Do you seriously think that there is no benefit to being born into a wealthier family than a poor one? If so, then you would surely back a 100% inheritance tax since there's no benefit in children inheriting that wealth. Because that, you dipshit, is the root of what "woke" means. It's hilarious that you're continuing to champion a party, and a leader, that are the primary champions of the economic policies that have made the country the "shit hole" that you seem to claim that it has become. Maybe Trump will be able to steal enough wealth from other countries like he's currently doing to Venezuela. But you're an absolute moron if you think a single dollar of that is going to trickle down to you. And you're an absolute moron if you think that this will lead to the US having a single ally in a generation that will be willing to go to bat for you when you inevitably get into a hot war that actually sees attacks on the homeland.

What case? He wasn't being investigated for committing any crime.

So you think pedophilia is completely fine then? So you think hurting Trump's (and your) feelings should be treated more harshly than raping and trafficking children? I don't think you understand what TDS really is. It's not his opponents that are obsessed with him. It's people like you that will bend over backwards to defend him at any cost. Have you not got any actual morals?

And how is he going to cool those data centers in space? Isn't that a major challenge that they haven't really solved? And how do they maintain the hardware? In a datacenter if a node goes down you can have someone fix it or replace it if needed. It's a solution in search of a problem.

There was never a point to what the strawman argument claimed DEI was about.... The right was constantly arguing about something that doesn't exist. DEI as a tool for understanding whether you are actually getting the best candidates absolutely is useful. But privileged people always assume that they are the best candidate and don't understand when they start not getting hired....

"DEI" hires. LOL. So you don't actually know what that means then. Or, you just think certain groups are inferior to you. A rational person would look at their staff and wonder why their demographics are different than the general population. It might even make them wonder if they are actually getting the best candidates if they're wildly different than the general population. That's the point of DEI. Understanding that, "fuck, I'm only hiring left handed cats. Is it because they're legitimately better, or is my hiring biased and potentially costing me better qualified candidates". But then we have dipshits like you who think their judgement is unclouded and clearly never needs to be second guessed.... It makes me wonder about the quality of the output from your automated workers considering you are clearly not a rational thinker.

Except that most employees don't typically get to choose what they work on. Those are set by management. So what is an employee supposed to do if they didn't work on anything that had significant impact on the business? That's not an employee failing, that's a management failing. And for the record - this is usually how the request is framed. It's not "what your 3-5 biggest accomplishements this year". It's usually "what are the 3-5 things that you accomplished that had business impact this year". It's not the employees job to validate the tasks that they've been assigned. You aren't stupid because you've been abused by your company. You're stupid because it really only requires a 2 minutes thought, at most, to actually see what the problem was here.

Yeah, there should be no digital privacy rights. /s

I don't think you know what the word "illegal" means.

So you deny that an F-150 today is significantly larger than one 10 years ago? You deny the objective fact that car manufacturers have chosen to build LARGER trucks because they are exempt from restrictions present on other vehicles? Got it. So you live in a world that is rose tinted where you think this has been entirely consumer driven.... Why then, are these behemoths not widespread outside the US and Canada?

Except for oil and ocal of course. Which continue to receive massive subsidies globally. Not to mention supply side control of oil

Ah, yes, Christians truly are the most persecuted group in the US. They're so horribly treated that many of their holidays are enshrined in law.

"It still wouldn't work though because the best engineers will realize that there's a lot of money to be made and will quit and start their own company." Speaking of things that don't really happen all that often. Most engineers DON'T want to start their own companies. Starting and Running a company involves a lot of non-engineering tasks and skills that most engineers couldn't give a shit about.

? It has literally always been pay-to-play. It has always been about allowing the ultra-wealthy access to cultural and scientific "elites". It has mostly functioned as a branding exercise for its attendees. See, poster child Elon Musk.

Idiotic comment that relies on xenophobic made up nonsense. There's an actual reasonable argument why this proposal won't work: it doesn't stop people from being paid in Cash.
