Suction machines are used to remove excess mucus from the sinuses and throat in medical settings. The public should not use these machines because you can accidentally stimulate a nerve in your throat that can cause your heart to slow, beat irregularly, or stop.
New CEO --> layoffs ----> line go up ----> ops, not genius after all ----> deploy golden parachute.
Consumer goods become cheaper through innovation and economies of scale. Freeze drying is a mature technology with limited appeal.
My wish is to take my dollar and by one share of Tesla at market price.
The beating heart of American progressiveism: San Fransisco where the residents would rather kill the poor than inconvenience everyone else. If only you could patch a caved in skull with a pussy hat...
And then there was that bogus article that said Argentina had lowered it's inflation to 2% and you find out in the article that's monthly inflation and the yearly figure was like 190%.
Musk’s abrupt firing of the team initially seemed like a display of power—a way to assert control and show he could make tough decisions in the face of investor pressure.
This is justification for wrecking 500 employee's lives? So he could show he's a tough business boy? In order to reassure people who've gotten over 50% returns for a decade? In a company that's "worth" more than the GDP of Saudi Arabia?
Investor confidence is so important to Musk because he knows Tesla is a bubble.
If France was a gun it'd obviously be pointed at England.
There are two genres of capitalist optimism.
one is the "it's going to be different this time baby I swear" and the other is "prayer to an angry god". This piece obviously is of the former category.
Jon Stewart hasn't changed, and that's the problem. As far as his comedy, no notes. He's undeniably funny. But his politics just leave a sour taste. His enlightened centrist voice of reason shtick hits different now.
He's defended people like Rogan and Chapelle. And I get it, they're his buddies. He doesn't see them as public figures, but as flawed individuals. And that's a valid perspective, just a rarefied one.
His first guest upon his return was the editor of The Economist magazine who gushed about Reaganomics and Thatcherism. She framed the rise of right-wing politics in the West as first and foremost a threat to the neoliberal world order as Jon nodded along. And we all know that progressiveism is just the other side of the horseshoe to people who think this way.
I'll be watching Stewart, and I really do admire him. But never meet your heroes I guess.
They have a clear mandate from misogynists.
