Larry "Xi Jinping" Ellison
Broke guy Agent641 says a vast self-funded purchase of plastic water pistols and a sample pot of black house paint can ensure that Larry is wrong.
That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.
it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.
Literally 1984.
How about using it on the billionaires instead?
It will just mean that the citizens will ill-intent will find ways to use the same tools against the surveillance system.
Not to mention, most of the people NOT on their best behavior will be the guys running the companies and agencies running the system.
Dude looks like he's one line of coke away from a heart attack...
HGH
He looks like Tim Allen got in a fight with a hornet nest
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.
Hahaha this was literally the story arc of season 7 of Elementary.
including YOU and other leeches?!
ya. didn't think so.
Time to 3d these people.
DVON GET THE ~~TABLES~~ GUILLOTINES!!!
Oh, I like this.
Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
Nope. All their egos wouldn't allow them to believe that anybody would ever do anything to THEM.
Well then why has Elon been wearing his son like body armor all of the sudden since the United Healthcare asshole got got?
That's a testable hypothesis.
You go right ahead. I'm not eating any of those assholes. They're only held together by hatred and bitterness. I'd assume the taste would be influenced by that.
Think of it more like medicine - taste isn't what you're after, but the effect it has.
But we still don't have to eat the fuckers. Just feed them to the swine, or something.
Compost the rich!
Lemme guess... Based on oracle no doubt. The wrong people are gonna prosper the next 4 years.
Oh, it's absolutely going to be written in Java. Storing data with Oracle DB. And running on Solaris.
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
Oh you mean One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison?
That's fuckin' great!!
Not heard that before, and I'm old. 🤣😂
Sounds like someones vying for next in line.
Queue countdown before this guy's skeletons come out...
Have you seen the documentary about him? Some of them are already on display.
Come on.....don't be so dramatic.
.........we never got to see Brian Thompson's skeliton. We just saw him fall down.
Most people only have one skeleton, but you've got my support either way!
The text is behind a paywall and I would actually like to see the details of what this idiot fuck said.
Well, if you own a world inhabited by a few billion people, you want to make sure they’re optimally generating value for you and not bringing down the value of your holdings.
