I enjoy intellectual pursuits. I like people. Everything I do is a function of the two.

Every idiot ideologue believes in defunding the police, they just differ in what police they want to defund.
The CFPB exaggerated charges against companies to make headlines and impose fines. The more corporations they turned into “criminals”, the more money they extracted. This is the same failure mode as for-profit prisons, which led to the kids-for-cash scandal, where judges received kickbacks for jailing teens. And it’s also the same failure mode as traditional law enforcement, whose abuses of civil forfeiture grew rapidly under the Obama administration. In all three cases, the cop became the robber.

@avataram It is so absurd that people do not have a choice but to not take it seriously. But stranger things have happened. Last few days have perked up my nihilo-meter to 11.

@avataram Yep, he probably realized he'd gotten himself into a vipers nest and knew a number of this lot will either go to jail or need presidential pardons. And excused himself.

@DevanSinha Why is this happening? Are there upstream funding pressures or just execution incompetence?

@KrishnaMemani @balajis @Ike_Saul Pardon my language sir, but I think it's progressed from fealty to fellaty.

Odd days : Did you know 25 year olds ran the Manhattan project, sent man on the moon, discovered General relativity Even days: C'mon, random racist things said when you were merely a 25 yr old kid shouldn't ruin your life. Especially not if you work for Daddy Elmo.

@shrikanth_krish If it does 20x sales growth in 10yrs, the expected IRR would be 0. One may or may not want to fight the valuation but the overvaluation of Palantir is like the one certainty in the financial markets right now.

Why're you fucking debating on twitter instead of filing a suit and getting a warrant or cease and desist issued by a judge.
Elon we have known each other a long time. You can't stop payments that Congress has authorized and appropriated. Make recommendations to Congress, but don't stop payments. That's Article I. Also, let's debate why we need the DOE.

Every Bihari bahubali and military general has known and suggested this as a way to 'reform' government since the beginning of time. What is it about software that makes people lose their minds man.
.@elonmusk really is a genius. In the history of how to reform government, no one to my knowledge suggested getting hold of the systems controlling personnel and payments. Obvious in retrospect but totally new play.

Half your paycheck exists because you're stably and predictably lighting it on fire. Paychecks are not real.
