The “24k gold base” was likely a thin layer, but whatever, yeah they gave him ~10-100k in gold and implied unwarranted praise in exchange for points. They also committed $600 billion ($100 billion more than before trump won, thanks a lot everybody) to build manufacturing in the US, which, if someone’s mad about that - sorry.

The ballroom is worse, but this is even worse yet, yes. I don’t have to look at his participation trophy, i don’t ever expect to see the Epstein Ballroom and Bunker Boys Club built, but everyone in the world can see this idiotic “renaming”. That’s not strategic, that’s not hedging, that’s just pathetic.

Internal revolt as 'nuts' Apple execs appease Trump: 'There is not a soul who is for it'

I mean, this is how I justified tim apple’s participation in the techno bunghole club with the gold-based-corning glass sacrifice. Six months in, get in, throw some shit in the air, get out. Fine, i disagree, but whatever.

But this is nothing. This is just stupid. An EO is nothing. And frankly even the most pedestrian trump watcher knows he’d TACO before losing $1 over “lake fucking america”. So it looks really bad for The Fucking New Guy to pre-cave on nothing that’s this goddamn stupid.

One of the marketing managers was flayed on a spit. Jeez rtfa!

/s yeah its lame but wygd, quit? In this context I read it as employee morale takes a kick in the ‘nards so go poach some applers or expect bad stuff to happen there next. Both being bad for apple and both the result of some internal chatter.

How does one sell a vintage car?

Optional @lemmy.world 1w ago

First of all, you get you one o’ them . . uh. . y’know, women? And then, see, they stand next to the car in like a bathing suit or something, and pretty soon people start showing up.

Next thing you know you’re holding five hundred real American dollars! 😃

Nah j/k but this says the price is 12-24k depending. Might be worth it to suffer the indignities of - whichever - if you’re going to do it.

House adopts resolution condemning socialism, with 8 Democrats joining Republicans

Jump

Optional @lemmy.world 1w ago

But two moderate Democrats — Golden [Maine] and Gluesenkamp Perez [Washington] — defected and helped the procedural vote succeed, putting some of their Democratic colleagues in a politically tricky situation.
House Democratic leadership condemned Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez's decision later Tuesday.
"The decision by two of our colleagues to blindside the entire House Democratic Caucus and join with the Republican majority to pass a procedural rule on the brink of failing represents a significant breach of trust. It is an action that necessitates a serious response, and we have asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to take this up in short order," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a joint statement with House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar.
