given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp

This guy is such a piece of shit and deserves much worse in my opinion. I looked into the case for a min just to enjoy some of the details of him being taken down.

One of my favorite moments was when he revealed that he truly has no spine (surprise! Lol): when he actually tried to obtain a pardon from the cheeto-in-chief, this is a direct quote from Menendez: “President Trump is right,” Menendez said in a statement. “This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.”

Rot in prison, shit-head🖕

Thanks for reminder! See ya next profile, lol

This really captures the reality of the situation, and is exactly what pisses me off most about these uber-wealthy: they are cheapskates to their very core and will not give up a penny without being a fucking Karen first

I just imagine he has a giant carnival wheel that’s marked with all sorts of reprehensible things to do and he just spins it whenever he’s bored and proceeds to executive order whatever he lands on

Sorry for the country destruction, that was my bad

There’s nothing good in America because there’s nothing good in Americans. I should know, I was one.

That’s a level of self-awareness this country could use tbh. My man’s not afraid to admit he’s got nothing good in himself in service of making the greater point that none of us Americans have nothing good in us either. 🥂

I know this isn’t really a universal indicator, but for me it’s been watching the price of simple things like chips, candy, and soda ($3 for a 20 oz bottle?!?). All things that i enjoy occasionally but as the price of all these things continues to rise it becomes easier to say no. I was shocked to see the bagel place in town charging $15 for a sandwich on a bagel. Nobody seems to bat an eye though. I think I’m probably just getting gradually priced out of my town ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of course I’m aware i don’t have to buy any of that stuff and i can cook and make food at home, and that’s what I’ve started doing. I may treat myself on occasion but i just can’t justify spending that much on stuff that didn’t used to cost half that. I’m probably just getting old and remember “back in my day” all too well, lol

times are a-changing a-ching-ching 🤑

Corners were cut and mistakes were made.

This is my assumption about nearly all modern tech. We’ve reached the point where it’s practically standard practice to release unfinished products and/or software. In many cases, it ends up being a particular person or small group of enthusiasts that end up finishing and polishing the product.

Not only that, but support for many tech products is shorter-term than ever. I was talking to a mechanic recently who was surprised to be informed by Alfa Romeo’s parts department, that they did not offer replacements for a particular part for the brake lines on a car that was less than 10 years old…and referred the mechanic to find a seller on eBay who makes them. There was indeed one company making the part and selling them on eBay. That was the aftermarket support, lol!

Whoa 😶

They have every right to say that about the US, though, and I am happy they can voice thier opinion. Unlike in China, where the government will happily throw you and your family behind bars for saying something even approaching a bad opinion of government action.

I think the concern here could be that revoking visas might be a first step towards a more intolerant policy a la China as referenced above

It’s weird–Tesla at least projected some sort of ‘higher-end’ quality back when they first started coming around but as time has gone on it’s proven itself to be a very cheaply-made vehicle.

The fact they insist on using their proven-inferior tech for FSD tells you all you need to know: they aren’t looking to innovate or even bring themselves up to modern standards. They are determined to make their cars with the cheapest, shittiest tech and they’ll just grease the right palms in order to proceed as necessary.

Well, the last line of the article does say:

Staff at the City of Marion officially recommended the council sell the land to Tesla, with the proposal to be discussed at a council meeting tonight.

So, you very well may be right. It will be interesting to see which way this proceeds…

To break it even further down: that’s $5200/hr or almost $87/min – over $1/sec to be CEO there

Can you imagine how many rounds of interviews he had to go through to get the job? 🤪

You’d think he was actively trying to destroy the country, the way they’re dismantling everything. I’m still waiting to see any sort of benefit from all the cuts they’ve made so far.

“Bring us your mouth-breathers, your incels, your neckbeards…”

Think of all the lives that will be spared because Leon never got the chance to implement his shitty FSD that he kept dangling in everyone’s faces

Yeah, this must be faked lol

If the working conditions were poor, i could only imagine how the conditions were for the inmates 😶

This is terrifying. Also another case where the use of clinical language really grinds my gears. Sheriff said the 25-year-old died from “mechanical and positional asphyxia”… i get that’s precisely what it’s called but it also seems to create this rift between:

• a young man having a mental health crisis while in custody of police

and

• the police having direct responsibility for this outcome

It’s like: the guy was there, the cops were there, mechanical and positional asphyxia took place, the man died. A room full of cops and they can’t figure out exactly what happened? Jesus fucking Christ
