Who just gets replaced by a well-trained VP or some shit. Too simplistic.

Tell you what though, those positions get harder to fill if you keep bumping the cunts off. Which perhaps is ablut as outlandish as expecting berks to opt-out of the worst of late-stage capitalism.

I agree. Cunt soup whichever way you look at it. My only balm is having opted out.

Opted out!? Weren't you the guy who was selling sexual favors for votes in Pennsylvania or something. That's some serious half measures. You need to properly unburden yourself my man.

Fuck, yes. Righto. I had liberal acquaintances who admired the living shit out of Tesla, maybe a decade ago, before Musk's true colors began to show. Save the planet type shit. Ooh, isn't it futuristic?

I didn't get their fascination at all. This guy!? I'd yell at the bar. Dig a little.

But you know, people on the left and right and in the center tend to be dazzled by tech crap. And... bullshit artists!
