So instead of a ā€œseverance packageā€ as initially reported, itā€™s a voluntary target on your back for 8 months while you continue to work until you get fired? How generous.

Since the GOPā€™s only official position is ā€œbe the biggest piece of shit possible at all timesā€ any kind of attempt to show compassion or empathy is now somehow Democrats scolding you. ā€œBe a halfway decent humanā€ shouldnā€™t be political.

Yep. The self-reinforcing decay of elected leaders. Not sure if itā€™s trash-in-trash-out or trash-out-trash-in.

Musk already got what he paid for. The rest is for fun.

Agree and agree. I just donā€™t think itā€™s a binary choice. Thereā€™s room to both double down on working class and human rights without being stuck in appeasement paralysis.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. TLDR: ā€œA winning strategy has to be more heterodox than the interest groups will allow.ā€

šŸ˜‚ Cats and birds are definitely the default algorithm. But Iā€™ll take the hardship of narrowing down the cuteness any day.
