My next business idea: The Boring Bank.
We don't speculate. We don't back risky ventures. We just have savings, checking, and--for the edgy--money market accounts. Comfortably profitable, but not profitable enough to attract vulture capitalists. If there's an organized bank run, the CEO works through lunch.
The Boring Bank. We don't play with your money.
However, "one should not attribute to malice what can be explained by plain stupidity".
The Twitter adventure only made everyone realize what a few had already seen years ago: Elon is no tech genius, no Tony Stark or Steve Jobs. He is just a repulsive, arrogant and TOTALLY INCOMPETENT moron, who got where he got only thanks to the inherited fortune and the broken rules of the "capitalsm" game. >>
Florida man outright attacks the First Amendment (again).
Obviously the bill is flagrantly unconstitutional, but that's also the point. DeSantis and pals are baiting an inevitable SCOTUS challenge in an attempt to overturn NY Times v. Sullivan.
This is why I'll probably never be an executive.
We were asked today how long a thing would take, and it was pointed out that the entire project has to be done by a certain future date, so we might want to work backwards from that.
I blatantly said that even if it turned out that we needed it by tomorrow by that calculation, we still wouldn't have it by tomorrow... 🫢

Phht yeah, I hate this argument. The only thing they "risk" is that they might possibly have to get a normal job like the rest of us. Or more likely, go back to Mom and Dad embarrassingly for more money.
I have a strong feeling these clowns are going to cause more bank runs in their attempt to pressure a government bailout by overplaying the impact SVB's collapse will have on society. In hindsight, having a client base consisting mostly of chronically online Silicon Valley VCs who majored and minored in causing twttr panics for no reason, was maybe not a good business model.

It means being aware of racists like Ron DeFascist and his funders who oppose civil rights and a healthy democracy. https://gadflyonthewallblog.com/2023/03/12/stay-woke-public-school-teachers/ via @StevenSinger3 #woke #Defascist
