So someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't many Twitter employees start talking about how horrible Elon was and how they didn't want to work for him when the discussions were ongoing?

Seems like if large chunks of the employee base are talking smack on the possible new CEO, not even as a corporation but as an individual, they shouldn't be unduly surprised if the CEO decides to show them the door when he gets in since he can't be sure they won't be actively hostile.

And I know this is happening in such a way that they aren't just letting go of people that talked smack on musk, but still I don't know what supposed adults were thinking when they were s*t talking their new potential CEO.

Wow laying off a large chunk of an unprofitable company is lex luthor evil? Guess the bar for super villain has become substantially lower.

They didn't fail they were sabatoged by an incompetent CEO.

For the love of God can you please just focus on the browser. Right now Firefox is the one thing standing between all web protocols being decided by Google and an open net.

You'll do a hell of a lot more good by ensuring Alphabet doesn't get to arbitrarily redefine protocols embed tracking in all the web and make the entire internet cater to the whims of the tech giants than any other bullshit social justice, environmental responsibility, or other virtue signaling or political bull hockey you people are currently engaged in.

Isn't that what the promise of Docker was, you can distribute the docker image and everyone is running and building the same thing?

Identity politics was manufactured to distract from the income inequality and divide people so they couldn't focus on the increasing shafting of the American middle class.

The amount of effort to file a grievance against the guy because he was late seems a little extreme. Especially since I haven't slept in 5 days now because of the aforementioned beby.

Although it was incredibly telling when I asked the nurse. "Hey so I know nurses have a list of which Drs. Are a-holes and which ones are good to work with, is our Dr an a-hole?" She responded by saying she couldn't answer that one way or another.

Just had baby Dr wanted to do it at 7:00 and the hospital required us to be there at 5:00am. Dr showed up half an hour late.

The reason he scheduled for then was so he could still do office hours. His office closes at noon. Don't like the guy.

Wow and here I thought most people hadn't read the communist manifesto.

I agree with your vision, obviously once we replace capitalism with socialism run by a dictatorship of the proletariat then the organs of the state will quickly devolve into obselescene and will will all live in a stateless classless atheist communist utopia.

BTW: how is that Lysenknism working out for you now that you are free from the shackles of capitalism.

You act like that's a really bad thing but tbh requiring payment for verification seems to me one of the easiest ways to combat misinformation. Suddenly you have an actual source of money tied to an actual person that ties someone to their actual account. Meanwhile it can be assumed that anyone that doesn't verify is likely pushing false information. Seems like it is the easiest way possible to combat the misinformation not by becoming some sort of arbiter of truth but merely making it harder for people to push information out anonymously in the first place.

I agree it's those damn regulations like lousy "worker protections" and boring stupid taxes like SS and "unemployment" back in my day you'd show up to a group of men pick out the 5-10 strongest and give em 5 bucks at the end of the day if they survived. I don't understand why we can't go back to that, I mean I hear people complaining about lead all the time but I drank out of lead plumbing all my life and am fine.

I mean seriously this minimum wage crap to makes things so expensive, plus I lost half my workforce when I couldn't send 12 year olds down to the mines anymore.

Like I am sympathetic to your argument but to compare the standard of living between now and Therou using one variable and then blaming it on regulations is absurd.

Also you say no electricity very flippantly I don't know about you but the thought of not having to start a fire in the morning when it is 3 degrees outside in order to have warmth is appealing toe.
