It's in the article, they didn't drop him during the coverage period they declined to renew.

It's perfectly fair, if you can decline to review and insure with someone else when the 6 month term is up, so can they.

Nah, bullshit. This is 100% Musk's fragile ego getting upset that people blocked him. He wants to be able to force his and his evil friends' opinions into the faces of people who don't want to see it.

I envy the faith you have in process and quality control, especially knowing these products are produced by the profit seeking capitalist class who definitely do NOT feed it to their own families.

Nah, you're just some Christofascist. The correct and moral thing to do is ban you, from society.

Or they're shitty tech executives and are shit people, which has nothing to do with gender.

We're you already familiar with Linux or follow a guide? Lot of products I'm not familiar with there.

Well yeah. If you trace it backwards, before fiat, what was commodity backed currency? What inherent value is there to gold and silver? Back then there was little industrial use, it was just useful as something to trade for other things.

So going back further, at it's core, currency is just a middle man to bartering. Instead of trading the grain you labored to grow for shoes from the cobbler, when you don't need shoes right now, you take gold/shells/beads knowing you can use them to trade for repairs to your plow from the blacksmith. Currency has always been a social construct, not inherent to the commodity.

This is actually one argument against the hoarding behavior of the ultra wealthy. It disrupts the natural economy and creates unhealthy power dynamics. The rich person can distort labor away from productive things healthy for future development of the society, say by using their vast wealth to pay a ton of farmers to build statues of the rich guy, until suddenly there's famine because no one is growing food.

You're full of absolute shit, Europeans were just the peanut on the turd. Ever since proto-Asians crossed Beringia North America has gone to hell, killing the sabertooth tigers and hunting all the really fucking cool megafauna to extinction. There used to be giant sloths here, and sloths are so chill.
