in high school. Tho apt in both cases, I don’t think that’s the message they would want to be putting out there, even if Springsteen allowed them to be used as MAGA anthems.

They are perfect MAGA anthems tho 😉

Yep. They’ll demand loyalty from you, but not return it. The second a new CEO arrives, they’ll want to show improvements on the bottom line. Fastest way to “save” money is to sack some people.

Unless you’re in sales, you are a line item in a cost centre. Your salary is a dollar value they can save if they get rid of you.

HR exists to protect the org, not the individual people in it.

If you’re looking for loyalty, get a dog.

Or, “maybe if I shoot myself in the other foot, it’ll be better this time”

This is all going to plan. More sick people * more demand = more $$$ for big pharma.

Decoy?

I wonder what they would be saying if they’d been allowed to weaken encryption and back-door the fuck out of everything before the Salt Typhoon folks got involved.

Bold to assume it’s just 4 years before voters get another shot at unfucking all of this? 😉

… and if not in the second term, we’ll change the term limits to enable us to best follow this up.

Yet. Give them time, they’ll need to figure out where it can be best integrated into Project 2025.
