No 4d chess needed, this is their best.

It sounds like you dodged a bullet or they weren’t serious about hiring. I’d likely respond that “wouldn’t it be more suspicious to have an account with almost no activity?”

Why should they go down with the ship?

Put your energy here.

You’re trying to understand the logic behind motivated reasoning. They knew the conclusion they wanted, so they constructed a fig leaf of an argument that 1/3 of people would cheer, 1/3 would defer to the tortured logic by habit of deference to authority, and 1/3 would protest while being alienated from the whole.

I read this with the subtext that Ronald Reagan worked as governor of California to pass gun control after Black Panthers were exercising their right to bear arms.

Underrated comment, ty

Perhaps we should consider this modest proposal, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal

I’m kinda wondering where these insurance or healthcare companies are at. This is literally taking billions out of their pocket as people will just go without healthcare and/or die.

I guess they’re looking out for their personal tax rate instead of caring about their business or who they serve. Foolish for be to be surprised, but it just seems so short sighted.

They wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t ask.

I watched it on the CPAC stream, it’s a Nazi salute.

Just to mention, so people don’t think this damage will be reversed in 4 years. They’ll likely sell the rights to the data for a pittance after getting their own cut. The buyer will have a franchise to markup the data for 50 years.

Won the plurality, but yes.

Well timed announcement, are they buying themselves goodwill with the public if the mean old union tries to strike?

I agree with your sentiments.

People have come to believe, from high-minded centrists, that the best way to resist is to step out of the way. Nonsense.

For any regular person looking to gum up the works, there’s even a field manual printed by the pros.

I didn’t think he intended to get away with it.

Obviously it didn’t flag him in advance, so respectfully, tell me again how effective modern spycraft is.

If it makes you feel better, the CAFOs are putting most of them out of business.

It just presents data without going into detail. You’re making unsupported assumptions.

If that were true, we wouldn’t need to guess. We could just look at the data showing that new plants provide cheaper electricity.

It’s not common for people to itemize any longer after Trump’s tax updates a few years ago

The word from NCD, is that Zelensky wasn’t bluffing about the nukes. He doesn’t think Putin can radiologicaly retaliate after his generals looted the maintenance budget.

Israel has been taking part in a technology transfer. Any escalation in Eastern Europe takes eyes away from what’s going on in the Levant.

Iodine pills all around!
