Replacing worthless people with worthless software that boils the oceans. It's not exactly progress, more of a lateral move on the stupidity track of humanity.

He's a billionaire, he'd have a place on Elysium or The Aerium, if such places existed.

Go for the low hanging fruit, a position that is easy to automate and consumes the largest paycheck: MBA

The US solved this problem 150 years ago. First with the observation that immigrants acculturate. Second with the acceptance that elements of their culture are going to get melded in to form a new culture. Culture is never static, anyway, it always drifts and morphs. Immigration just changes it a bit faster. But it's good! This ongoing immigrant-driven culture change is what made the US a superpower. Embrace it.

Indeed is USED to work this way....and if so, sure, cool.

The trouble is...it no longer works that way, there is no more 'melting pot'.

For various reasons, one being we've let WAY too many in at once....they do not come here to become Americans and assimilate, they are here to take over and make a Mini-whatever country they came from .

They segregate, they do NOT learn the language and in Muslim cases, they try to change our laws to fit their religion.

In the old days, you didn't see protests with migrants waving flags of their home land, but instead were waving the US flag....

So, no that old way isn't working....and if we don't stop the influx....we risk losing our country even more than we risk losing it right now.

Doing that in the Commonwealth of Virginia is just going to get you a bigger fine. Radar detectors are illegal (or at least used to be the last time I drove there).

Glad most of the US doesn't suck like the Commonwealth of Virginia.....where we are free to know when we are being observed and electronically surveyed by the police.

Fortunately in the UK we have average speed checks over long distances so arseholes find a hole in their bank account and maybe points on their driving license too.

Ah....well, while it is getting bad here in the US, at least we're not the dystopian hell the UK is at this point....

Switch your pension funds, if you can, from NASDAQ to S&P.

... by getting angry at a person for not knowing a definition of a word that you have to use Urban Dictionary as a reference for.

It'd be fun to be that rich,

The funny thing is that he seems to constantly be miserable, at least when he's raging online inside the anger-echo chamber he built for himself.

I think wealth taxes are fundamentally a distraction from the giant loopholes in current systems, and even if you oppose wealth taxes, you should still fix said loopholes.

First off, people like Musk just take loans against their stock. This is not a realizing event, so they get to enjoy their gains without paying taxes on them. Using stock as collateral in any way should be a realizing event. If you're doing something that lets you enjoy the gains, you should be forced to realize the gains and pay taxes on them.

Secondly, capital gains are just income. They don't deserve a special lower rate. They should be taxed the same as other income, at normal income rates.

It's fair to argue about whether we should be doing more on top of these things, but can we at least agree that we should be doing these things, and make this the standard globally?

Governments are supposed to correct market failures. When a technology has a trajectory to be an eventual winner but faces short-term obstacles that the market isn't handling, that's an appropriate time for government to step in.

/me thumbs through his copy of the US Constitution looking for this amongst the limited, enumerated responsibilities of the Federal Govt.....

I need to get my readers, I'm just NOT seeing it....

I just turn on the radar detector and don't bother looking at the speedometer anymore....and just drive....fast.

If 30 seems safe to him, who should argue?

Then he needs to get the fuck OFF the highway and drive regular roads with lower speed limits....until he can earn his "big boy pants" and learn to drive at highway speeds with the adults.

If you can't hack it, then you don't belong there impeding other people with the proper driving skills.

Maybe they're trying to compensate a little for all the fentanyl they've been flooding the US and rest of the western world with...?

And now....time for another thrilling episode of:

TEMU Hospital....

Today on Temu Hospital we see Dr. Nick.......
