According to Musk, Twitter is busier than ever and about to start being a financial company. Why do they need advertisers in the first place? Rather than sue a bunch of advertisers why doesn’t Elon, who is clearly a once in a generation bu

Right but if everyone has to declare the wages, It becomes a competition right, so it might be clear that a company pays minimum wage and b company pays minimum wage +25% in fact I think it would be the opposite problem that to attract tale

I don’t necessarily see a correlation between voting straight ticket and not wanting direct democracy. I get what you’re saying, that people aren’t thoughtful of who they’re voting for, but in a bi-polar first past the post system, it’s nig
