  • I don’t know that Biden even really wanted the job when he ran in 2020. The impression that I got was that he was done seeking the presidency after 2016, it seemed like maybe the party convinced him he was the best chance to beat Trump.

    I could be wrong, but it’s hard for me to believe he wanted to do anything besides retire and enjoy his remaining time with his remaining family.

    Once it became clear that he was NOT the best option to beat Trump, he dropped out. It might be as simple as that.

    Still major kudos for dropping out either way.

    The charging team thing seems like pretty standard power trip behavior from an exec, not that it’s good… seems like the plan is to hire some of those people back and continue to invest in charging infrastructure.

    What seems really braindead to me is the Cybertruck… they could have made a normal mid-size pickup and been absolutely killing it right now. I probably would have already bought one despite my opinion of Musk.




  • I’m not so sure it’s civility politics that is limiting him here. I doubt this nakedly corrupt and partisan court would actually side with his administration when it comes to agreeing that his acts are indeed official. Especially if said acts don’t fit with the Federalist Society’s ideology.

    If he doesn’t get re-elected that’s a different story, and he is realistically too old to face major consequences for his actions… so it would be great if he would at least have special forces rough these guys up a little bit to make a point about the necessary limits on executive power.

    Detecting if your employees are having trouble doesn’t sound that terrible, The issue is that instead of getting them help from another employee they are doing some useless BS.

    It seems like this system is designed to limit a corporation’s liability for hostile work environments that are created by a combination of corporate negligence and shitty customers.
