This is similar to my crank MBA-ization theory: We used to have exciting growth stocks and boring reliable stocks that retirees could invest in. Now every industry wants 30% returns so our banks and utilities are less stable and reliable.
My sort of crank, not thought through theory is that as MBA brain has proliferated, management of businesses has gotten more and more divorced from the particulars of the businesses they’re managing, and CEOs’ jobs are “business” in the same way Ken’s job is “beach.”
Best explanation is upper management are MAGA true believers

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp
As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

Send those complaints along to Costco, too.
Currently, Costco requires members use Visa. While Costco may be holding the line on certain issues, if they're lying in the same bed, they're going to get the same fleas.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.
Elon Musk's X begins its push into financial services with Visa deal
Visa will enable X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet and make instant peer-to-peer payments, like Zelle or Venmo.

(3) Not a single Democratic vote on the big House budget bill unless/until Musk and his goons are gone.
That's it. That's what I expect. Not because I think it's the best strategy for positioning themselves for the midterms, but because *they took an oath to protect the Constitution*

My uncle, a retired Episcopalian priest, says that the thing about Trump that makes him angriest is how he's licensed all of us -- his slobbering toadies and his staunchest haters -- to be our worst selves. He really does degrade every single fucking thing he touches.

By 51-50, we now have a deeply compromised, unqualified, D-list Fox host running the US military at the command of a convicted felon who once hosted a reality show.
