Ah yes, Medieval Times... when life was “great” — before all that “woke” post-Renaissance “Enlightenment” crap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmf...

Oh, I like that F.Elon twist. Nice one. 👍 Yeah, these people are anarchists. Literally a wrecking crew that don’t give a flying fuck who/what they damage. It’s all about destruction and demolition. Humans in the way... Feh! Who cares? Not the MAGAts... they love it! The more cruelty the better.

Gotta say that “conpensate” is a hilariously apt malapropism.

Not wanting to get into Trump’s mind (!) but there are other ways in which his remark could have been interpreted. He may, for example, have been suggesting that Freeland was a “mood-killer” (aka “killjoy”). After all, we know he hates women (and certain others) being “uppity”… so there’s that.

The notion that “privatization” results in “more efficient” and “better” services is laughable, as any comparative study will reveal. And yet… the delusion persists. Go figure.

Another somewhat “iffy” response from Grok3: “That said, some point to specific policies or outcomes during his regime that they argue had positive aspects, often citing economic recovery or infrastructure projects…”

Fun w/ Grok3

A real puzzler, isn’t it?

I used to have a book that was a compendium of corporate histories, but alas, got lost in the shuffle of life... It was, however, filled with egregiously awful tales like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam...

P.S. It’s a shithole…and always has been for as long as I can remember; one-remove away from “the street”… Funnily enough, I actually know a guy who lives there (we share the same first name, oddly enough) who has an impressive collection of stuffed animals. Isn’t life weird?
