Saw a new take on this from righties:

we’re not actually going to do Project 2025, it’s too radical

It’s very hard for me to square that idea that trump is an existential threat who must be stopped by any means necessary, and the notion that Biden is allowed to do anything legally.

I love the tacit acknowledgement that PC language can be used to make fascist rhetoric palatable

I’m beginning to suspect telling every cop they’re an expert in gun kata and must defend the flock from the wolves when they respond to a disorderly conduct call is not working

Hollywood accounting exists but is not the reason this is happening.

Trump changed the way you can write down a loss in business. The issue is that movies cost at least 50% - 150% additional dollars to distribute and market.

So spending $80m + $40m ~ $120m is seen as a bigger risk when you can simply take a full loss on the $80m immediately by terminating the “useful life” of a project (ie hurling it into the sun never to be seen again), and offset profits you had somewhere else. Like all your reality shows about children having to work in the mines or whatever ghoulish thing Zaslav made money doing.

Nurses come in three political pillars: liberal drunk, anarcho unionist, and conservative conspiracy theorist who makes up new conspiracies when you simply ask how their day was

I’m trans and here so their argument is invalid and I stopped reading

This does not make sense.

The minimum wage went up by $4 (let’s call it $8 with taxes and other shit). Looking at photos it’s a relatively small place so maybe 50 seats MAX? So that’s a front of house and kitchen staff requirement of 8. Let’s call say I’m wrong about the size and they are luxuriously overstaffed and have 20 people working.

That’s still only $160 more an hour. That was the make or break between success and failure?

Bullshit.
