> The guy is unhinged, hellbent on denial, just to appease his base, who are going bankrupt because of his policies. In the middle of a war he started over war. No less. If his base wanted cheap gas, they are not going to get it.

Well on the bright side it's a complete mask off moment for the tech community. I think it is good for these people to expose themselves to the public. They will show you who they really are if you let them. “If the broad light of day
