  It’s utterly bizarre. The customers lose out by receiving an inferior product at the same cost. The workers lose out by having their employment terminated. And even the company loses out by having its reputation squandered. The only people who gain are the executives and the ownership.

  Unfortunately, they can multitask

  True, but I’m asking what they can do, and that’s far from clear. What do you suggest?

  I agree completely. It’s clear we’re in need of much stronger constitutional safeguards.

  As you pointed out, they attempted to subpoena Musk and the republicans voted it down. They’ve also introduced articles of impeachment, which they successfully put through last time only to have senate republicans refuse to convict on the basis that trump was no longer president.

  Politely, I think this comment is unhelpful. What do you propose that they do? Our government is based to a large degree on the assumption of good faith. The Supreme Court, for example, has power because the constitution says it does. They don’t have the capacity to actually enforce the rulings they hand down.

  The current president has basically said that he doesn’t care about the constitution, and is just concerned with stealing power for himself and his cronies. Elections are supposed to be our mechanism for dealing with that.

  This article is impressive. Two whole paragraphs of ad-hominem before even mentioning the topic, and then never mentioning it again.

  Or maybe zerohedge is right. I’ve heard that DEI hires were the main reason that 30-50% of Europe’s population died between 1346 and 1353. The liberals want us to think it was bubonic plague, but all the red pills really know it was the trans agenda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics in tea bags⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost too absurd to believe.

  There’s a conversation to be had about microplastic contamination, but this study feels and sounds like bad faith argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics in tea bags⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This study is such bullshit. They took 300 teabags and boiled them in 600ml of water while stirring at 750rpm for an unspecified amount of time, and claim their method to be an accurate simulation of making a cup of tea.
