And mostly being born rich to begin with...

You were doing great until you went ableist

I spent the 1990s checking out how a series of rich individuals got their money. Every one I dug into was a scammer, monopolist or criminal. These included Mark Shapiro, Paul Mears, David Siegel and Congressman John Mica.

Useful and well crafted costs money. If the rubes are falling for the cheap and crude version why change?

The mongoose would at least bite 🐍…

No wonder why people are paying respects to the late Ted Turner (despite being indirectly responsible for a bunch of domino effects that lead to the hell we’re currently living in…)

These excerpts remind me strongly of Andreessen's bonkers "manifesto" which is one of the worst things I have ever read.

trying to decide if this is worse than musk fluffing himself through his mom’s x account

The mongoose is trying its very best! The Post’s Editorial Board, on the other hand…

You’re secretly a 🐍

🤣

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was a god damn hero, and I will not stand for any mongoose slander. Jeff Bezos fucking sucks, though

If I didn't already follow you, I would for this comment alone 😅

They both only have to care about catering to an audience of one.

Weeeeell, if you consider the target demo...

The hit piece they wrote eulogizing the Left Coast the other day was equally bad. Just indistinguishable from a random far right blog circa 2008 these days.

And look who controls their nation today. Plus Democrats have swung right enormously.

Admittedly, I haven’t read a Wall Street Journal editorial in a long time, but I kind of think they were better than this?

but remember that something like half US Americans can’t even read above a fifth grade reading level so they don’t need to create better propaganda for them because most folks would not understand it anyway

Just nut up and say the slur if you're just going to mock the same people regardless. So many words for fuckwit and you're struggling with the semantic treadmill on the slowest speed.

changing "democracy dies in darkness" into a promise

I'm pretty familiar with corporatist agitprop and this is not good corporatist agitprop

Half the crap was written by Artificial Intelligence. I have no doubt. I’ve been a subscriber since 2009. It’s gotten so BAD in the last 2 years!

Perhaps it is more just about capturing the institution so it can no longer fulfill its intended purpose more than actually being good at it. I think Ellison knew Bari would fail at CBS, but that was the point. And gaining Trump’s favor.

Billionaires want most what they can never buy: respect

How dare we not worship the fourth wealthiest person in the world?

They're just there to give the idiots new cut and pastes.
