Musk does seem to think in terms of how much money he can get from the government for his companies. But to be fair, government subsidies are a successful strategy for entrepreneurs who want to make a lot of money. Maybe they shouldn't

Phew! I thought I was weird or something? Parks, public pools, libraries and museums are the main things we do as a family. We also live in a metro of about 1.5 M. Maybe other metro areas charge for parks, libraries and museums? Especially

look at that piece of shit, I'm glad compared to them I'm a better/smarter/etc person I mean, that’s the entire basis of human ego. That’s never going away. It’s the reason we have in-groups and out-groups. Nations and

Just, Devil's Advocate, but.. I mean.. you can create a lot of wealth for yourself by finding the bigger fool so to speak. And arguably, that's what a lot of tech IPOs are in any case, so why single out Figma for engaging in the

Just, Devil's Advocate.. but what if they think Climate science, space physics, planetary sciences, astronomy..MRNA research are "Woke"? I don't agree with them, but I do know that "Woke" means a lot of thing
