A sobering experience. This congresswoman of color disagrees but I guess an old white fart like yourself knows better. looking forward to hearing more about what you are up to this weekend. I’m sure it’s fascinating.

I’m sure it’s fascinating. it's complicated...my feeling is if one is referring only to Africans, it is often considered derogatory. If applied to all nonwhites, it's a descriptive acceptable term. But I'm surprised that you take issue.... https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/08/colored-person-versus-person-of-color-how-does-society-decide-which-racial-terms-are-acceptable.html

You don’t have to defend yourself here. You should try to educate the congresswoman.
BillsFanNC Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Could go in transsurrection thread, but I appreciate Elon citing the data.
B-Man Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion when it was worth half that He cut 80% of the workforce that was not doing anything useful, unwavering against angry cries. He used the data to create xAI, which is now valued at $75 billion. X is now sustainably profitable for the first time, raising money recently at a $44 billion valuation — but this time it’s actually worth that , and has a 25% stake in xAI. Through his acquisition, he unseated the President of the United States of America. He changed the lives of X creators by introducing revenue share. Everyone laughed at him, mocked him, and attacked him for this acquisition. Look how it’s turned out so far. Now he wants to apply this formula to the federal government, and you ***** idiots want to murder him? You want to kill America’s leading clean energy and technology company? You prefer the status quo of multi trillion dollar deficits? You prefer spending more on INTEREST on the national debt than we do on national defense? You realize that the federal government ran fine in the past without multi trillion dollar deficits right? We used to actually have a budget surplus. How did something Democrats used to support under Obama and Clinton turn into something that makes Democrats want to start a terror campaign? This is why we can’t have nice things. God bless the DOGE team for trying to do what’s right for our children and grandchildren in the face of so much hatred. 1

ONLY by including FICA revenues as general revenue was there a surplus. And those have ALWAYS been earmarked to be spent as payments to retired workers since they day the government collected them. The national debt increased in those years that we had "surpluses" while 42 was in office.

Taro T Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Just now, B-Man said: This is true, but it was hardly the point of the post about Elon. Didn't say it was the point of the post. But that claim that there were "surpluses in the late 90's" is a personal pet peeve. 1
B-Man Posted March 31 Posted March 31 GRATEFUL: Watch Rescued Astronauts Express Gratitude to President Trump and Elon Musk
Homelander Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Look at these people fawning over a guy who can’t even take care of his own kids. Today's Republican Party, of course.

Big Blitz Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 The commies are burning his cars and dealerships. If you find yourself hating Elon - you just might be on the wrong team. All you care about is power.

If you find yourself hating Elon - you just might be on the wrong team. All you care about is power. You don’t think the hate stems from his own actions? After cutting thousands of jobs (and spoiler: those aren’t just numbers on a report - they are people’s lives) he took to the stage laughing like a maniac holding a chainsaw celebrating it. Do I think jobs needed to be cut? Do I think there was fat? 100% of course. Do I understand why people hate this man for the way he did it to appease the lowest of the low? 100% of course. Edit: can’t believe I have to actually say this, but so I also think anyone burning, defacing, or otherwise destroying Tesla property should be held responsible? 100% of course.
