They're jangling their keys in front of the Democrats now to:

  • hedge their bets in case of Trump unpopularity and a midterm loss and
  • preclude any anti-corportist reform in that party after their blowout loss

Yeah that went great.

One crazy outcome was that the Royal Mail's enforcement division (mall cops) were still legally real police even though their job was now to protect the company's revenue. This ended up enabling them to convict thousands of employees of theft and then railroading them through the court system after botching accounting software screwed up their books:

EDIT: I incorrectly used a medical term to describe Elon's management style. Sorry everyone.

Wait till Elon finds out pardons don't work in Canada.

I'm going to refuse to agree to the TOU when they try to force it on me. If they block me from using FF without the TOU then I will switch to something else. I think everyone should consider waiting until they try to force a TOU and then rejecting it, if you want to send a strong message.
