Sorry, all flights grounded because solar flares. At least we only lost 20 planes this time.
Sorry, all flights grounded because some fuckwit decided to use satellites for a network instead of fiber underground and a bad actor jammed the radio spectrum.
Sorry, all flights are grounded because Elmo Muskrat got in a pissy fit on Twitter with a 15 year old kid, and he showed him by shutting off the satellite network over the US. (Variation on your last bullet.)
The attempt to sell Teslas to the military was definitely a conflict of interests as well.
Funny how handset manufacturers keep on designing borderless devices you can't pick up without interacting with, with unusable and frustrating touch-keyboards, and users of them keep creating cases with grip points, chins, and keyboards.
Almost like the industry isn't making what people want, and hasn't in a long time.
This is the fun side of Apple. Since they're a monoculture, they can't just blame a partner or vendor like every other tech company. Watching them squirm is delightful. So arrogant and closed-source.
Problem is, they don't know how to run businesses either.
Muskrat:
Mango Mussolini:
Not an exhaustive list. Edit: Added some more exhaustive.
Many rich people, but we should not confuse wealth with power. Too many do, it's an easy mistake to make. They're all just people, assholes for sure, but just the same as anyone else. Not worth any more respect, in fact worth less. Once people see through their illusion they present of having power or strength, people then see them as the worthless pieces of garbage they really are.
A necessary skill for us all to quickly master right now. You see it starting to show in government agencies finally starting to ignore Muskrat, a "civilian advisor" with "no real power" (their words), who's sending threatening emails to government organizations controlled by congress. They should all just completely ignore him, it's just another mindless crazy person distraction.
Muskrat isn't a real government employee, Mango Mussolini even said so. Any of his requests should just be ignored by the management of every government agency that is controlled by Congress.
Reminded me of this doublespeak class warfare article from November: Rich people are dominating holiday travel - Most hotel guests this season will be people making six-figure incomes, analysts say.
Households earning at least six figures a year are expected to make up the largest share of holiday travelers this season — 45%, up from 38% in 2023, according to a recent survey by the consulting firm Deloitte. And they’re on track to make up a majority of paid lodging customers, expanding their ranks as hotel guests from 43% last season to 52% now.
“Travelers are looking to invest in upgrades and experiences that will make the holiday memorable,” said Kate Ferrara, vice chair for U.S. transportation, hospitality and services at Deloitte.
This was an example of pure psychological warfare to get people to spend more money at hotels. "Well, those 'rich' $100k earners are upgrading their stay, I will to!"
Corpo "news" is such shit.
Probably the most sobering part. This is exactly what they're doing, as Muskrat is too dumb to understand how they work (and don't.) Meanwhile, the 19 year old kids accessing old COBOL systems are trusting hallucinating AIs to access them, but since the kids don't actually have the knowledge and wisdom of how COBOL works, they'll blindly trust the hallucinations.
That works fine in nowheresville like the Nevada desert. Unfortunately, the bulk of America east of the continental divide is too populated to legally pull that off in any reasonable amount of time.
Much of the cargo lines through much of the country are pretty flat and straight. Tracks and such would have to be upgraded, but doable.
Bigger problem though is my previous mention. They own the lines, so passenger rail is a second-class citizen.
Amen. It’s necessary.
You think that's crazy, check out Leadville, Colorado. (3,095m)
