Grief makes people do weird things and pictures can be misleading. That said, this is creepy as fuck and you should trust your gut if you ever feel unsafe around her.

In addition to what others have said, he also enjoys the direct power it gives him over corporate leaders. He wants to coerce them into subservience so they have to kiss his ass and be nice to him. Tariffs give him something to hold over their heads.

I am surprised Vance wore his pajamas to lunch. He looks like he lost his luggage.

Every discussion I’ve had with someone who said this has led me to expect ignorance. I think its something people who don’t know much like to say because they think it sounds good.

Good catch, those are two very different things being compared as if they are equivalent. I would expect that the number of Canadians who actually want Canada to get annexed by the US is lower than the number who think it is likely.

I think you missed their point. Contemporary US style libertarianism has taken over the term, historically it meant something very different. They are arguing that people should start using the word again to mean things other than US style libertarianism. They are very obviously not confused about what libertarianism actually is given their knowledge of the history of the term; ironically it seems like you are unaware of this history and are doing something akin to what you accuse OP of doing.

I do agree though that people are generally very ignorant about this sort of stuff and often latch onto words to describe their politics without any genuine understanding of what those words actually mean.

One of the driving forces behind this phenomena is that business types value having that reoccurring revenue on the books more than “normal” revenue. If you have two companies with identical revenue but one of them gets it from customers locked in on a subscription, that company will be valued significantly higher. If you’re an exec or a big investor who owns a lot of stock in a company then you’re effectively incentivized to push the company towards that subscription based reoccurring revenue model because it will boost the stock price and make you richer.

Not so fun fact: Ginny Thomas, the wife of US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, helped organize and pay for those buses.

I was one of those millions. Cost me way more than I got back in the settlement. Wells Fargo is a criminal organization.

I thought it was a pond on a ranch and she was drunk driving and the primary issue was the doors wouldn’t open so she drowned in the car? There was also recently a Cybertruck that crashed and burst into flames and the doors wouldn’t open so the teenagers inside were burned to death in what could have otherwise been a survivable crash.
