  • Why is it hedge funds managers can consider compensation a long-term capital gain taxed at about half of what we wage earners pay?
  • Why is it that billionaires mostly pay no tax, unless they are dumb enough to liquidate equity to buy Twitter?
  • Why not just let AIG Financial Products division go bankrupt and settle with Deutchesbank & Goldman Sachs?
Instead, we are upset about stuff that doesn't matter.

CAn you do anything about any of those other than "sak questions"? Nope. And we can't do anything about the stupidity of the advertising department at ImBev... but it is fun to argue about.

There are plenty of women that aren’t amused.

Twitter was being used as an informational weapon. Elon bought Twitter to save freedom of speech. He believed “Cancel Culture” was becoming a virus to society.

You can't really believe that, can you? Elon's been personally nuking Twitter accounts that annoy him since he took over.-

This! It will never end until we quit talking and making a big deal about it. Racial tensions are the worst they have been since the 60s, fueled by the divide and conquer crowd. I wish we would stick to being an airline.

According to the AP, if you capitalize the "w" in white, you're a white supremacist.

I wasn’t going to weigh in on this dumpster fire. You run in some odd circles if you haven’t heard negative feedback on men playing dress up and invading women’s spaces.

trying to conflate the budlight brand with the ownership of the manufacturing company is a big brain move. If bud light completely fails brand wise and sales move to modelo (sp?) and mich ultra can we expect you to pretend savvy customers were suddenly overwhelmed by range of products abinbev offers and just accidently abandoned bud light because there were more inclusive beers? Im sure you can pretend but will anyone believe it?

Weapon?

Civility and respect for the law are virtues.

I listened to the clip you posted. What is happening to Elon as he ages without anyone in his life to moderate his inclinations is sad.
