I go with about a century.

It was built by Wilson and FDR. It was a product of and sustained by mass media, but as soon as there was a way around the gatekeepers it started cracking.

ETA: it also goes with the claims that we will go down for ~70 years like the USSR. Nah, we are at the end of our 70 years. It just took longer and we never went as deep into hell.

It's a serious thought now, that list could have gone ON and ON if I'd kept going.

Once upon a time a guy being a bus driver = have a house and send kids to college job.
Now people scoff.

Shit's weird now

Sure. But what we are seeing is the pus draining out of the wound. All of the times when "things were great" were when the progressive fascism was under the surface, hence why kids mostly didn't see it.

As Rand pointed out: every single lunatic oppressive law she put in Atlas Shrugged actually existed at the time she wrote it.

The REAL culture wars started in the 60's and McCarthy was the 50's....   this goes back to the early 1900's if you want to get to the root.

the funny thing about all the journalists saying they are going to leave twitter / start their own twitter is the thing they will discover is nobody cares.

news is very 90s. nobody cares about journalists at all in 2022. the only way they had any sort of fame is they all boosted each other by retweeting each other.

if they move off twitter nobody will be there to read their stupid opinions

And where else would they get their source?  Twitter IS their source for reporting. That all they do. Report on tweets.

Pedos were using coded hashtags to find and distribute CP directly on twitter. This was going on for years under prior management.

Then it stopped in hours after Elon took over and Yoel Roth resigned.

You are assuming "they" care.  Kind of like you might assume they actually want to stop gang violence in cities. In both cases you would be wrong because you have not yet understood that they are sociopaths that only care about enriching themselves.

For sure antivirus companies have a deal going with M$. M$ could easily fix the security holes in their OS but they do nothing because that would kill their sister industry, the antivirus companies.

We hammer all other OS companies if they don’t secure their products yet accept garbage from M$.

Your phone is secure and constantly gets patches to ensure it stays that way.

So do my Mac computers.

I could see Musk developing his own smart phone ecosystem in response to that, with a tie-in to Starlink, and using that to crush both the Android and Apple ecosystems.

The Democrats just elected a mentally impaired man and apparently a dead man for a lower position.  The "they" picked Harris as VP even though she was losing terribly in the 2020 primary and had ripped on Biden hard during the debates.  "they" want someone loyal and we all know what Kamala will do for a job.  

I'm still expecting some type of public episode with Biden where Kamala rushes to him, then as Biden is recovering she takes center stage for a couple weeks so that out of sympathy many in the country start to feel for her and become attached.  Then Joe says he needs to step aside.  She serves the remaining 2 years and then tries to run for 2 more terms.  That gives the Dems the first female President and she gets to be President for 10 years.  She breaks all the records and the Dems will think they have a significant claim to history.  

I believe that was their plan, she is so terrible in front of the camera that they might have to change it and do what you said.

Why not just earmark a billion dollars or so to making the board of Apple miserable. Buy all the property around their homes and turn it into a garbage dump. Put up wind turbines. Buy the kids school. But their country club.

Etc...

I've owned every iPhone flagship minus the original, the 5, 8, and 10XS. I'd absolutely never buy another iPhone again if they drop Twitter over reinstating a handful of accounts that were banned for circumspect reasons.

I get the whole sandboxed ecosystem argument where app security is a big deal but if they're going to claim people can't load their own apps then they need to be absolutely non-partisan about which apps get in the App Store.

Virtue signaling from your own platform is one thing but trying to silence other people is a whole different animal.

“Some might be surprised to learn that the Apple Twitter account has 0 tweets and has for some time according to a Medium post from 2020.

Instead, Apple uses different target-specific Twitter accounts like iTunes, AppleTV and the iOS App Store. Apple also uses the accounts of executives like CEO Tim Cook to make product announcements and messages about the technology giant. Cook has 13.7 million followers on Twitter, more than the official Apple account.”

Fascinating. I get the feeing  Elon thinks nuralink will be the next smart phone, or the thing we will all want fad/trend.

I wonder how small they can shrink a starlink terminal?

nuralink sized would be fascinating, anywhere in the world you’ll be connected to the web, device security had better fucking be priority#1!

IDK about Apple, but it's possible to distribute Android apps w/o Google - hell, it's possible to modify Android not to use any Google services

I guarantee you they thought they were gonna run up a $20k bar bill and stick it to elon on the way out.  I hope they had to wash dishes to pay for it instead.

That's pretty typical. We had a few people try to run up cards when we got purchased. It was all shut off damn near as soon as the papers were signed and they could control the accounts.

Most corporate expense policies explicitly state no alcohol or tobacco can be purchased with corporate or even personal cards and reimbursed. There are sometimes exceptions for high level management.

As stated, these shitstains were trying to rack up massive bills on their way out as a fuck you to Musk. Hope they got stuck with the bill or get prosecuted (I know, I know).

Probably not in regard to running an open bar for terminated employees on the company's tab, though.

Lol no. That’s why I classify it a “entertainment”.

I have never had a corporate expense card or policy that says I can’t buy booze for clients.
