Hilariously enough - this'll likely blow the bottom out of the oil market and end up hurting those companies.

I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I'd be more forgiving but... they've had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.

I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.

Aha, but a 25% tariff ends up taxing a fifth of the total value. I've been hit in the nads by enough fence posts in my day to dodge that trap.

We're a country with extremely liberal views on speech and sexuality. I support superimposing a Canadian flag over a little person in full bondage gear humping the leg of a pregnant woman while shouting "I want to go back inside mommy". That's the Canada I became a citizen of.

Russia is collapsing - this war is absolutely draining their economy. The questions are whether Ukraine could keep that momentum if the US suddenly cuts off communication media and whether continuing a war to a victorious position is worth the cost to Ukrainians. I'm not there, I don't get any input on the decision, but I'm absolutely understanding of my Ukrainian coworker that fled the country and wouldn't ill judge Ukraine seeking an earlier peace in exchange for concessions.

The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn't an asshole.

Likely true if we're being real but... You don't say that outloud you incompetent fucking negotiator.

I'm pretty sure half the red states already block it.

Instead I'd suggest a more technically involved approach of blocking the middle fifth (a 25% tariff) of the screen of videos with a large black bar that has a Canadian flag and a beaver (not that kind) on it.

If you want to send a message it's better to avoid a full blackout since most regular folks will just assume it's a server outage. Make it clear it's intentional.

So how about that SPORTING EVENT last weekend?

I'm slow to buy into conspiracy theories but the fucker is doing everything I could think of to revert America to an economic backwater.

She'll absolutely try and grab a bag on the way out and took on this role willingly. Don't feel any pity for her.

If his mouth keeps shrinking at the current rate in just five months it should form a singularity and I'll never need to hear from the fucker again. If that singularity happens to swallow earth so be it - it'll be worth it.

Conservatives always love censorship.

Never let them tell you otherwise.

Why didn't little bro get some actual ear flaps. Those fuckers would be freezing off in actual cold conditions.

Caring about your employees as if they were humans.

Come and spend your money in our economy, sure!

I doubt you'll have any trouble unless you have MAGA bullshit on display or are driving a Tesla.

We've always been at war with Ukraine and allied to Russia!

The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.

So just to be clear.

Dude was here legally riding on two different qualified visas - the US government arbitrarily and capriciously revoked both... and now they're arresting him for not having any legal right to be in the country.
