They are/were. The pilots’ union ratfucked them in the Reagan years and they never recovered because, ya know, the rest of the Reagan years.

Can’t wait for the Torment Nexus 35.

Normally that’s not really an accusation anonymous people should use on the Internet, but the man’s so cringingly servile I don’t think anyone can deny the accuracy.

Profits are higher than ever, but line must go up so you’re all fired.

I had a guy whose pitch was “Ok, you’re the president.”

That was the game idea. The whole thing.

“Ok, I did the overall plot. Who’s doing the dialogue?”

Alleged witness murderer Kevin Spacey?

Imagine pretending you don’t understand the value of PR and propaganda in a war.

The irony is that he was affected by his intended policy. Most conservatives rather notably don’t make policies that will do that.

Satire is frequently ironic. The irony in this case is that he was turned away by his own policy.

TikTok had $18b in revenue last year.

They’re not going to cease operating. They’re going to spend $17b on lawyers.

There’s a reason you couldn’t actually talk about the ARPU, and that’s because an American user is worth literally 7x more than a Chinese user on average. Which is why TikTok had a revenue of 16.1b in 2023, with a growing user base, and ByteDance’s total revenue was 40.8b.

Depends on intent, motivation, and the level of negligence. Literally, there’s a sliding scale.

HIPAA violations can come with jail time btw

Unless you’re only a person when it comes to bribing Congress

There was an old racist behind this idea.

Bullshit, they’re bluffing at best.

Average revenue per user is a pretty common industry benchmark, and the US absolutely slaughters the rest of the world. We’re the fat, dumb, brainwashed cows the advertisers can’t get enough of.

Is that really justified, or an example of selection bias?

Does it matter to a shareholder?

The craziest thing is it was already overvalued, Elon got “forced” into selling at peak, and then tanked the company he bought with it too. Just unreal clown behavior.

Seems more like he’s combining it with a quote:

“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyways.”

Space X which he owns a controlling stake in, unlike Tesla.
