So far, you're right. But, why change the subject to NYC? Probably because you know the same can't be said for the state in question. California HAS had a mass ex-migration wealthy business leaders and owners over the past few years.

They don't know how to do Facebook very well either: it's been pretty much stagnant and enshittified to death for the past 22 years, and it feels like a forum for greying people whose greying friends haven't bothered to move on either, or to get the date of the next annual meeting of the bridge club.

No.

one of those companies whose sole purpose seems to be annoying you by slapping their name as a watermark on a generic image you'd like to use in a meme, and force to spend 10 seconds finding somewhere else because you were never going to pay a stupid company to remove their mark on a bad picture you can find everywhere.

I wonder how those companies still exist, let alone make any money.

Anyway, the modern way to use copyrighted photos for free is to ask stable diffusion to regenerate it, because the AI companies have done all the data stealing for you and repackaged the stolen data into "models" you can use for free.

...divorced from the grinding reality of regular folks.

What's the grinding reality of regular folks? I worked two jobs for years to put myself through college, got a job as an electrical engineer / firmware engineer (I've moved around a lot, working for some stable and some startup companies). I own a house and two cars, and work ~8 hours a day. Am I regular folk? Is my reality "grinding"?

I was able to buy a few shares of SPCX in the IPO, just for the hell of it. Now, as business builds, and Elon gets ever richer, so will I (a little). And, this is despite the fact that, YES, I AM regular folk.

Extending his wealth increases what he is capable of

YES

and deprives the rest of us the opportunity to do likewise.

NO, that's retarded.

Hmm. Especially in light of that, I think my comment still stands. :)

And you think you're going to be a tech journalist? Yeah, I guess that tracks.

Call me when it works with all phone apps and all SMS apps and all contacts apps.

I will, but will you take the call?

Hence the third sentence in my post.

They hate government meddling when they don't control government. Just like they hate government spending when they don't get to choose where the money is spent.

Correct on both counts. This is known as the concept of Government by the people. Obviously, it's a concept lost in today's world, but it's a worthy principle to work back toward.

What's a good portmanteau of gigolo and mosquito? Gigolito? I like Mosquigolo.

It sounds like assumptions are being made about the cause. Gut bacteria have been shown to have a direct influence on mental health. How do they know this affect isn't something akin to that?

It means "you CAN eat a huge variety of things."

Or, you should eat a variety of things, rather. Right?

But, you do own one.
