Yeah if Biden had promoted someone else starting a while back it would be different. But everyone calling for this now is playing with fire. They're more concerned about not losing than rallying around Biden to win. Pushing him out at this point is going to cause enough disruption to guarantee Trump wins.

No one. Tons of people have been over this recently. Last time such a scenario happened was when LBJ walked away in 1968 and Nixon was easily swept into power. The parallels are uncanny. Anyone calling for Biden to walk away at this stage are completely ignorant or acting in bad faith.

It is unfortunately. I've been trying to spread the word that CNN was bought by Trump supporters back in 2022. Still surprises quite a few people.

Lots of people still have old caveman brain firmware that seeks tribal inclusion. The Right preys on those fears and easily wins.

Correct. I think that's the part many keep missing. SCOTUS just gave themselves the authority to determine if a Presidential act is immune from oversight. Which will no doubt be abused to help Republicans do whatever they want. But hamstring anything a Dem would attempt to accomplish.

Because they're not. Plus this is an official NASA mission and Boeing has had to meet NASA specs the whole time. Test flights are just that too. The whole point of this exercise is to find any and all possible issues before giving the craft it's final approval for standard missions.

Also, it sounded like the deal was Rivian licensed their tech to VW. For VW to then use in their own cars.

So yeah no surprise Rivian is not planning to coordinate further. The deal was VW buying the rights to catch up to where Rivian already is.

China wants it to continue. They're happy to watch NATO and others empty out their supplies for Ukraine. Potentially less supplies to later support Taiwan.

I want a script that adds "Crisis Actor" before her name to every article. With a link sharing her Explore Talent profile that was taken down after people caught onto Clandice, Tami, Bobo the clown, and a couple others potentially being hired by the GOP.

CNN is being turned into another Fox News from the inside. They sucked before 2022. Wouldn't trust them at all now. https://www.vox.com/2022/8/26/23322761/cnn-john-malone-david-zaslav-chris-licht-brian-stelter-fox-peter-kafka-column

Most of the programs exist to avoid lawsuits. They don't actually help much of anything. And before people jump down my throat I'm not against the idea of what DEI claims to fix in corporate America. I just know from the level I've worked at multiple companies that leadership doesn't really care. DEI is another box to check for the shareholders to feel good about themselves.

So tl;dr DEI is mostly pointless. Leadership allows people to talk about DEI because talk is cheap and ineffectual. But they shit their pants of we try to unionize and force change. So stop focusing on DEI and start focusing on unionization.
