These guys are so scared of having to face their confusing feelings that they will go to extraordinary lengths like running for office, rising through the ranks and using their power to avoid temptation.

Just admit it to yourselves and everyone will be happier.

Not even out of spite. Out of Practical concerns about the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the factory. Any time they need to send an engineer from Korea or need to have inspections etc their workers are at risk of detainment. Even if they had a100% American workforce which is unlikely, they’d need to send staff from Korea every now and then. The US just told them there are better countries to operate in where such things won’t happen.

If it is only about feeling safe as opposed to actually being safe then I think this would not change things much.

Psychopaths are very good at getting people to trust them which would imply feeling safe also. Common things they end up doing are becoming CEO’s, or serial killers largely as a result of that trait. Of course there are exceptions.

You have 2. The top layer is different from the other white layers because it has melted cheese on top. Simple

Intel never deserved trust. They rigged the game by cheating on benchmark tests and deserve the karma they are currently enjoying.

I guess the average consumer would not be very aware of Intel being so shitty, but now everyone has a reason to be wary of them.

I’m not sure that is the best idea because if they do get caught, they will never be released

Hey! This is a no logic zone. You are just supposed to be outraged, you aren’t supposed to think it through. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People like him don’t draw the straight line between his actions and consequences like this. There is always some external faction trying to stop him doing good work. This way he never has to face up to his actions being unpopular. He gets to frame it in his head as if he is a crusader being challenged by evil forces. The day one of these guys says “man people really don’t like what I’m doing, maybe I should rethink my policies” is the day hell freezes over.

Ideally, so few people sign up on principle that it is hugely embarrassing for him. They’d have to call it “Not tesla” to stand half a chance.

Unfortunately not everyone can afford principles in this world and I wouldn’t blame them for signing up if tesla’s strategy is to buy market share but I would hope that if tesla pricing is normal, they get shunned.

Will that may be true in itself, but why does he fixate on gold in his decor? I’d argue it is about the projection of success. His hotels for instance, he wants them to be seen to be the best in the world so he puts gold everywhere in sight because in his simplistic view, money equals success and gold is the most visual representation of money without actually being money. Just my take on the why behind him liking shiny gold things. He’s just importing it to the white house now.

I’m sure the homeless in DC are all republicans, so they undoubtedly have truth social installed on their iPhones and are patiently waiting for their orders. In fact with all the jobs created in this booming economy the homeless already left to start their new careers at the new factories, right?

If you are intelligent you wouldn’t need to talk about it because, people would know it from your thoughts and actions.

If you are a good leader you wouldn’t need to talk about it because there would be more people following you than protesting you.

If you are good at making deals you wouldn’t need to talk about it because you’d have a stack of deals to prove it.

If you are good at business you wouldn’t need to talk about it because you would have a lot more successful companies than bankrupt companies in your history.

Etc etc etc.

This smacks of “look how well things are going !! If things were going badly would we be able to afford all this gold?”

Beware the man who is eager to tell you how good they are at something.

Is there a place where these accounts are collected? Every time someone says they are getting rid of the worst criminals. The list of costly and obviously not criminals should be recited.

There was a comedy TV show on British TV in the 80s and 90s called red dwarf. There is one episode called justice where there is a prison with a justice field.

If you steal something, something of yours goes missing. If you attack someone, the injuries affect you not them. Etc.etc.

I sometimes wish it was a real thing. Countries that deny climate change and do nothing to address it should feel all of the consequences while everyone else get only the share they deserve according to their culpability and how much they have done to stop it.

Funny aside, I think it’s more about preventing escape

In fact I was thinking earlier that these guys are on the verge of successfully rebranding the term “alpha male” to mean a cry baby who acts like an entitled child when they don’t get their way.

P.s. I don’t mean to imply they are the only ones who do things like this, but it is generally the case that it is more likely than not

I was going to guess he was a Republican but I opened the article and loo and behold… He is.

That Republicans try to say they are the ones on the right side of things ever is just ludicrous.

My point was that it doesn’t even need to function at all.

Well that’s really it.

You only need to say you are going to do something so Trump gets his headline. There is no need to actually follow through. I think companies are starting to realise that.

It would be embarrassing for Trump to admit if the investment doesn’t happen or if jobs aren’t coming back. So the office of fake statistics will swing into action to make claims.

Tend to agree. The FDA seems to have been too easily influenced by business interests in recent years. Until now FDA approval was like a gold standard in safety but I think I trust the EU to make these kinds of decisions now. In general the EU now seems to be first to ban chemicals on the basis of safety. It’s possible they are overly strict but I prefer too strict over too lax when it comes to things like this.
