Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don’t hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don’t support them.

He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It’s just a matter of time.

You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won’t end well.

I say this as a millennial who drinks and actually did whisky tasting as my main hobby with reviews for 12 years; I get it. I worked with and in the alcohol industry. They have no clue. It’s all ego and razor thin margins and old ways of running a business. They are heavily resistant to change of any sort. They will not be able to handle this at all.

Add to that they are owned by rich people as vanity projects who want their ROI ASAP at levels that healthier margin/growth industries could barely achieve and we will start seeing them disappear. Which is too bad, because it’s centuries of tradition in some cases, and I find it tasty.

You may have meant to write this under the cast iron post vs. The taxes under the Harris-Trump Boomer article.

Yikes, thanks for the info. I think I misspoke, I just find the taxing to be nit picky as a process, and my sympathy that your country doesn’t provide Healthcare.

Wait, sorry, I’m an accountant in another country; you guys don’t tax employee benefits? Lucky.

Based upon the down votes, I am adding an edit: Lucky because it can get nit picky for an accountant, not lucky because your government doesn’t care for you. But I mis spoke and it was off topic, so I accept my comment wasn’t appreciated.

I have a close family friend who isn’t very online. He was convinced Elons never made mistakes and is a galaxy brain alien. I filled him in.

Also: People still believe Reagan was a great president. Propaganda works.

So I can see a writer expecting a meeting of an ex President who says he’s amazing and Muskrat being the best that America has to offer.

I have no idea who first said it, but the idea of our norm changing away from capitalism in any meaningful way is so alien to people that they can imagine living on Mars in 5 years more readily then social change.

Remember: Albatross are good luck as long as they are alive. Vance is a wet fart in an enclosed room.

That cow’s sick! Must be bird flu.

I don’t disagree, however I never found anyone breaking down the % of shares that Musk owns vs others. So I think it could be that Musk plus his buddies have enough shares to get the votes for the pay package, but only 51%, leaving 49% to be annoyed at the costs.

The closest I could think about was Economists speaking out about Reaganomics. I also couldn’t find anything exactly like this, however I did find Bush Sr. Calling it voodoo economics and Democrats actually are credited in some cases as calling it Trickle Down economics as a negative. Even Gerald Ford attacked it, which is something coming from the guy who pardoned Nixon.

I found some criticism from Martin Feldstein in 1986 about the strength of supply side economics and some “extremists”, though that was after the fact.

They were subject to the same propaganda we all were and no one is immune, so yes, feeling empathy is OK.

Also there is a huge potential problem when you give a group lots of power and then under pay them. They are a lot easier to bribe.

Merchants have become so powerful that I, a serf, have been taught number solely to account for every penny they make. For this, I’m allowed to live an okay life. I do it with magic (Excel) because they are so big and don’t want to hire many of me. They still act like the Dutch and East India Companies, with slightly fewer atrocities.

“I’m not racist, but” oh, they are going to say something racist.

Huh, you mean a creature that has to rely on the same source for food and procreation isn't optimal? Weird.

This may not be all bad. You could potentially only work what you're capable of, and when things inevitably fall behind, basically tell them either you need more money to work multiple people's jobs or they need to hire.

That said, I understand if you are the main income provider in your family or if you are I'm a career that doesn't have a lot of jobs if you feel pressured to stick with it and not make a fuss. I had a breakdown in my first accounting job when I was doing 3 peoples work. Really opened my eyes to knowing my worth.

Weirdest ongoing joke, if I remember right. His real name is Nicholas Schimmelpenninck, but when he took over as the main host in season 2, they had shortened it to make it easier to say.

Totally, never buy the pre portioned ones. Always make them from scratch.
