Government bureaucrat (Elon) owns a massive, private Social Media company. He has power to fire basically anyone, seemingly. Exclusivity agreements with private companies have NO FUCKING PLACE in public governments. If the owner of said platform is actually part of the government, it's pure corruption.

Elon: divest from your private assets or get the fuck out of the government. Otherwise you're a corrupt official.

> Otherwise you're a corrupt official.

Seems like he fits in real well where he’s at.

In business, we usually don't disrupt systems that work and that have a large user base. So therefore, this is unprofessional and they are not listening to their user base. I can only expect disaster, unless they are stopped.

Sure, but the industries of the future arguably are. At least for now.

It's not like money isn't being made in the US today.

Regulations kill any and all profit on physical goods made in the US. It was more important to lift China out of poverty (Communism), kill a whole class worth of jobs and enact regulations to stifle any innovation because it’s okay if China pollutes, just not the US. It’s okay to buy goods from mega polluter China shipped on boats running on crude oil, instead of supporting Americans and American companies.

S2000's are great. The only thing I hear about them is they leak or burn oil, and once that's handled... good times.

vuln · 6 months ago

That’s mostly the AP1 with the 9,0000 rpm rev limit.

Wanna know how I _handle_ it? I check the oil before I drive it and top it up. Perhaps I could swap retainers and banjo bolts but I’m lazy and checking the oil is easy. I pop the hood when I pull into my garage to remind me to check the oil before racing off.

At least here in Germany, half of sale proceedings of state-licensed lotteries go into social causes (our open source ecology germany e.v. managed to get several projects funded through this). Also, they are obliged to check each player against a black list of gambling addicts, which unlicensed online gambling venues probably don't give a toss about.

Yeah the US States claim that the money goes to Education yet somehow ends up in the general slush fund in most cases.

What are you referencing to know if its a winner? You just bring them in and ask to scan?

vuln · 6 months ago

In the US most places have a little reader thing that scans the barcode and tells you how much you’ve won. This helps cut down on the time it takes the cashier to scan each one. You know instantly if you’re a winner, no need to look at symbols.

For a visual version of the above. Go check out Mr Beast’s video where they scratch off 1,000,000 dollars worth of scratch offs. The ending wasn’t surprising to me but may be to some.

the trick is to spend 30 years stacking the courts with charlatans who value the political project above all else, and to have a congress full of complete losers with no self respect or desire for public service

Dang. I didn’t know MAGA existed 30 years ago. Hell they didn’t even exist 20 years ago. Quite powerful.

Yes yes, let’s take a law meant to shine a light on corruption and rebrand that law as the corruption itself.

What something is “meant” to do and what it actually “does” can be two wildly different things.

Before Uncle Sam gets his cut. Much less after the robbery. How much of the 7 million be sucked up by Germany’s taxes?

Sure. The WaPo says the only evidence for that claim is Trump asserting it. https://archive.is/XK0A7

> Trump has also said — without providing details — that he at some point banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

I am generally not inclined to take the man at his word.

It also notes that, if the breakup happened, it was likely over a piece of real estate.

> I’m generally not included to take the man at his word.

But I’ll listen to a journalist tell me what I want to hear and confirm my bias.

> we have no idea if it really happened but if it did, it wasn’t because he was a pedo, it’s because of a real estate deal.

According to the Washington Post the real estate deal that ended their friendship was in 2004.
