Me too... well using linux is technically opting out to that right?

Yeah I would second the view, if it weren't for decades of the opposite of the DNC bending over backwards for it's incumbants. If they had a history of staying neutral and not regularly backing the incumbents. But as they do... then the opposite needs to happen.

He needs to step away from everything until people forget about him. Him being involved in any company will not help that company.

My thoughts exactly... Tesla isn't falling appart because Musk has been too busy to help it. It's because Musk is associated with tesla and he's basically pissing off anyone that might buy an electric car.

There honestly isn't a solution for the company going under beyond...

1. Sell Tesla to someone with a good reputation.
2. Give up any means of trying to be a free market system, and pivot tesla entirely to being government funded.

I mean, just in general he was a genious, but also like many geniouses, he fell prey to a shit ton of nonsense. From how I understand it, he spent equal time and believed in equal importance on his study of physics, alchemy and finding hidden codes in numerology of the bible.

Sense of humor and personality, no clue, don't think that generally is super strongly carried in surviving literature.

With the one possible exception that Musk sells a large enough portion of his shares that not only does he not guide it, but no longer gains significant percentage of it's profits.

I don't think they are the "new" anything... LGBT will be the new jews... I'm pretty sure autistic people will have their same place in the new reich that they did in the old one.

Next will be ADHD people... and I'm sure they all will be sent with a camp, that will help them focus... a concentration camp if you will.

Well yeah, liar is going to lie... but worth at least pointing out, he's claiming we'll make it up in tax savings... but then he's raising taxes on us.

Has he actually explained a plan to even "cut our taxes" because if I recall every tax proposal that's come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

I mean, all the events leading to trump winning the first time seemed far fetched... and the second time... insane. Honestly it was over half way into the 2016 general that I realized... oh shit this isn't just a meme and a joke of people ironically saying they support this lunatic, there's actually enough serious supporters that he could win.

You'd think there's not much reason for that... I mean, the god they believe in famously selected a lot of unqualified crazy people. Noah an alchoholic, David couldn't keep it in his pants, and had to arrange the death of one of his best soldiers to deal with it.

"Why should I trust a bunch of randos with it? Why should I give them my password? […]"

lol that right there you should respond no one should have your PASSWORD (singular) to begin with. Companies large and small have data breaches all the time. If the same password is on more than 5-10 sites, you should assume it's been compromised by now, and explain that they need a password manager.

Far as it goes with professional companies, we are talking public posting social media, the differences between them are all public, the biggest thing is what they chose to censor. Twitters cool with letting nazi's speak, but censoring the left. Most lemmy instances are the opposite, but there even are lemmy instances that are backwards with that.. which is the point. We all have differing oppinions on where the line should be drawn on acceptable speech, Being able to custom pick one of 50 groups is more likely to find one that works for you, than picking one of 3 social media giants that will have their own rules.

Only if he admits that a mistake was made. Doesn't matter if it's his own, trumps or any other members still in the inner circle... as long as everyone keeps sticking to the "witch hunt", "nothing happened" approach

Have to say the same... kind of better to go to many sources...

Now if we are talking people like Kyle etc... IMO he does fairly well, but yeah as with all news sources, get a wide variety of sources, because all sources have something that make them worse.

I don't exactly see how "talk to your representative" is really useful advice. I mean write, call and do whatever you can to try and influence them... but it's worth noting depending on where you live, whether your representative is going to be honest with you, or give a shit what you have to say, are absolutely variables.

IMO I doubt there's actually theft of the savings... there's some real chaos. but the savings numbers are all made up with no tie to reality. Moneys not stolen, because the savings were never real... dude's managing to shut down half the functions of the government, lay off hundreds of thousands of people... and failing to reduce costs in the process.

Exactly, brought back as quickly as we can bring back people who are sent there by mistake.

finding this post through my selfhosted freshrss server :). absolute game changer both for convenience and managment of everything.

I think all of congress should be required to go to El Salvadore, as well as trump and all of his cabinet.

Anyone who thinks things are fine there, should have to stay there for one week... then be brought back ASAP.

The problem with carville and these "left" people... is that the party HAS BEEN distancing themselves. They have been avoiding talking about the topics unless specifically asked. The problem is the right makes it their pillar, so the media specifically asks them. Leaving candidates with the choice of "express support in peoples rights to be themselves" or "oppose their rights to be themselves".

The right won't leave the option to "distance", because they will make sure it's brought up every debate every situation.

Which... would on further notice say... we only know about failures... so yeah any agents in appropriate locations or VPNs using correct credentials would be effectively undetectable.
