But without annexing TJ, you can’t force that money to be spent correctly or for anti-pollution laws to be enforced. Mexico has more than enough money to solve this issue, the problem is that they don’t want to.

This theme has been repeated a bunch over the last 10 years or so. Google has been in a constant state of decline since the employment surge in the back half of 2010s culminating with a hiring fervor in 2020 that diluted out all of the extr

It doesn’t really have anything to do with HN. It’s anyone who cares about the truth. Stuff that sounds believable because it “sounded good” and was argued by charismatic people plagued medicine until shockingly recently. It’s human nature

This isn’t true. There are countless cases of people surviving for months on nearly no food at all. I’m not talking about what it takes to stay alive for long term periods. I was refuting the silly idea that you would die after a couple of

The board and shareholders are not made of CEOs. They are compensating the CEO highly because it’s giving them stock returns. If that correlation doesn’t exist, then investors should be able to easily drive CEO comp way down.

Some people don’t want to get drunk or buy a whole case.

This isn’t a correct assumption. I buy one or two singles to drink at home when I don’t feel like committing to a whole six pack. And I buy them cold because I want them right when I get home. Not after an hour of cooling down in the fridge

Thats not perjury. Having subsidiaries that hold assets is quite common. But those subsidiaries don’t have any employees or normal corporate structure. That’s why I’m saying Starlink Services isn’t a “company”.

It is not a separate company in any meaningful sense. The job listings for Starlink all clearly say you are working for spacex and you are granted RSUs in spacex. “Starlink services” was probably legal prep in case they ever wanted to sell
