Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.

But Obama said don’t let the good be the enemy of the horrible.

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA?

Yes it is. It is called “forced arbitration” and pretty much every contract you are compelled to sign has it.

In any kind of just society with a fair legal system it would not be legal. But that doesn’t describe us or our legal system.

Well I think he proved that if you fire 80 percent of a company it doesn’t work anymore. That apparently is a surprise to a lot of people.

My guess is you’re seeing the computer go into a reject loop until a human operator finally takes over.

Marx called it thre reserve army of labor.

Shapiro would have been a bad and divisive choice. Walsh was the best of the bunch and I’m absolutely stunned that she picked him.

That article mostly seems to be arguing that the CHIPS act giveaway is too small. Maybe it is, but the fundamental problem is that our largest corporations are being run by traitorous, globalist wreckers who will undermine our national economy by taking the money and using it to accelerate offshoring. If Chinese CEOs tried to pull this stuff they’d end up in reeducation camps.

The CHIPS act was nerfed by lobbyists. It was supposed to ban companies from simply redirecting money overseas.

For instance, suppose Intel gets 8.5 billion in CHIPS act money that it’s supposed to spend domestically. And suppose that in a given year they spend 10 billion dollars in the US and 30 billion dollars overseas. So they get the CHIPS act money and they spend 10 billion dollars in the US and 38.5 billion dollars overseas. That looks like they spent the CHIPS act money overseas, right? Nope, according to Intel’s accountants, the CHIPS act money was spent domestically, but then Intel realized they had an extra 8.5 billion dollars and just went ahead and spent that other money overseas.

Like, the exact dollars they got, those they spend domestically, but then that “freed up” other dollars to spend overseas.

That these companies would do this was predicted and there were controls in the bill to prevent that, but the companies (Intel, IBM, etc) got all those controls stripped out of the bill.

Intel is run by the same MBA/Financier scum that destroyed Boeing. Their “leadership” is what caused the US to lose the industry we created in the first place. The idea that giving those scum billions of dollars would fix anything is a laugh. The CHIPS act should have began by nationalizing Intel, firing the entire executive suite along with all the MBAs and consultants at the company.

not scare anyone away

Picking one of the biggest hyper-zionists this side of John Fetterman would be a very poor way to do this.

I only know him for sending police to crack heads at pro-Palestine rallies.

It’s almost as if politicians (particularly at this level) often need to walk a rhetorical tightrope so as to avoid alienating large swathes of voters [small set of powerful donors]. Crazy.

FIFY

She’s not chasing voters at all, she’s chasing donors. She’s also apparently whispering sweet nothings to Wall Street about firing Lina Kahn.

Not for long:

Daily reminder that ACAB.

My experience is that Firefox often has problems on Google-owned properties. Either performance/responsiveness or functionality just not working. Why this would be is left as an exercise for the reader.

I resemble that.

I mean, if his brain wasn’t oozing out of his ears they wouldn’t have tried.

Obama picked him as VP and then organized the takedown of Bernie in 2020. Obama is his fairy godfather.

But Daddy Warren’s getting his green so he don’t care.

halfway decent candidate

Lol no it’s Kamala.
