Now watch as Dems throw their support behind the independent in order to undermine Zohran.
Oh, stop your complaining. It’s not perfect, but we’ve all seen how easy this is to fix. Just barge into Tesla tomorrow and randomly fire 20% of the employees. That’s how real leaders get things done.

Man, if only someone could have predicted that this AI craze was just another load of marketing BS.

This experience has taught me more about CEO competence than anything else.
So, have any of you ever been in Ikea during a fire alarm?
We were shopping in an Ikea a year or so ago, in the furniture section. It's just a bit past the entrance to "the maze". A screeching fire alarm goes off. For about 10 minutes, everyone -- including the Ikea employees -- just ignore it and continue doing whatever. Then the Ikea employees start saying, "Please exit the store" or somesuch. That's when I dawns on me that exiting the store is not as easy as it sounds. We could see no marked fire exits. The employees just said the "follow the arrows".
Everyone knows how hard it is to get through an Ikea at the best of times. What about during a fire alarm? Well, I'm looking for the "shortcuts", but they are not clearly marked. We do make it to a stairwell (I've been in this store a few times) and manage to avoid traversing the entire top and bottom floors. We're faced with a pair of big doors marked, "Not an exit" or somesuch. We push through those doors and they dump us out at the front of the store, near the registers.
Now we're at the front of the store, with no idea how to get out. Toward the front of the store, we see some exit doors. We try to push them open, but they're blocked by carts on the outside. We finally get the carts pushed out of the way and people pour out into a small parking area. Note, that this Ikea has a parking garage under the store, so if the building were actually on fire, we'd be fucked because this second-level parking area we're standing in is very close to the building and gives no easy exit to the ground and away from the building.
If there was actually a fire with smoke, people would have panicked and it would have been a deadly shit-show getting out.
Fuck going to that Ikea again.
So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?
I legit got an e-mail from Facebook telling me that I should join Facebook because “no one uses e-mail anymore”. Ummmm…..well someone must be still using e-mail and No.
Is she saying that she's a tight-ass?
Oh no! His salary was slashed 50% to only $9M?!?!? How does the poor dear survive?
Most of us survive on less than 1% of that. Yay! We're One Percenters!
Every time I see these “We’ll do X in/around the ocean” projects I think, “These people have not spent a lot of time near the ocean.”
Is that the Striped RAID I keep hearing about?

My how things have changed over the years! Why, when I was a young girl, we didn't have the internet. When we wanted to turn a light on, we had to write a letter to Ford Motor Co. (They were the tech of the day.) I'd write, "Dear Mr. Ford, please give us permission to turn on our light in the dining room." Of course then we'd have to find a stamp, then walk the letter down to the nearest post office. (That was faster than waiting for the mailman to pick it up from the neighborhood mail box.) Sure enough, 6 weeks later we'd receive a reply saying, "Fine, turn on the light in the dining room." The postman delivered mail in the morning, so we had to wait until dark to all gather around in the dining room and turn on the light with great ceremony.
We never understood why we needed to get permission from a company far away to turn on a light switch, but we were patriotic Americans, so we knew better than to question the process.
