Who could each individually sell of any profitable assets, lay-off their employees, and enshittify their operations in search of shareholder value. Excellent plan.

He spent 40B mostly of other people’s money. His liability is like 12B. The more interesting question is why various stodgy bankers gave him the other 28B.

3,878 fuglytruks is the apparently the entire fleet. That is the really big story here. The fuglytruk is a flop. Nobody wants an 80k rust bucket.

I started out in the computer industry working for a company that reverse engineered and built IBM compatible terminal systems, This was more than 40 years ago, when that was its own large and profitable sector of the computer hardware market. It was absolutely legal to build 'plug compatible' reverse engineered third party systems. DRM is almost entirely horseshit that has helped turn the entire tech industry into silo'd enshittified monopolies.

Holy shit I thought this was only about Covid. These absolute idiots are breaking herd immunity for the entire field of virus based diseases.

'cancelled' is now simply "people were mean to me on shitter". Their right to express vile horseshit is obviously intact.

Good. Symbolic protests are a way to surface issues suppressed by the dominant ideology. If it gets any media coverage it is a success.

Approximately 50% of voters will vote for a political party that views any such reform as communism.

Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Mass transit should be free.

We are going to see the Return of Dred Scott as the fascist states go to the fascist supreme court and demand the right to enforce their fascist laws on their residents regardless of where the 'crime' occurred.
