He's going to keep all his wealth and maybe stroll into a high paying "consulting" gig. It's unfair. it's unjust. People who are bad at their jobs and making the world worse do not deserve immense wealth and comfort.

Funnily enough it would probably be better for the majority of shareholders.

"too good to go". Cheap food from places near the end of their business day. Like a whole pizza for $6.

I'm confident that if you waved a magic wand and removed currency, an hour later it would be reinvented via "hey, will you do me this favor? I'll owe you one" -> "You already owe me one. But I guess you'll owe me two? Let me write this down"

Living someplace with usable mass transit is pretty nice.

Gas is too cheap relative to its real costs anyway.

They should sell products users want at prices they're willing to pay. Without abuse, deception, or other malicious acts.

The opportunity cost for AI is pretty high. That's a lot of resources spent on something that's bad for the world, even if it's not specifically the worst for climate change reasons in a first order sense.

Cool. I hope it succeeds.

Republicans are bad people who value personal power and in-group belonging more than anything else like morals or consistency. They are bad people. That's how bad people make decisions.

People acting like “privilege” is some awful phrase is why MAGA types go out of their way to deny their privilege.

That's because maga types are deeply, fundamentally, stupid. They don't think, they feel. When you say to one "You're privileged by being white so you don't get bothered as much by the police" they feel bad, and that's all. That's part of why they can hold contradictory positions without any apparent discomfort. The words are contradictory but the feelings are consistent.

If americans could learn we wouldn't have a 2nd trump presidency. We're on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.

Centralized platforms have obvious and severe problems. Unfortunately, most people don't care.
