But apparently he shit the bed over COVID and the party was over. He said enough is enough. Good bye.
Then and only then did you decide he was a bag guy.
Not before.

And?
Lots of people revealed their true character thanks to COVID.
Eric Clapton, most cops, even Van Morrison turned out to be assholes.

What's your point?
That you're not supposed to re-evaluate someone when it becomes obvious they're a dipshit, or that you are?

Your mom is a closed system.

"worship"

You mean, he bought a Tesla, and it's a good car?

"THe wealth is not 'hoarded' as knowledgeable people realize, rather they invest in companies"

Yacht making companies.
Fancy Swiss watch companies.
The lifeblood of the working class.

Shooting the messenger isn't a valid argument, not that you care about making valid arguments.

I don't get the "print the legend" reference... and I don't see how a 2014 documentary about 3-D printing with that name is the right Google search to explain it!

"Its language designates as targets of federal counterterrorism authorities Americans whose sponsors are labeled "anti-American", " anti-capitalist", " anti-Christian" or "hostile to traditional American views on family, religion and morality."

This is what I voted for.

a data center they've lived near for 20 years and still don't know it's already there.

The new data centers are roughly one hundred times the size, and people will know they're there. They'll be hard to miss.

"Current traditional data centers typically span 100,000 to 300,000 square feet in a single city-based building. In contrast, new mega AI data centers are expanding to millions of square feet across hundreds of acres, with some projects described as the size of Central Park or even four times larger." --AI Summary, but not a "this AI needs a new Data Center to do this" AI Summary.

"As will all left wing statistics intended to race bait"

Those are government statistics.

I guess simply keeping statistics is race baiting, when you're a racist.

Why would I ever own a pool? Nothing but a drowning hazard for neighborhood children... oh nvm I get it.

Anyway, having been to the reflecting pool several times, I'm accustomed to seeing people in there with rakes cleaning it up. Did DOGE fire those guys?

The point is you want the products, the services, the innovation, we all feed into it and value it.

The point is want a government that puts checks on the power of oligarchs, and we don't get that.

We're not jealous of the power of the oligarchs. We don't want anyone to have that kind of power.

When it comes to jealousy of unimaginable riches, there's no reason you shouldn't be as jealous as anyone else here. We're all worth zero compared to these guys.

Yet somehow your "jealousy" rule only applies to anyone who dares criticize the rise of the oligarch class over the past twenty years. Your "jealousy" retort is a conditioned emotional response. And look at you, you made a comment that reinforced your learning! And you will never, ever move away from your emotional-based claim that jealousy , and jealousy alone, is why people don't like having oligarchs.

Eberly's whole way of thinking here demonstrates that
conservative men have their strongest political positions
rooted in negative emotions about the people they don't like.

"with just 5 percent disagreeing"
It would be fascinating to know who those morons are.

JeffJ, MadBomber, Lumpernaut, etc.

You don't think it could be a thermal consequence of whatever paint they used absorbing more light and warming up the pond?

"You've managed to nullify the bulwark against fascism that our three branches of government were meant to provide."

Let's be realistic.

That's a very "postwar" development.

Ethnic Cleansing the West was the primary function of the Federal government until the West had be Ethnically Cleansed.

"Beta"

All Senators are Betas.

If they were Alphas, they'd be the President. Or Governor. Or CEO.

Probably the worst thing about toxic masculinity is the generationally transmitted abject stupdity, passed down from mediocre father to mediocre son.

For all of his weirdness

What's this "weirdness" you speak of?

What's the non-racist outcome when when person stabs and kills another?

2023 Demographic Differences in Federal Sentencing

#173 And people will deny it. People who actually know Elon Musk bought Tesla, including the rights to call himself the Founder, will still deny it.

One thing we have learned in the last twenty years: Cults are very popular.

ICE raided a Kindergarten graduation celebration in Baltimore the other day.

Terrorizing brown people is the ICE mission.
