Bakula just hit the Archer casting too perfectly. The man just exudes boy scout, it's what made Quantum Leap work too.

As if the Democrats would do a damn thing. They had four fucking years to put nails in Trump's coffin and couldn't do anything for fear of their corporate masters being denied the same grifts.

Hear hear. This has Ankh Morpork written all over it.

Eh, 1% includes like 80 million people globally, they're not all useless billionaires. There are probably a good number of them (likely towards the lower end of the spectrum) that actually work for a living and enough existing resources they'd have time to rework society.

The real question I have is how they'd be distributed. 1% globally or 1% per country/region. Both have advantages and disadvantages for survival.

The actual total in your own link was 5.2 million for executives. The 88 million is, again, the entire salary base just in 2021. Assuming they still had 700 employees (which is a current figure, not 3 years ago) that's still about 120k apiece for everyone else.

I can't tell if you're just being disingenuous or you really can't read your own sources...

That salary number is all ~700 employees, not just "executives". That averages to about 150k apiece, not unreasonable for what is probably mostly tech workers.

I've only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?

As the old saying goes: soap box, ballot box, ammo box in that order.

It's possible that it's not supported on your arch.

I agree that a primary probably still ends up with Kamala and would probably just be the illusion of choice. The DNC would close ranks around her in the name of Biden's legacy, just like they did for Biden back in 2020 when the vote was splitting in Bernie's favor, and in 2016 when it was obvious they just wanted to coronate Hillary and move on.

That said, even with a rigged primary, putting your candidate on the debate stage to address your constituents instead of skipping directly to fellating non-existent centrists in the general would have been good.

Cheers to that, fellow Texas drunk

Texas is incredibly resource rich, even if the people who live here are generally fuck faces.
