    Charming?

    Jump

  • they failed to imagine a scenario where corporations would eclipse governments in the capability to wield raw power

    I'm pretty sure the power of the East India Company exceeded that of some governments.

    • Donald Trump will not win a war against the Swifties

  • I'm not sure that would really make this any less stupid.

    • Republican candidate Nikki Haley was targeted in second swatting attempt

  • But in the real world where democracy in America is close to shattering, there’s no way she wins a general.

    I think they were talking about winning the primary if Trump is disqualified.

    • It's not that MAGA doesn't believe E. Jean Carroll — they just don't care that Trump abuses women

  • Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.

    I guess he didn't do a very good job of it.

  • All of my encounters with individuals who feel liberal arts are useless and STEM is the way seem to, at their core, feel that way because of earning potential

    You were saying a group of people believe that value as a person is determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance.

    Now you're saying that this group of people believe that value as a person is determined by earnings potential. Those are not the same things.

    • Biden offers fresh assurances he would shut down border 'right now' if Congress sends him a deal

    Jump

  • a person's intrinsic value and overall value to society is not determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance

    I don't think anyone who views contributions in STEM fields as the most valuable to society has any respect for finance.
