    It's wild how the system is such that if you're big enough you can win by default through burying the opposition, or delay things indefinitely so they they never actually face a consequence. It's unfortunate that the patent system is so commonly used to fight innovation and competition, and it's exploited to steal once you're big enough

    Ya know, when it comes to reliable sources.... Idk if you're gonna get honest reporting using turning point usa, an organization that helped fund the rally on Jan6 before they stormed the Capitol, and bussed in a bunch of people who were later charged and arrested. But hey, don't let me stop y'all from reading propaganda posted exclusively at 2AM. Let me know what the Jan6 people tell y'all what to think

    I mean it's pretty funny that the guy being ID'd is named "Volodymyr Z." Hell yeah the president dove down there! I bet he had a knife between his teeth and everything Edit: /s, in case it wasn't apparent

    @TwiceHorn what's your thoughts on this "lol k we'll pay the fine" scheme of business plan?
  5. Captainant
    Lol such substantive policy discussion that's totally apolitical amirite. Why is the business board losing readers again?

    Man I thought I was on the business board for a minute reading that meme

    Have they checked Martha's Vineyard?

    I know we're not technically at war, but this feels real like giving aid and comfort to the enemy

    That makes sense - I'm AT&T wireless and home fiber and yarn embeds always appear as text links to me

    That's a goiter that would make stoops blush

    Nobody is saying price controls except for you. And besides, aren't you persona non grata on surly after your antics pumping russian propaganda in the Ukraine war thread?

    It's no Kursk offensive by the AFU, but it's interesting and going to further constrain russia now that China is no longer processing russian payments https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-all-china-banks-refuse-yuan-ruble-transfers-sanctions-2024-8 Sanctions are working, and their loopholes are slowing getting closed off

    Man, GRUhorn where are you getting "price controls" from? That hasn't been mentioned anywhere in anyone's policy statements (as far as I'm aware).

    I think it's that, plus interest rates going up (from the COVID baseline) is really going to amp up driver loan delinquency rates. Those guys already had a hard time keeping their trucks when loans were damn near free, I can't imagine that it's easier now to be a truck operator, which puts even more strain on the trucking companies

    Wow it's so weird how he keeps doing what he accuses other companies of doing. Reminds me of one of his recent interviewees

    https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/nasa-acknowledges-it-cannot-quantify-risk-of-starliner-propulsion-issues/ Tldr: NASA and Boeing still cannot definitively identify the cause of the failure and that uncertainty does not pair well with manned spaceflight. Whoopsie poopsie

    This isn't the thread to talk the policy but I did link the law a few posts up and pointed out my specific issue is that the signed law in the books explicitly gives the teachers immunity for violating the establishment clause. That's a pretty goddamn clear statement of intent.

    their CEO recently remarked that it was an "accident" that portion sizes had been getting systemically smaller. It started out as a meme that the company brushed off, but they eventually addressed on an earnings call

    lulz maybe they drank all the coolant on the TU-22 Apparently most of the soviet aircraft were raided for their ethanol working fluids

    Man you'd think even with using child labor they'd be able to eke out better than losing money
