Apparently, that’s what the general allegedly behind it is claiming but I’m not sure I trust the word of “guy who just got arrested for leading a failed coup attempt.” But who knows?

Looks like the coup failed even faster than Trump’s and Bolsonaro’s: https://apnews.com/article/bolivia-military-deployment-arce-coup-fears-028cd88f3be1fb02164c05deb0faa099
It’s very complex and involves issues of race, religion, democracy, corruption, economics, etc. But in another way, it’s not complex: Bolivia is sitting on massive untapped lithium mines. Someone is going to get rich from that and whether it’s the people of Bolivia or oligarchs is why coups are tempting:
I don’t know who is backing the current coup, obviously, but I suspect few corporations or Western governments would be upset if a right wing party seizes power (again) despite losing the last several recent elections.
They actually called it a gratuity. Maybe not the worst ruling of all time but one of the most shameless.
Maybe the Technology Connections guy is an heir to the General Electric fortune. He certainly has a lot of access to old toasters. 🤔🧐

Incandescent light bulbs burned out at the speed they did because of an agreement between light bulb manufacturers to not make them better. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel
Early in her career, a friend worked for a white shoe law firm in NYC and she used to use Deutsche Bank as her reference point for corruption. Like, I’d go on my lil’ leftist rants about the 2008 financial crisis and she’d say, “Oh come on. They aren’t anywhere close to as bad as Deutsche Bank.”
I always wondered what fucked up things they had to be doing that they were officially The Worst Bank to corporate lawyers. And beyond that, the main part of a corporate lawyer’s job is litigation prevention and saying “No.” to the worst ideas. So, what did they want to do but get told it was so illegal, not even a giant international bank with teams of lawyers could get away with it.
Remember when the DCCC was mad at AOC and said any consultants who work with candidates trying to unseat incumbents would be blacklisted? https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/democratic-leaders-stand-firm-on-incumbent-favor-rule-rebuff-liberal-cries-of-blacklist/2019/04/02/117a7714-54bd-11e9-8ef3-fbd41a2ce4d5_story.html
GitHub owner Microsoft would never engage in IP theft of source code. They leave that to OpenAI and then rebrand it as GitHub Copilot.
Someday, we’ll have the technology to generate an image of a centaur with 4 boobs without using more energy than a small hospital. Very exciting stuff.
We’re probably never going to be able to see eye-to-eye on this since you clearly see the war as the Jewish people vs. the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, I see it is as two groups of right wing fanatics fighting each other while civilians are caught in the crossfire, at best. But to me, it looks a lot more like they’re deliberately being starved, slaughtered, and/or held hostage.
Maybe someone else on here has the time to debate a sea lion if you want to post more but it’s Taco Tuesday and I have important taco-related business to attend to.
If she’s intimidated, she should use her experience as a CrossFit instructor and get the drag queens to lift weights as fast as possible with terrible form so they all get injured.
