True enough. A business much like any other business relying on making money, truth, justice & facts be damned.

What Capitalism doesn't care about:
* waste
* quality (only care if they can sell you shit)
* fraud, abuse & more. (check out Robert Day's "Great American Heist" about the UNregulated credit card biz.)
Did you know CCs were so unregulated? Neither did I.

I'm a Christian... but if the Bible hasn't fixed humanity after 2+ millenia, I'm thinkin' beatin' people over the head with it isn't gonna improve things.
It's by example, folks. It's by example. Love.

What's kinda funny is -- bunches of libs hop to bsky, & all the "own the lib" types follow libs over here, since there's a dwindling # over on X to "own."
So he's not just losing the lib/sane faction -- he's losing the crazy RW sadists who have nothing better to do than be ugly. What a life goal!

Indeed... and liberals live rent-free in all those folks whose lifelong ambition is to "own the libs."
They're so addicted to it, they have to come rushing over here to bluesky after libs.
Sad.

Don't need 'em, don't want them.
The health of my loved ones, especially women of child-bearing age, is far, far, far more important.
Bye bye cuck. I'll stop your vulgarity from interfering in my world.
You are so sad, wanting misery for others. How very fucking sad and pitiful that is.

He hasn't taken office yet.
There's no way the algebra of his different policies works out to a decreasing deficit, which increases bond prices and economic instability.
Recession's a'comin.

LOL y'all's desire to focus on liberals instead of your own selves is kinda sick.
You do realize, to focus so much on others, it means they are living rent-free in your brain, buddy.

Lordy you are ignorant.
Which is why people left X -- cuz too many of ya were all ignorant, crude, rude, impolite whose goal was only to "own the libs."
Hunny, if you need to own the libs, then the libs are living rent free in your mind. Suffer.

I think people should ask more questions about DeSantis re-election in 2022. He got nearly 50% more votes the 2nd time after barely winning by less than 1% in 2018.
Sumthin' fishy about that.

Bc they've LONG been out of the business of being a public service.
When you understand that, then you can start to understand nearly everything else that follows: the takeover of formerly public-interest organizations and weaponize them, either overtly or subtly.

Mercury News hasn't been the "San Jose" Mercury News for some years.
So what DO you use for news, or do you just suck off services you don't HAVE to pay for, like NPR?
How do you think cancelling them helps?

Don't look too closely at that narrowing and narrowest House majority ever, sport.
You think the House got nothing done last term?
It's gonna be worse.
Cuz, for some reason, y'all fucks think we're better w/o a functional govt. That's cuz you're ignorant of what the govt does for you.

Belief in human rationality in absence of abundant evidence to the contrary is that peak stupidity, imnsho.
We design so much of our society on rationality, and too little on the mid-brain which controls so much.

No one in the news seems to be mentioning the fact that his "focused protection" til herd immunity is a fallacy.
We STILL have no herd immunity to COVID.

There are some good clips/descriptions if you Google. The influence Thiel has had on our culture is mind-boggling.
Founding investor, FB on their BOD until '22. Funded: Yelp, LinkedIn, Uber, AirBnB, Tesla, SpaceX. Did he talk about Musk nearly killing them both in his new uninsured $1M car? Sigh.

I read Max Chafkin's bio of Thiel at the end of summer. Chilling dude.
Thanks, I'll check that out.
TheAltantic did a piece on Elon's grandfather Sept of last year, worth a read.

Merkel says he has a strange fascination with Putin; a former Australia PM (I think? Australian highly ranked official, in any case) said he looks at Putin like a puppy dog.
Impressive, cuz Vlad's a short dude.

The Ruble crashing is good sign. Apparently bc of add'l sanctions Biden imposed on Gazprom or something.
Apparently their Central Bank has blocked currency selling of rubles.
At any rate it's like 1 ruble to 0.0088 USD

Yup.
They've become the tools of that which they kept complaining about... the blindness is... SMH.

Yeah... look up the Thiel-Altman Prospera project in Honduras.
Who is even talking about this?
Who is informing people about "network states" ?

That's the point - they push out so much shit about what they're going to do, who can keep up?
While you're at it... learn about OPEC-2020 and discover possibly a major cause of inflation, and the fact that Israel cut off intelligence sharing back in 5/2017 after Oval visit w/Kislyak & Lavrov.

a board that's gonna analyze the brass for wokeness and kick them out of the military... should be interesting /s

Consider the guy who LOVES WWE. Who, for 3+ hours sat and watched his minions beat up on cops.
He LOVES violence. He's a sadist.
The degree of his sadism... horrifying to contemplate, TBH.

Example: amt of attention given to COP29.
To which I'm sure a fair number of ppl will need to Google to find out WTF I'm talking about.
But Gladiators 2 and Wicked, as a competitor to Barbenheimer?!? (nod to Oppenheimer, tho', at least it deal with a truly existential issue.

Primarily talking about TV.
Now we have "news" programs that feature as "news" things happening in entertainment industry, to the point that it overwhelms anything political, geopolitical, scientific, civics -> things which have far more impact on ppl.

AFTER.

AFTER.
Doesn't count. They allowed it.
And if you think just bc Cambridge Analytica the co disappeared that the algos & data did, and didn't improve, y'all in peak denial.
Dude, you don't talk like English is your native language. "Of the product was strong"? WTF.

Besides, Thiel apparently finds Google a threat to various of his businesses/investments... which makes me want the govt to go after Facebook rather than Google, all the more.
