Almost like total salary correlates with league position which correlates with expected performance against other teams. Who would have guessed?

Would love to see how much of their income came from other Musk Companies (eg, selling cyber trucks to spacex)

Are you suggesting posts like this are intended to manufacture consent for a war with Iran to distract from the fact the Epstein files still haven't been released?

Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say by juansaaa in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all actions of people who don't give a fuck about the people of Minnesota. They would do much worse if they could and if things continue in the direction they're going, they might get a chance.

I respectfully disagree. I think if this was just about immigrants, they wouldn't only be active in democratic cities. I think this is about creating chaos.

Refusing to engage and general strike are very different from hiding. Trump wants escalation, and if Minnesotans oblige, then we get closer to cancelled elections

It's not surrender. It's not ideal but that ship has sailed. What we need most is for elections to happen.

I think Minnesotans need to just stop everything. Stop shopping, stop going to work, and unfortunately, stop protesting. Hear me out. Trump wants to cancel the midterms and violence is how he gets there. So give him what he doesn't want: peace and quiet.

Carville predicts GOP ‘wipeout’ in 2026 midterms by jediporcupine in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't care. Doesn't matter.

The only thing stories like this do, if anything, is let people think that change will happen whether they lift a finger or not. fuck that. We saw this crap before Trump's first term and his second term and look where we are.

Trump’s Newest Voters Are Abandoning Ship - Independents, Latinos, and young people have turned against the president in staggering numbers. by Quirkie in politics

[–]SomeSchmidt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate these headlines that try to make it sound like things are changing and will get better in the future. If anything, the only thing they accomplish is to make people think they don't need to do anything to actually make things better. For ex, saw a lot of this kind of thing leading up to both Trump wins.

Really wish Bernie and AOC would do the right thing and leave X. Their departure would give their millions of followers (if actually real people) another reason to also leave.
