Couldn’t have said it better myself.
What would be nice is if this very illegal offer was actually investigated and prosecuted.
Edit:
After I thought about this for a minute it’s not much different then:
But I guess coming from him everything seems illegal and grifty.
I think stronger language might be called for here. 🤔
I get this reference 🤣
I’m hopeful but I’m just not holding my breath.
That sounds also like a good idea.
Those are all true. I’d just never expect them to do stuff like this is all.
That’s essentially the question getting asked. I don’t live there but honestly I think id always answer no, because I don’t trust politicians at all so no to the rewriting the state constitution.
Remove the cardboard from the frozen pizza BEFORE you put it in the oven.
Check his air pressure. He seems flat.
Who knew brain damage turned you republican….
I kinda thought it was clever.
That would really be 4d chess. I’m not sure they are that smart.
I’m going to propose an alternative theory. I think the real reason is because they are childish, immature trolls and revel in causing other people’s misery. Although these two theories are not mutually exclusive.
I’m just going to early vote. No lines and no post office fuckery.
That “potential” word here is very…. hopeful? Polyannaish? Aspirational? Optimistic? Yeah optimistic is the word I’m looking for here.
Greed is just a motivator. The word can is important here. It can lead to innovation and, sometimes, make the world better. I think that is the exception more than the rule, though. Most of the time, unchecked greed leads to awful behavior that enshittifies and hurts everything it touches. Ford is one example of the nuance. While Ford did not invent the assembly line, it helped refine and scale the moving assembly line into what we now think of as modern mass manufacturing. That let Ford build cars faster and cheaper, which had a huge effect on manufacturing in general.
The higher wages are another complicated part of it. Ford’s famous $5 day came with an eight-hour shift, not longer hours, but it was not just because Ford suddenly cared about workers. The assembly line was miserable, turnover was extremely high, and paying people more was a way to keep enough workers around to make the whole system function. It was good for the workers in some ways, but it was still motivated by making more money. And Ford’s “Sociological Department” was invasive as hell, since the company was looking into workers’ personal lives and deciding who qualified for the full pay.
But no, I am not remotely pro-billionaire. If anything, I am pretty firmly the opposite. I just do not think every situation is completely black and white. Self-interest can occasionally result in something broadly useful, even when the person doing it is not especially good and the system around it is still harmful. That does not make greed good. It just means the outcome and the motive are not always the same thing.
I’m pretty sure that’s illegal but in this day and age I’m not sure that means anything.
Is it better when it’s a bunch of young doctors?
Man don’t scare me like this early in the morning.
Wow. Tech and a dad joke joke.
👏😂
Is this an actual production iPhone Duo?
