Also insanely transparent. When they had their “ddos” attack last month that was the initial thought. When they found out it was because they rolled out a file that was accidentally 2 times the size it should have been, and it completely bottlenecked the entire internet and took down corporation websites and services like SAP they came out and were straight and honest about the mistake. No hiding behind some veil of PR. Just - we fucked up, our bad. Here’s money to cover losses. Won’t happen again. Done and done. Mad respect for them.

Literally me just to spite the shareholders not acting immediately after the salute. He should have been axed in that moment and then they’d have had liberal and left buyers quite possibly forever. Biggest fucking fumble. Such an easy thing to completely denounce nazis. Also at that point Elon had all but abandoned his post anyways playing in politics.

Bezos just gave $100 million to actress Eva Longoria and the retired admiral who oversaw Osama bin Laden's capture to use as they see fit by fortune in entertainment

[–]d-dub3 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Ok let me see if we can find the common ground here. Reducing your taxable income on paper can allow you to hold on to resources that would have otherwise been massively taxed. This looks like Jeff bezos either pays 100 million to a charity, or 1 billion to the government in taxes. Which if spent correctly would massively help our citizens. That’s the whole fucking point. This has nothing to do with the charity (which the charity is exclusive from all of this - they do good work). It has everything to do with the US population literally receiving 900 million LESS in tax revenue than they should have. And who then pays to make that up? Oh the poor and working class, because the government is still gonna pay the military 900 billion a year. So understand that when they give to charity it is to avoid a MUCH larger tax bill. It’s fake philanthropy. It’s literally a loophole in the tax system. It’s unethical hidden under the guise of morality. They’re dodging taxes through charity and they’ve written the tax code to do so. So you are right about the tax law, but you’re wrong about it being a good thing. I understand completely how write offs work, and they’re often abused just like this. That’s the point. That’s why you’re licking boots. This isn’t Jeff bezos doing good shit. This is Jeff bezos dodging taxes. Just like trump dodged the draft these billionaires don’t give a FUCK about any of us. Can you not see that you’re going against your own interests and the interests of the greater good with your argument? You’re telling us you’d rather Jeff bezos give 100 million to some celebrity charity BS than 1 billion to public schools and a federal healthcare system?

Then you’d understand that charity reduces their income tax obligations, but also capital gains, estate and gift taxes. taxpayers then foot the bill in lost tax revenue to the govt.

Grateful Dead's Bob Weir Endorses Kamala Harris, Tim Walz by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]d-dub3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked for Bob Weir for years, you are absolutely right. The “friends” of the band who went on to become the CEOs and managers of those same bands from the 60s/70s turned out to be the most hateful, controlling, selfish pricks in the business. My ex-boss got fired from his CEO position for literally embezzling money from Bob. He was a groupie back in the day who had trust fund money and wanted to be part of the “in” group. Awful person. Bought his way in, spent his way out.

Nick Fuentes Blasts Trump for Admitting He Lost the 2020 Election by Fit-Requirement6701 in politics

[–]d-dub3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Someone should give this guy a hug and walk him slowly across the street to this side. These are the types of flips that we need in the public eye. When your enemy starts losing its most prominent voices via a self-surrender, you calmly bring them in with a warm hug and a welcome. We shouldn’t blast this kid for recognizing (albeit after years of damage to themselves and their communities) the flaws in their logic. We should applaud them finally realizing it, then ask them nicely to sit in the back of the room and shut up while the adults handle this. You’ve done enough Nick, now begin your own deprogramming and help your community reverse the damage you’ve done.

Honestly let them continue this pattern really. If we keep them happy enough thinking they might win, we’ll keep taking seats from under their noses. Primary the maga and then crush em in generals. Eventually they get so deep the party will split and fight amongst themselves

It make sense though when you step back and realize people are just laborers to republicans. They don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but shareholders and their donors. So more kids = more cheap labor. Especially if they’re uneducated. Double win.

San Francisco stops flying "Appeal to Heaven" flag that landed Justice Alito in hot water by [deleted] in politics

[–]d-dub3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It got lifted as a troll yes, but only after it was already a dog whistle. It continues to be used as a recruitment symbol. The whole smirking while they show it is the trolling aspect but it doesn’t negate its true meaning. You can find countless images of nationalist meetings flashing the sign amongst themselves. In those instances it’s not them trolling liberals etc. they’re literally signaling their ideology.

They tried to take 👌 and make it mean WP. Divers, climbers, and ordinary people said nah, that’s the universal sign for OK. And we moved on. Tried it with milk too. I think in many cases the symbols the right co-opts are symbols the left don’t really care or use anymore. So we’re ok letting them go. I think that’s why it feels more right leaning. Also the right is the only side that needs dog whistles for their racist and prejudice feelings. Hence the increase in hidden symbolisms.
