Yeah the whole warning reads like bullshit. We already know that Trump supporters, and probably people inside the FBI, will join in protests and commit acts of violence. This is an old tactic, it's been around for decades, and it will always be used whenever people are having large political gatherings. You cannot avoid it.

So what's the alternative? Not ever protest? That's a stupid idea. And the author knows it stupid, which is why they didn't say it, and they just ignored the entire topic. Which means they are trying to manipulate people and we should ignore them because they are untrustworthy.

I'm not worried about the hypocrisy here. I couldn't give a f*** about Trump being hypocritical. But I care an awful lot that he's threatening to do something terrible to someone he considers a political opponent.

That's true and this is not an example of such a situation, because he knew exactly what the reaction was going to be. He probably felt that he could ride that AI bubble away from it, but he knew the reaction was waiting for him.

The other thing about that claim, when it could possibly be credible, is it means that essentially the boss is not qualified to do their job. The one thing they should have done is been chatting with ordinary workers or customers to see what the actual needs are, and they're admitting it to somehow deflect from a bad decision they made but in doing so they've unwittingly shown that they're basically incompetent at their entire job.

Didn't Luigi have something to say about that?

We learned that lesson 95 years ago when the same thing happened during the Great Depression. And then apparently many of us forgot it and I hope many of those people are relearning it.

How cool! This is one great point of FOSS.

We agree that taking money from them would in fact take money from them. Want a cookie?

Streets are paid through tax dollars. Often income, property, and sales tax. Not from car or gasoline tax. :-)

It was always so. But now we can see it more clearly.

And some of the effects are much worse now than in the past.

The average consumer doesn't care about that aspect though.
