Greed kills

Nice to know our government is taking swift action on a completely made-up problem

We live in the stupidest time

💯

…at the right time. That their overnight success was mostly luck and that they weren’t geniuses. Guys like Yarvin give off the same aura.

Getting rich from tech doesn’t make you wise or a competent leader. Watch out for their hubris - unfettered wealth corrupts most people.

…of these guys had never worked anyplace else & were FAR from the smartest. It completely went to their heads, and the consultants came crawling - flattering and telling them they deserved their success & could do anything. Very few people could admit they were just in the right place…

In the 90’s I was working at a biotech company that struck it rich with a blockbuster drug. I have never been around a group of people who were so drunk on their success. They truly believed they were better, smarter & harder working than the losers who weren’t rich at age 30, even though most…

Awwwww that’s sad!

Actions always speak louder than words. Each of us can influence our families and neighbors by role-modeling decency, generosity, honesty, integrity and courage. And it must be real - not BS virtue-signaling that turns people off and is a gift to horrible people like Christopher Rufo.

I’m continually amazed that these corporate media companies move journalists like Acosta aside, kiss Trump’s ass and chase right-wing audiences to solve their declining profits - oblivious to the fact that MAGA voters hate their guts. They deserve to fail.

Phyllis Schafley was a horrible person. She played such a pivotal role in sinking the ERA in the 70s. She’s in that special place in hell now for women that hate other women.

Maybe he’s also afraid of small crowd size

Oh blah blah blah. He’s a snake oil salesman and that’s it.

The only way I can maintain connection with my MAGA parents and family members is to think of myself as an ambassador of a different society, a representative of the “liberal Democrat” who is demonized and ridiculed by the right. Me and my family are living proof that they are being fed a lie.

I agree with her. Our descendants will look back at pictures to see who was sitting there, like good German citizens at Hitler’s rallies.

Now do House Corinno, House Harkonnen, House Atreides.

Lots of examples of how unaccountable leaders misuse their power and the toll the their cruelity, corruption, hubris and greed take on regular people.

But also how honor, humility and competance prevail in the end.

Fantastic idea

I wonder if Birdbrain Haley has any regrets
