I think I know what the next entry in the playbook is. After a suitable amount of protests they will free Mr. García, but not allow him to come back to the United States. That still ruins his life because his family is in the US, so it’s right up their alley on cruetly.

This will pacify a percentage of the protestors who will be tired and happy for a small win. It will “pacify” the courts, if they’re not already in on this play. The news will also step back because the see the story as concluded.

We need to be demanding justice for all 200 deportees. I know they latched on to Mr. García because he’s innocent, but for all we know they are all innocent. We need to stay mad until they’ve all had a day in court.

Honestly nothing short of an impeachment and conviction of this administration will restore my faith in this countries justice system.

Don’t worry about it. Our top man started a new signal group called “Signal group leak small chat”. They’ve invited all the best people to the chat and have already mentioned that opsec is clean.

Am I doing this right?

They aren’t his trees.

I don’t remember any scenes in Mad Max where there was a happy rich person living in their perfectly intact mansion with servants and a well manicured lawn.

The solution to this problem isn’t to ask a corrupt government to save you. They’ve already proven their word is worth jack by reversing policies of the previous administration. You should instead be trying everything possible to stop climate change. Including throwing money at the problem.

Whatever’s left of society won’t care that you’re immune to lawsuits. People who have never seen a tomato don’t care if you worked hard to get your fancy stuff. They’re just hungry.

Anyone who works directly for a Musk company should quietly start looking for another job.

People in unions should strike right now. People who aren’t in unions should also strike, but I don’t expect miracles.

This is the biggest asshole boss indicator. There should never be a situation where someone in power “jokes” about firing.

He needs a very quick financial lesson in not fucking with his employees. One week of work stoppage across every company he owns should do it.

It seems to me they did the current balancing for the 3090 because they had to. Cost wasn’t a driving factor when the goal was to push the most power to the card, but they don’t control any aspect of the PSU and can’t be sure how it will deliver power.

Once they rolled out the 12V HPwr standard they got those sense pins and someone looked at the design and said hey, we can save $$/card by not doing our own power management. It might also, if we’re being nice to nvidia, have been removed because power switching is probably an electrically noisy operation, and a source of heat, so they wanted it to be away from the video card.

But they left two resistors in there for a tiny bit of redundancy.

Then someone said hey, this resistor is doing nothing and we need the board space for… Any number of reasons, or they wanted to save a few pennies, and it got axed.

Vote blue and send huge amounts of letters and phone calls to your Congress people telling them to stop supporting this. Run new candidates under the Democratic party that push them further left.

Sounds impossible? Yes. People were force fed propaganda and gave up this election, because its a hard choice. There is no easy route. Its either revolution or try to change a party to something better. There is no option 3.

People told the centrists, I told my friends for fucks sake. I know someone who stayed home saying their vote didn’t matter and both sides are evil. I told them that is a vote for Trump.

They were right. Their vote didn’t matter because trump won by a landslide in our state. But what if they, and thousands of their compatriots, weren’t force fed propaganda on Facebook and TV?

The republicans won because of coordinated attacks that presented centrists with multiple trolley problems. I held out hope until the end, but I should have known what was going to happen when some reasonably intelligent people fell for it.

The Gaza strip is 141 square miles with a 2024 estimate of over two million people. I guarantee Trump doesn’t know how big it is, or the logistics required to displace that many people.

Not that he would care, but his followers need to be aware that this isn’t a small city or a united group of people. You can’t just send out an email and “tell” them anything. Especially after their communication infrastructure has been destroyed. So him saying they need to get out before his visit is no different than me saying he needs to resign by tomorrow.

Everyone who supports this needs to be aware that its a genocide. Supporting it is equivalent to volunteering to be part of it.

There are some problems with it that make it not as simple as it would appear.

1. If it was 100% perfect and not cheatable then the economy would a just around it as the new norm. In a few years people would say “you can get by on 99 million” and they’d be right. There would be calls to lower it again and the economy would shift around it. Imagine an MMO with a max coin cap and you can visualize the economy of it. The price of everything might eventually come down, but we would still be unable to afford any of.

2. It’s cheatable. Elon can’t make 70 billion in one year? That’s why he has 70 kids and they’re all employees of Eloncorp and they each make 1 billion. Or, if you don’t trust your kids (which he probably wouldn’t since …) You could just form 70 corporations to hold the money.

Rich peoples money is tied up by accountants and lawyers so tight there isn’t a magic fix for it. Elon could litigate through an entire presidency until his paid for politician was elected and could undo the tax laws.
