Anybody else reminded of Freedom Fries?

So 0.5% of his reported $10+ million annually compensation package.

Interesting that neither his colleagues nor family are chipping in to make this larger.

allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety and personal misconduct

I am seeing a pattern forming with this next administration. Good job America!

It is eeally odd that the company, Tesla, is fighting so hard to give away 56 BILLION DOLLARS. That really does not sound like an efficient use of resources. I mean, how much money did they spend just on fighting these legal battles to give away even more money? Seems like the more efficient thing to do would be to accept the first decision that allowed them to keep all of that money.

The person or people pushing for this pay package should never put in a position to evaluate and recommend effeciency of anything. Fortunately, there are only a small handful of people on this planet stupid enough to assign them to such a position. 🙄

Elon Musk floats buying MSNBC, but he’s not the only billionaire who may be interested

So many questions:

• Is the soup hot or cold, in the hole?
• What type of soup is it?
• Is it gluten free?
• Is it vegetarian or vegan?
• Did they even taste the soup to know that it is, in fact, soup?

It is the lack of these type of details that make me suspect that this is not real.

No. He helped to shield the reputation of an accused rapist, pedophile, and sex trafficker.

By nominating Gaetz, Trump gave him an excuse to resign that has nothing to do with the ethics probe against him. After he resigned, the Republican led ethics committee was allowed to withhold the release of the ethics report. Once that was done, Gaetz withdrew from the nomination ensuring that the report also does not come up during confirmation hearings. Thus all of his dark secrets remain hidden in the shadows allowing him to reoffend and / or seek other positions of influence.

The trip on the Floridian will take nearly 48 hours to complete, according to Amtrak.

Coach seats start at just over $100 for the trip, with private rooms available starting at $700.

Who is their target market?

The “activist“ tools include, among other things, a text-spamming and calling feature, both of which employ the users’ actual phone number. In contrast, Democratic phone banks always anonymize phone calls to protect the privacy of volunteers. There’s also a feature that invites users to upload all their phone’s contacts into the app. Users’ friends will no doubt appreciate this giveaway of their lucrative personal information once they start getting spammed with texts and calls.

I declined to give Turning Point my phone book, skipped the spam texts, and instead hit “knock on doors.” Then I hopped in my car to try to find the “voters near me” listed in the app …

As I drove, a list of target contacts appeared, with the names, addresses, ages, and phone numbers of people up and down the road. Several entries were tagged with a red flag indicating that the address was home to multiple voters over the age of 75—a potential goldmine because older voters tend to vote more than younger ones.

Wow.

focus on fentanyl trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border as the sole root of the overdose crisis is dangerously myopic

I’m gonna need a citation for this “sole root” claim. I have not heard either candidates claim that Mexico was the sole source of a drug that was originally manufactured and distributed by the American Sackler family through their American Purdue Pharma company.

Harris calls for increased border agents, but I don’t recall her or any member of her team ever saying anything that would link trafficking of any narcotics to immigrants.

Maybe they meant “sole focus on addressing”? Cause I’ve also not heard either candidate address the myriad of problems with the US pharmaceutical companies and the individuals who run them, other than the occasional reference to predatory pricing which has been, at best, an attempt to drain the ocean with a teacup.

Either way, in our current climate of politicized sensationsm reporting, this deminishes the legitimacy of the article for me.

An increase of CBP officers and funding is not inherently anti-immigration. It’s the usage of those agents and funds that makes that determination.

Fair point. Here’s an alternative.

Reasons people may give a shit:

• The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world’s population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.

• Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.

• Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new “Government Efficiency Commission” and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.

Threatening to impregnate a woman is not a good tactic for a man who is currently fighting a sexual harassment.

As you got better at avoiding where needles are likely to be, or

The considered ban on masks was for protesters.

The idea of not allowing anonymity for protesters has its origins in combating racial violence and the KKK. Klan members suddenly lost a lot of their motivation to assemble in public, once they had to show their faces, those that did were less likely to commit illegal acts and the ones that did break the law were more likely to face legal reprocutions.

The contemplated ban on masks for protesters in Los Angeles was considered following increased violence by masked protesters and was not motivated by covid denial.

From the article:

At first, it appeared the bread exemption applied to Panera Bread restaurants. Bloomberg News reported the change would benefit Greg Flynn, a wealthy campaign donor to Newsom. But the Newsom administration said the wage increase law does apply to Panera Bread because the restaurant does not make dough on-site. Also, Flynn has announced he would pay his workers at least $20 per hour.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman sold 500,000 shares on Monday at an average $32.30

On Monday the 25th, Reddit shares were trading between ~$49 and ~$59. The stock has not yet dropped below the initial price of $34.

Can somebody explain why these shares may have been sold below market value?

Am I expected to pay or be paid the $800?
