Elon Musk should face arrest if he incited UK rioters, says ex-Twitter chief

Reply in thread

They should be running their own server where they have complete control over the content. I hate that public entities rely so much on third party services when their own websites get neglected. Like, I went to your website for info, but then find I have to go to Twitter or FB or whatever to find updates. And then Musk rat has a fit in the K hole and blocks stuff or tweaks the interface to mess shit up somehow and poof, it's gone until he wakes up one of his engineers to fix it.

Trump is a threat whether he wins or loses, Biden says

Reply in thread

His ideas are concerning and the confidence with which he goes about expressing them, even more so.

What gives me relief is the piss poor execution and the incompetent people he surrounds himself with. He has turned and burned so many loyalist of his that he is left scraping the barrel. His campaign is rule by clowns and he surrounds himself in an echo camber of social media and poltical personalities. Even if he were to win, it will crumble, much like his many many businesses, as their is no foundation.

Even if Harris wins, it's not like there is some magic utopia her administration will create. I do wish Trump wasn't such a distraction so we could have meaningful conversations about public policy that matters instead of talking about crowd sizes and where someone's parents were born.

FTC head wants investigation into grocery stores over inflated prices

As a consumer, probably not much and definitely not fast.

However, in the context of the Albertson and Kroger merger, it could cast shade on that case and impact the outcome.

So I guess, optimistically, we can hope it slows our capitalistic death march towards monopolistic consolidation of businesses.
