And that's a big part of why, despite everything Biden is doing, I am 100% voting for him. Because if Biden wins, there will be a 2028 election where we can hopefully find someone better, and I'm not convinced that there will be under Trump.

Four years of Trump came really close to turning this country into a kakistocratic dictatorship. I really don't want to give him another chance.

I'm not going to say that the rich are just as unhappy as the rest of us, because they'll never know what it is to truly struggle. But take a look at Elon Musk; does he look happy to you? Dude bought and destroyed Twitter because people there wouldn't stop making fun of him, and he still can't stop them. He's driven his daughter out of his life because he can't accept she's trans, which has only made him go even more full on transphobe and bleed over into every other bigoted thought under the sun. He just fucking gutted Tesla, his big pride and joy, because he couldn't stand his "inferiors" talking back to him and trying to stop him from making terrible mistakes. All his victims are undoubtedly struggling more than he is, thanks largely to his capriciousness and evil, but he certainly doesn't look happy to me.

And the funny thing is, he could be absolutely happy if he could let shit go. If I had his money, I wouldn't even bother with all this petty shit; I'd hire people to manage the money, put as much of it into charity work as I could, find some tropical island somewhere, and spend the rest of my life sipping on margaritas and watching sunsets. But he can't help himself. He's incapable of letting go, which stops him from ever being happy.

Sure, but that just goes back to the original point - he's super weirdly obsessed with greed and hate and being a control freak, and will never be happy no matter how much money he has.

Money can't make you happy, but the lack of money can certainly make you unhappy.

What do you think they are? Teslas?

Anyway...

I mean, for me, it means both. I'm a big believer in FDR's concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

Yeah, I feel nothing for these people. They knew he was a snake when they took him in.

I've seen that sticker in person, multiple times.

Also seen a few Teslas that were completely debranded.

There are plenty of non-Tesla electrics on the market now. And they're much better cars to boot. You might look into one of those.

I could see it just being a shitty stereotype he tossed off, if he didn't follow it up with hiring a fucking private investigator to try to dig up dirt on the guy.

He legit tried to ruin that man's life because he told him his idea was not productive.

Firefox is pretty much the last major browser that is not derived from Webkit. If they go, then browsers are a monoculture, and that's a problem.

My Google news feed has apparently decided I want to know more about that absolute fucking ghoul from Blackrock that has declared we're not sacrificing enough of finite time on Eath to capitalism because I read one article about him and choked down the reflexive vomit, and has been giving me more and more articles about him all day.

This is how bubbles are created, I'm sure.

I mean, even in your example, yes it does matter. They're both terrible choices, but the muddy cliff is likely to provide a softer, more survivable landing than the grassy one.

Taylor Swift seems like a far better person than most billionaires, but the existence of billionaires itself is a moral failing, IMHO. I agree with xantoxis, if you're truly doing everything you can to help others, it's impossible to become a billionaire, because you'd never hoard that much resources when they can do so much good for so many others.

Look at someone like Dolly Parton, who would be a billionaire if she didn't give away so much money. She's doing it right.

Of course, Rowling, in addition to being a billionaire, is also a cruel, hateful creature, where Taylor is not AFAIK.

It's called "don't be evil".

There used to be another prominent tech company that has that as their credo. Wonder what happened to them.

The government said it welcomed the "landmark decision", adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the "best interests of the child".

Because nothing says evidence based care based on the best interests of the patient than blanket-banning treatment based on zero evidence whatsoever.
