Yeah. In this case it’s the resort town not wanting to provide living wages or housing for their contingent workforce.

This isn’t uncommon, there are deferral programs for student loans but these typically come with compounding interest (basically, your payments are covered each month by an additional loan which gets added to the principle).

In both cases it’s millennials. It’s even called “millennial grey.”

FDIC wasn’t on the hook for much of the SVB deposits because they were over the insurance limit, until they realized that wealthy people were going to lose money and retroactively decided to pony up.

This is the entire Adam Curtis documentary on hypernormalization:

One has to assume that his original plan was to “buy” it then stiff them on the bill.

Ghost of Christmas Future bud.

“Everyone may be surprised to learn that our car didn’t just explode on its own. We can prove it using the spy camera recordings we have of the owner!”

Nah he’s not a white collar criminal who destroyed the lives of millions.

Biden might be willing to posthumously pardon Brian Thompson for his insider trading crimes though.

The wedge already exists. The Trump people started leaking that Elon is a seagull less than 3 days after the election. The problem is that Elon paid for Trump’s victory and he’s continuing to throw money around.

The sick thing about modern tankies is the authoritarians they support these days are even communists. In the case of Russia, not even in name.

There’s a certain nobleness in supporting Khrushchev as he invades Hungary because Khrushchev actually thought he was working to achieve communism.

Anarchists find it really hard to support despotic regimes even when they’re opposing the USA.

Next time they pick a patsy for a guy with distinctive eyebrows they should find a guy with the same eyebrows.

“Invading” is a curious word to use when the US military is already the main military presence on the island.

You’re overthinking it.

In any case, The USA already controls Greenland in every way that matters from a strategic perspective, and has since the 40s.

Tesla is the new BMW and nobody’s using those buttons.

You’d probably have to lie between them instead of just looking at a photo, to assess if it’s still possible.

Clearly they were put there with the intention of making it difficult/uncomfortable to lie down on the subway vent. If they were installed incompetently that doesn’t make them unhostile though, it just makes them ineffective for their obviously intended purpose.

Also the future is bleak in the poly-crisis.
