Geez, these newbies are so young, their frontal lobes aren’t fully connected to the rest of their brains. Plus, being connected to Musk makes them immediately suspect to crookedness.
Young engineers working at the direction of a South African billionaire with no official government connection have taken over the federal HR & GSA computer systems, gaining access to all Americans’ social security numbers and private data, and firing government employees.
Remember when you had to bring your little brother to a play date?
One got kicked out, the other is on the way out. Couldn’t happen too soon or to a more deserving pair:
A quick calculation:
If the helicopter service cost $15 in 1965 (for example), that would be the equivalent of $134.04 today.
I could see a New York cab ride costing that much in 2023.
Have you checked all the cardboard boxes on 5th Avenue?

I’ve felt this excited going to bed at times myself.

This thing is a land yacht! When I lived in South Florida, the IT director was from Noo Yawk, with that kind of accent and he had a ‘72 Buick in a darker green. He ruled his kingdom with fear; after being hired, he’d keep an eye on what you were doing, and a misstep resulted in a visit from him, in a not-so-good mood. Being the kind of guy he was, he might still have that Buick.
Why?
Why does this criminal whiny little bitch get to come up with a lower bond total?
The prosecutors have the evidence, displayed it in court, he was found guilty and had a bond amount to pay. It’s a large amount but the total was judged to be the amount he shorted the state by having a variable amount to his building’s value.
If regular people, you and me, had a huge amount we owed in a court case due to manipulating valuations, do you think we’d get a break like this? Or do you think they’d immediately seize your home and property and possessions?
So he couldn’t come up with $464 million. If you can’t afford the consequences, don’t do the crime.
This criminal has skated on every evil, malicious and self-serving deed he’s done in his life, and there’s a whole library of noxious deeds that he’s done. You think he won’t come up with the $175 million instead to appeal his barges? Maybe he won’t, but for the sake of this country and people, let’s not drag this out any longer. We have the rule of law, and that says that in cases like this, the amount fined and interest is what the guilty party has to come up with. No gimmes, do-Overs, Kings X, fingers crossed, or any other child’s play: it’s time me to apply the law as it’s written.
Odd that the party who was bitching about “cancel culture” is finding so many things to cancel. When they’re not canceling things like people, educational courses, bodily sovereignty, beer, department stores, words, companies that speak out, things they can’t define (like “woke”), etc. they’ll whine like air raid sirens about things they don’t like…. Okay, for that party, it’s not odd.
I received one of these for Christmas, too, back in the late ‘70s. It was a “Snug Sack.” I still have it; used it last winter and probably will this winter m too. It’s very cozy!
I got one of these for Xmas as a kid.
You have so many wonderful posts, and many others and I enjoy them. Likewise, I enjoy what you have to say, as I’m old, this world is going to the kids gradually, and I want them to change it for the better; it’s the only planet we’ve got. Please speak out as frequently as you would like!
Always ask yourself WHY someone tries to convince you not to vote or that your vote “doesn’t count”. What does anybody gain by not voting? What have you done for the world by not voting?
The people sitting in puddles of negativity saying DO NOT EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS are free to sit in their puddles. But who gains by being dragged into their dark puddle?
Why so you people care if we vote? Why do you need to convince others to “give up”? What is YOUR big plan to fix this? How does negative apathy change the dystopia you love to moan about? Yes, you are so much smarter and cooler and harder and edgier than the rest of us for folding your arms and refusing to participate. Good for you. Live your lives inside a dark, hopeless cloud if you like but please stop trying to keep others from enjoying the sunshine of positive action💗
