Why is the news media incapable of talking about anything other than Elon Musk? It's boring. *sigh*
He's a powerful rich man that is driven by an actual goal outside the collection of power. They can't ignore him because he's going to make history one way or another and as I've pointed out before that breaks their End-of-History frame of reference.
 
All things considered, it has been a slow news week, even if thread activity doesn't suggest it. Elon is the replacement for Orange Man in the news cycle.
It would be a lot less slow if the news would talk about the Democrat Party imploding over the continuing resolution, or Biden not actually issuing pardons and his staffers doing it (rather than sperging about a fucking autopen), but such is life.

Or if they ever mention anything Trump did that can't be spun as a bad thing.

Honestly the more they refuse to report on actual news the more people will tune out. No wonder why they needed USAID to stay solvent
 
Oh dear God that wasn't a joke...

I wonder how many Indians they can hire for the same price as a single US citizen? Because from what I'm seeing argued, AAA titles are so big and complex they have to spend insane amounts of money to make them, and that's why games are $70 now.

But then I see this credit scroll and think "with all those Indians they probably saved lots of money, why should the price go up if they are outsourcing to bring costs down?"

It's all retarded arguments to justify greed.
 
Government transparency (releasing the Epstein files unredacted)
Disentangling from foreign influence and political ties that are problematic - 'America First' (refusing to continue Israel-first policies/rhetoric)
Helping the American worker (ending H-1B and other associated programs)
Bringing down inflation (committing to government shutdowns and not signing spending bills)
Anti-DEI (averting working with Larry Fink, CEO of DEI, and others like him)

I'm increasingly weary of this shit not being addressed. The shit that actually matters.
It’s already being addressed behind the scenes, the media isn’t reposting on it because A: they want to demoralize the opposition, and B: they’re way too distracted focusing on other bullshit as we have seen which is the whole point.

And I'm increasingly weary also of the parallels between lefty worship of their false idols and the worship of Trump against his failings, by the 'conservative' right.

I just pray every single one of the 20+ million who gave Trump a chance to avoid Harris - or more accurately what she represented - are also seeing through this stupid bullshit.
That’s literally just a left-wing media talking point to try and turn people off. There’s the worship or false idols and it’s a shame you fell for that narrative.
If this post makes you angry it's because it made you hit one of your
and I refuse to apologize for it.
Sounds like someone’s projecting their anger.

Game prices haven't kept up with inflation. Wait until you find out how much gas and milk have gone up since 2005.

A really rough estimate based on minimum wage is that the Indians can be 30% the cost of an American employee, however you'd need at least three to five Indian employees to do the same work plus one American one to look over it and check mistakes. It's basically a matter of CEOs being penny pinchers who are too stupid to actually do the math and realize it would be cheaper to just hire one skilled American.
 
Judge Boasberg has set a hearing for 14:30 today (Friday) as he felt the responses to his questions by the DoJ were "insufficient". He is demanding a "cabinet level member with full knowledge of the facts" report to the hearing to answer his questions.

He has said he will use the "FULL array of legal powers vested in his position to enforce adherence. Upto and not limited to filing contempt charges against Trump if his requests are not fullfilled"

Do it faggot, try to charge Trump with contempt for not obeying your ridiculous request. good luck finding a bailiff or sheriff to enforce those warrants. I think were about to have a Andrew Jackson moment here as this Democrat judge fully believes he has the power to put Trump in prison for not obeying his orders.

Fun times ahead!

"Addressed behind the scenes".

Non-sequitur.

I voted 'for' the man thrice. Throwing this accusation at me really only reifies my point. It's not 'falling for a narrative' to notice that you and your ilk will continue to ignore these problems because you worship an adulterer.
Sounds like someone’s projecting their anger.
"I'm rubber, you're glue!". Laughable given you keep, in your ass-maddery, giving me tophats like it means anything. Lmao.

Like I said (and as expected of you because of this):
illogical, overly-emotional, overly-sentimental sheep for whom independent, truly independent, thought is an unattainable goal
The best you have is 'trust the plan bro!'.

And its source is your incapacity to accept truth. I'll bring this up in three months and we'll see how he's progressed. I wonder if you'll still be willing in that time to proffer the excuse that things are being handled in some mysterious hidden way that runs counter to all observable evidence, to protect yourself from the cognitive dissonance that erupts when anyone who voted against Clinton, then Biden, then Harris rather than for Trump, begins to point out the current failings of his administration.

My first thought was with this many cooks in the kitchen the code must have insane amounts of spaghetti. How do you coordinate a literal army of Indian programmers?
