Or all billionaires are scum who have written the laws and ensured that the fine for this is no more than an annoyance and removing the sign without a permit was a worthwhile risk and the right call to make.

IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn’t even figured out what to call tweets and retweets

Obviously Tweet -> Xeet 💩

Best part is that the LEDs for “twit” now shine really bright at night.

There are multiple stories like that from several people.

Apparently there were people at Tesla who were effectively employed to get fired when he was in one of his moods.

And if you read enough of the stories it all comes down to basically a single PA who kept him away from important things. And that person stopped working for him shortly before the public realized what an asshole he is.

And after learning that, I can't stop wondering who they work for now... And I want to see a show based on their biography.

Man, I was strangely impressed with Tumblr these days until I scrolled two.posts down and it froze me out because I wasn't signed in

He didn't pay for a permit to do so. The police are there to protect capital, but under clearly-defined rules. Anyone who isn't a fuckwit knows to pay the city its fees before doing something like this.

When JPMorgan Chase buys out a smaller bank, they apply for the permit in triplicate and pay all the fees, then make a donation to the Fraternal Order of Police. The cops then show up to attack protestors.

I call it Xitter, using the Chinese pronunciation of Xi.

They haven't been paying their rent anyways, so I'm not sure why they bothered to change the sign.

Guessing less about the sign itself and more about the heavy equipment/traffic obstruction involved in getting it down.

I wonder why the landlord who has been stiffed repeatedly wouldn’t sign off. Hmm…
