He controls SpaceX and the internet over Ukraine.
We need to take those, too.
It's this. When boards and non-tech savvy managers start making decisions based on a slick slide deck and a few visuals, enough will bite that people will be laid off. It's already happening.
There may be a reckoning after, but wall street likes it when you cut too deep and then bounce back to the "right" (lower) headcount. Even if you've broken the company and they just don't see the glide path.
It's gonna happen. I hope it's rare. I'd argue it's already happening, but I doubt enough people see it underpinning recent lay offs (yet).
If I was on the jury, I'd nullify.
Shapiro has an extended history of being quite sympathetic to Israel to the point of problematic statements and treating anti-genocide protest as something it's not.
Walz has none of that baggage and seems to care about people. He's a far better (from what I know) person to be one heartbeat away from the presidency.
He should campaign well and I expect him to keep hitting Trump. Vance will self-own without too much assistance. Punching up will be a great look.
If Walz is her pick, I'm giddy.
I'm fairly far left and I want human rights for all. I don't understand why the party of small government needs to know my internet habits, what happens behind closed doors, what books are read, or why specific medical care (gender affirning or reproductive) is sought.
We're people. The republican nanny state can fuck right off.
That said, I'd like a better safety net. The nation has the money for it if we had a rational tax code. This combination on the ticket gives me hope that all the above are priorities.
I do NOT want Shapiro except as a calculated play for Pennsylvania. I have 0 interest in a war to defend Israel's right to be 1940s Germany.
I'd really like to be out of the "provide military support" role for a renegade and genocidal government.
He's taking the territory early.
Others will be less willing to develop if they must compete with a loss-tolerant Meta with years (and billions of dollars) already invested.
I want VR and much of what he's got people working on. I just don't want it from them. Or Google. Or most tech bigs.
The video title is "Depressed" not "Depressing."
He based that on the suicide rate. It's hard to have a metric for happiness/depression, but that's a credible one.
The article took liberties with the message.
He spoke directly with many people across South Korea. Interview style and not coming at it with a load of certanties.
By the second sentence he said, "South Korea."
I don't know why so many people here have to imagine a slight and then react against it.
Democracy is a fist fight. I've grown tired watching Democrats spend their time wringing hands and clutching pearls.
THIS? This is good stuff. Get in the fray, fight for what's right, for us, for results. I'm enjoying this.
jumps over the lazy dog.
Otherwise there's no "s."
It tells a short story that's visual and full of words people know how to spell.
It's this part.
We're telling them they've gone too far, seeing rules... and giving them weapons. Are we giving them seasons so they listen?
And if they don't listen, doesn't this make us complicit and with exceedingly poor intensional optics?
All the self righteousness of lemmy is strange.
There's not just better opinions, even small decisions are morally imbued and if someone steps out of line...
Wait, does using sync cause hurricanes? Earthquakes? Will the four big ponies of the lempocalypse arrive and snort angrily?
Otherwise, I get that a surge of people elated they have something you don't/can't have is off putting. FOMO is real.
But it doesn't need all the meme-shade.
Eventually they end up homeless and then they can be arrested?
I mean, it's not a problem until it's my problem, and then it's an urgent one. Am I doing this right?
If only there was a way to Know the crisis is here...
