I do wonder how this could possibly save his stocks. Anyone who was dumping stocks of companies where he was involved isn't going to buy them back simply because he's cutting ties with Trump.
If anything this will make his stocks dive even further because now he won't even be able to get government contracts via corruption.
I'm getting pretty tired of hearing people spout the copium that the election was "rigged" when it's the far more sinister complete capture by the monied class, first past the post, active voter suppression and gerrymandering, and loopholes allowing billionaires to fund the campaigns of whoever they choose.
The election wasn't rigged, the elections are barely democratic.
Same as in Singapore. Each election isn't fake, just set up to bring the PAP back to majority government without fail.
That being said, you really need to get rid of your voting machines, that is a really risky practice, and I'll grant it is possible those were hacked. (I'm assuming you're from the US). If you're okay with that possibility, then you also have to admit it was possible when Trump lost.
Voting machines are dumb.
Thank you, this detail had me scratching my head. D≈1.56" makes so much more sense.
Not knowing the difference between circumference and thickness? Instant turn off.
The election wasn't rigged (in the sense you're hoping for, or that MAGAs were alleging for the 2020 election). On a federal level it's deeply broken because of state administration, voter suppression, loopholes allowing for billionaires to fund election campaigns and first past the post.
On a state level from what I can tell it's much the same with a few exceptions.
I kinda doubt Musk had to do anything illegal to influence the election.
What a tease!
I don't judge the individual, but I sure as hell judge them as a group, who keep voting for people who are doing genocide.
Work forced our update and it's massively slowed down everyone's computers.
The IT guy gave me this knowing look when I came to ask if I could do anything about it.
Nope.
Bloody ridiculous because in terms of functionality it's a step backwards in many areas, some decent little improvements in very few areas, and overall trash performance.
Really wish they had paid for extended security updates.
And then there was light!
If we know each other, I'd tell you in a heartbeat. On the internet where someone will just vacuum it up into their dataset? Not a chance.
Apparently 30 roses is $200 AUD ($126 USD).
Florists making a killing today.

The only numbers I will ever spell are one and zero, and only when using them as a pronoun, or for emphasis, respectively.
Is there ever a reason to not to use symbols when dealing with numbers? Why would "fourteen whatevers" ever be preferable to "14 whatevers". It's just so much easier to read numbers as symbols, not spelled out.
(Caveat, not including multipliers, like "273 billion").

How many times do you think about the Roman Empire per day?
Kinda sounds like we agree.
What I mean is that the system wasn't legally "rigged", more than it already was morally so.
What I mean is that is wasn't "more" rigged than it already was in 2020.
