Until the agents responsible for this are rounded up and help accountable, I will forever oppose the mass deportation policy. It’s inhumane. Because the line goes on forever and it's a very "safe" place to be for a very long time. I disagree with your opinion that deporting anyone that is in the USA illegally is inhumane.
sherpa Posted Tuesday at 08:15 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:15 PM Kind of related, but not really. Events of this past weekend in Iran point to something those of us in the "business" have been saying since the movie's release. Topgun Maverick used F-18's in the defining strike. That mission was clearly meant for the B-2, and using F-18's was gross entertainment license. Anyway, vindication on that call. 1

Roundybout Posted yesterday at 06:37 PM Posted yesterday at 06:37 PM I think a lot of millennials being driven to populism stems from that they’re flat-out not given chances to succeed in business. Like this guy shows, they can absolutely turn around failing companies. The problem is the Boomer generation refuses to pass on the keys to anyone else. They’re sick with power and they’ll happily ruin the world so long as they don’t have to lose their standing.

Keep speaking truth to power, young progressive in a bubble! good god

Congrats to him but resurrecting Red Lobster is going to be a heavy lift, and I fear a doomed endeavor. I remember going there when I was younger and wanted to go back there recently but a lobster dinner is $40.

My parents always liked going there, but the quality went downhill so fast that they finally gave up. I think the story was that the private equity firm that bought red lobster cut ties with its shrimp suppliers in favor of one supplier they also owned. It screwed the whole operation.

Yeah, it was a cool story to hear. But unless they cut prices significantly, it’s doomed to fail unfortunately. 1
The Frankish Reich Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago This story flew under the radar for obvious reasons. But it's a terrible precedent: the U.S. government effectively taking an ownership stake in U.S. Steel. Last week brought us the Golden Share. No, that isn’t a James Bond movie, or a detail from the Steele dossier, although the plot is as sinister. It’s the Trump administration’s first step to nationalize the steel industry. In exchange for approval of Nippon Steel’s merger with U.S. Steel, the government receives a single preferred share, which includes voting rights and all sorts of control over U.S. Steel’s ability to close factories, invest capital and relocate jobs outside the U.S. This “Golden Share” is a bad idea. Nationalization is a fool’s errand, a slippery slope to fascism’s “government controlling the means of production.” Don’t do it.
