How else do you convince bureaucrats and purse string holders that you are vital and need a bigger budget for next year?

If Apple can become a $2t company by convincing people that buying the same product as all your friends is “thinking different” anything is possible.

In the declining years of his career perhaps he’s combative with everyone on purpose.

“Just cancel me”, does he think there’s someone somewhere that decides who is unacceptable to the public?

He wants to create a controversy just so his name can be in the news, all publicity is good publicity when you sell spectacle.

Yeah the state doesn’t worry about the homeless as a threat to authority. Where have you ever seen the homeless in organised political action?

There’s no mainstream liberal media. There’s establishment/billionaire media that panders to the cultural issues of the left in order to contain it in anything that involves taxing the billionaires or anything consequential.

Captured regulatory oversight is also a recipe for disaster in anything let alone nuclear.

He’s just a grifter like the vast majority of conservatism globally.

It’s pure and utter nonsense. If that was orthodoxy or even good sense no company would exist. You have no sales as a new company do you have 0 staff or do you need to hire people to build product and make sales before you have ever sold anything? The company sales increase by 10,000% by going from 1 sale to 100 do you increase your workforce by 10,000% too?
The man’s brain is cheese from the drugs.

When Berkshire Hathaway owns both sides of the coin why would you sue yourself?

Since conservatism has run out of governing ideas all they have are wedges - anything to get the workers to fight each other instead of focusing their anger on the rich.

To be fair, plenty of sex tapes have leaked or “leaked” with a lot of noise over the years, very few people have translated them to massive wealth (games, reality shows, modelling, branding, appearances etc). Whoever is managing them (their mum perhaps?) is very smart in at least that they know how to leverage opportunity, and they’re smart enough to listen to that person.

All that can be true and they still don’t make the person investigator, judge and executioner. I guess we’ll see what the defence says at the trial - I’m assuming “feared for his personal safety” will feature heavily.

It’s not real unless it happens to them.

It’s quite painfully transparent seeing the fyp page filled with videos immediately agreeing or cheering whatever the Chinese gov has decided their agenda is this month. And of course you need to go hunting to find the mildest of criticism of Chinese gov policies and absolutely nothing on individual high ranking members of CCP.

If they’re willing to put them in jail then the state is already willing to pay for their housing and healthcare.

I bet it’s cheaper to build housing than keeping the same person in prison for a non-crime such as living rough.

Oh wait there are some studies already
