A strawman is when you purposefully misrepresent someone’s opinion to make it easy to “prove” wrong. This cannot apply here because there is no misrepresentation possible, as the only group I am referring to are specifically those who are thinking like that.

I am very annoyed by the thought that some people’s reaction to this title will be “Good! I don’t want them damn bacterias in my gut!”

Were they really expecting Venezuela to welcome the US as their new puppeteer just because they kidnapped their leader?

They’re about to run out of drinking water and might even have to evacuate Teheran because of it.

While the surrounding countries invested in their water supplies and won’t be affected anywhere as badly by the drying conditions, the Iranian government spent all its resources in their nuclear and missile programs and just hoped that the decades long trend in reducing rainfall would reverse. It didn’t.

They won’t be able to ignore it any further when people start dying. But it will be too late by then.

Just a reminder that trying to buy an election is normally frowned upon in sane countries.

I am brave enough to say it: The ocean has water in it.

Praise me for my braveness.

So… Can any medical expert tell us if this sets any life expectancy limits?

Except that they do just that by borrowing money against their stocks, which also incidentally allows them to avoid paying taxes. That’s how Musk bought Twitter.

You can’t even spend a billion dollars with the most ridiculous luxury items you can think of. Spending that much in a lifetime for things you would even remotely appreciate would feel like work.

The only difference having billions of dollars makes instead of only a few millions in a rich person’s life is that it enables them to singlehandedly influence politics to their personal liking by buying politicians and media institutions. Which is something nobody should be allowed to do to begin with.

Meanwhile had that billion dollars been distributed to the worker class through fair wages or even to the consumers through fair prices it would have contributed to the economy and the well-being of everyone. Having to tax it to avoid seeing that money sit in some asshole’s offshore bank account is a failure of the system to properly distribute wealth when it is generated to begin with and even that isn’t being done right now.

Is he just going to keep picking other country’s monuments he likes and make his own bootleg version of it in Washington?

Looking forward to the Trump Mahal, Sizeable Bob, Christopher the Coupon Redeemer, DC Tower and the Slanted Tower of Pizza.

Imagine telling a war correspondent that they can’t go to a zone of conflict because “It’s too dangerous, there are people shooting each other there”

“Bought them out” is a weak word too though. He placed loyal people on the board and had them vote to give him control of the company.

And now he has been having them vote to give him absurd unseen before “salaries”

Musk nearly bankrupted Tesla when he insisted that the door handles must be flush after stealing the company from its original founders.

Trump is Russia’s bitch and now it is obvious that Russia is China’s bitch. China won.

With China working hard to catch up with chip production, it is only a matter of time before we start seeing attractively priced Chinese made GPUs on the market. No idea how long it will take though.

We all know. He made everything worse and made it cost more money.

If you smoke enough you won’t be able to see inside again.

I bet if Trump stays in power long enough he will inevitably demand that it is painted gold.

So you end up paying more in a few years than you would have paid to buy instead. And you are limited in how much you use it. And I imagine you have to deal with bandwidth and latency issues. And you don’t get to keep it.

The future is stupid.
