It's less than .05% of his worth. It's like us dropping pocket change in the Red Cross bucket and he'll make more than that in profit from changes the bribe paid for from the great cheetoh.

I appreciate the warning as it readily admits the majority of the content is boring enough to make you want to scroll away.

Lemmy is too small to be a worthwhile target for musk-like campaigns. It's usually just people escaping their echo chambers to get their rage fix. If you're able to think for yourself, there's really no negative impact and scrolling past is a great solution.

There doesn't seem to be any actual record of this being tweeted.

I'd say that's on you, there's more places to not be found than there are discoverable locations on the earth. Proper planning prevents poor performance and all that.

Anyone can already euthanize themselves. We're all just a helium or nitrogen tank and trash bags away from our exit stage right.

I don't think the meme makes sense. The ml users don't seem to care how much other content is out there. They still participate as much as they'd like.

What an absurdly sycophantic graph.

I never knew B&T to say that phrase. Their faves were always "Party on, dudes" and the like.

I'm pretty sure Wayne's World skit on SNL in the mid 80's is where the phrase was born.

Ah, a change.org petition . I eagerly await the sweeping improvements to life abroad.

Having such a an ego that they think trumpians care about their or anyone's judgement or opinion.

It costs me nothing to scroll past. Let everyone think it makes a difference, in a few months, we'll settle back into our comfortable dystopia and we'll go back to arguing over other stuff.

We had to put him to sleep today due to cancer. He had quit eating and drinking so we had a vet come to the house to provide the service. He's resting in the back by the woods now. I'm really going to miss him.

 

 

This has always interested me, on an explorer's level, the ruins of the plants have always really stuck in my mind. Growing up, it was always spoken of in the context of "US automakers couldn't keep up with changing trends and they just lost it all" but that's not true at all. Almost all of the companies involved with these types of abandonments are doing great, in fact, better than ever. When things really did get dire for US automakers during the recession around 2009, the goverment simply bailed them out with tax dollars.

An excerpt from the video: "It's the excess of Capitalism. In some ways, people thought this was the failure of Capitalism but we could also see it as the success of Capitalism. The automobile industries got away like bandits. They got out of there, they took the money and left. They left the mess, they left a working class and a deteriorating environment for someone else to clean up."

As an older person now, I wonder how many more of these export moves can occur in industries before the people expected to buy the imported product can no longer afford to.
