PassingThrough

You jest, but sometimes I wonder if there would be a huge market for smoke and engine noise simulators. Given those are the two biggest things emanating from the parking lot car show, followed by sound systems, I do wonder…

Birds of a feather. Joe isn’t great about Palestine, trying too hard to be politically delicate about it I think, but Donald is absolutely going to support Israel without hesitation.

After all, only thing that matters to the Don is whether you can pay for his support…

That’s…

On the one hand, you get to be the guy that let everyone in and ensured victory. Couldn’t have done it without ya.

On the other, you crawled through shit to do it. You’re now forever the battalion’s shit crawler, and probably smell like it even when you don’t.

You’d be both celebrated and ridiculed til the end of your days.

Which is true in context. It’s a traditional name but it is not the highest authority, if you can make your case the appeals court can overrule them, making them the highest authority.

Maybe not by name, but by job it does. That’s why it “kinda” makes sense. The court might be Supreme in name but not in duty, whoever got to write up the org chart realized that the appeals court got the final say and was the real top dog.

willing to ignore

Ignore? I have it on unfortunately good authority that at least a decent chunk of his base agree with what he is spouting and are loving how he “speaks the truth” or “says what they’re all thinking”. Sadly he’s enabling more and more of them to feel comfortable saying the quiet part out loud and acting on their impulses.

I mean, it kinda makes sense. Especially in this day and age an appeal is the final say, not the court ruling(feels like everything gets appealed). So, this way the place that happens is the highest court in the state. The final ruling is whether the highest non-appeals court did it right, not the original issue.

Or, put another way, if you tell me the highest court in the land has made a decision, I would expect that to be the end of it. But it’s not. From the moment the verdict is read lawyers are preparing an appeal. Therefore, whatever court takes the appeal makes the true final decision. Why not then make that the highest court in the land and better reflect the role?

Would it help at all if he could shift the blame onto government policy?

I don’t pay much attention to things I can’t afford, but I remember reading a short conspiracy theory that Musk would absolutely love it if someone were to turn the market against EVs/Tesla, because he needs/wants Tesla to fail by excuse of “government” and not because he’s running into the ground. Exhibit A: AI Self Driving Exhibit C: Cybertruck.

Looks better on his resume that way? Gotta preserve that image to preserve that income.

I presume much the same ways as they did inside the city…with work.

Grab a quiet field(there was more available space before there were so many people), put up some temporary shelters, hunt and forage, cook a camp potluck. Sure, go without the certainty of stone and plumbing for awhile, but it could be done when you had the skills and the will.

Unlike the the other guys who had to realize they weren’t very good at or comfortable with the whole…working thing.
