The extra panel hidden by the red button is also a great magic school bus callback.

Not surprised Thiels/Musks paypal/venmo are onboard.

This is just an absurd attempt to derail arguments about fair taxation by waiving a red herring around about people being able to voluntarily increase their own taxes, as if asking for a fair system is the same as utterly destroying your own solvency.

Sounds like someone separated his brain from his body to either sell to medical science, a university, or the army, and instead fucked it up.

Maybe legal, probably not. Its common in the US, and deeply fucked up.

I dont know the article, but looking for work generally helps me when im absolutely fucking done with a job.

Yes, its more work, but it makes all the "huge and terrible" problems of your main job seem smaller, isolated, even stupid. They matter less because you dont have to depend on that job anymore, so you actually do get better mentally.

Then, if the job search is good or the second job is enough, quit that first fucker and be totally done with all the stress.

The ceo is the son of one of the founders of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company. Hes even on sliptgates board.

The owner is pure nepo and will never face any consequence for failure. Its pretty easy to see why they dont care about killing the company and fucking the employees.

Those 8.5 billion are producing all of that 100%. If you had 4 billion, it would be 45%.

Its definitely not a Balatro killer, but its got a great gameplay loop, entertaining story, and looks to have real longevity.

Id say its closer to a whimsical slay the spire, personally.

There is a steam demo if anyone wants to check it out.

The only possible justifications are "to protect victims" and "to protect people from baseless accusations" if there really is no proof of anything.

The first can be done with retractions. The latter is the issue for MAGA, as trump and his boosters have been claiming for years that the files are full of vile, evil shit that is being hidden and that they would expose everyone. They claimed this for half a decade, and were saying the truth was about to come out just months ago. They claimed they put 10,000 FBI agents on the case to verify the files, and gave MAGA influencers a "part 1" dossier to splash around.

Suddenly, a few months later there is nothing to see, even as more and more leaks about Trump being a pedophile hit the news.

Now they are playing games about releasing "credible" reports (i.e nothing with Trump in them or any republicans) and releasing everything but the files.

Trump will pardon him.

He wont see prison time.

With those tears streaking down his eyes?

Of course.

This wasn't a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That's still in "we are a family" territory, but its a bit out of scope.

Your point seems to be that "all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever." I think that's more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.
