They’re the ones that will do what this Executive Branch wants them to do; things like what happened in this article. Logistics or efficiency doesn’t matter to them.

Hi, stray dog.

I cannot make a response that does yours justice unfortunately, but I’ll say that it would surprise me if they had the skills to pull this off smoothly. Looking at Musk and the crazy decisions around AI, it seems like they do get a bit lost and make bad decisions.

Their access to power and technology is very frightening for sure and will do lots of damage. They might seem unstoppable or invincible. But I think they can still screw things up for themselves. There hasn’t been an empire that lasted forever, even if everyone is convinced it will be around for 1000 years.

I’m not saying to underestimate them. But they are humans at the end of the day.

The bunkers certainly help them survive a bioweapon pandemic, but then what would be next? Would they have the means to rebuild all of the supply chains in an almost completely automated way? Would they have the means to create new humans in such a way that leaves enough genetic diversity to survive other diseases that will stay in the world?

Of course they could have access to all the technology left over from before the said pandemic, but it doesn’t mean much if there aren’t enough people/machines to utilize them and keep them fixed. They would have to go without a lot of things like convenient private jet travel and complex manufacturing. This is not even mentioning when the food/medicine inevitably runs out.

This isn’t to argue against you, just me wondering if they would take those kinds of risks. IMO they are probably too comfortable with what they have to rebuild everything rather than just capturing current governments and creating corporate dictatorships. If they screw up the former badly enough, we will be extinct after all.

Developing mass bioweapons to be used on the same planet they need to live on is nothing but pure hubris. Who is to say that the disease won’t evolve to be even worse and the vaccine rendered worthless? I wouldn’t think they’d necessarily come out ahead if they’re forced to quarantine for a long time and rebuild humanity from nothing (assuming they don’t die themselves).

But I don’t have the kind of ego they do either, so maybe they think they’d be fine either way.

Looks just like an Empire of the Sun album cover. Which is a good thing, of course.

They’re attempting to pass bills that suppress Dem turnout and help them win this November. The timing matters for what they want to do.

You need to be on 800mg on Benadryl to see it (don’t actually do that).

Speeding and running red lights are moving violations. It’s possible to get a suspended license from getting 2-3 speeding or red light tickets in a row in some states.

In theory he should be paying a lot more to car insurance because of the points and sheer amount of violations. But maybe he’s too wealthy to care about that either.

Edit: In many states in the US, they will suspend the license if they get too many points from violations like running red lights or speeding. Not sure how it works in New York state however.

It’s not for everyone. Personally I didn’t have any interest in hardcore until I went to a concert for one. Especially nowadays, it’s one of the few genres that get people moving regardless of venue. It has the energy that so many live concerts heavily lack.

In the US, relatives aren’t responsible for a deceased relative’s debt unless they co-signed or live in Pennsylvania with certain circumstances.

Just wanted to let people know to NEVER pay debt from a deceased person unless you absolutely know you are legally responsible. They will try to hassle you and lie into getting you to pay, and just one payment can make things so much harder for you.

Is a telehealth appointment an option? In my experience those are less expensive and easier, especially if you just need refills. Some meds need to be prescribed in-person however.

I’ve never heard or seen any colleges’ Computer Science/IT departments that have more women than men. Just my personal experience in the US, maybe it’s different in other countries.

I’ve heard “Clarity” by Zedd at a wedding before. They could do worse.

I heard as an anecdote online that “Sound of Settling” by Death Cab for Cutie was played during a first dance, which is somehow worse than anything else.

Sometimes I feel like they’re fucking up the economy intentionally. I notice that it’s always enough to fuck over everyone who isn’t rich but never enough to screw up the stock market. Maybe they just want to get rid of the middle class while attempting to make themselves impossible to vote out.

And sometimes the distress inflicted is absolutely intentional, so he does give a shit sometimes but only in the worst way.

I’m doing my part.

As with many things, Mississippi is the worst state for traffic deaths per capita. It’s just more common to notice these in higher population states.

It’s not unheard of for an Airbnb to have outdoor cats around the property, but I certainly never heard of dogs staying in with the guests.
