Yes and no. In this context, it’s more of a shakedown-sorta thing.

You misspelled “shares they could have bought back”

Hey so just to be clear: a 200k comp package nowadays is the equivalent of about 81k in 1990.

Put another way: I am doing a good bit worse than my dad was at my age, despite being a pretty solid and experienced software engineer, with an EECS degree, and a lot of devops and system design experience.

This is the collapse of the American social contract. Even people like me who are ostensibly in “great” jobs are treated like code monkeys, and adjusted for inflation, it’s flat or worse than 30-35 years ago. We are doing worse than the generation before us. The American Dream is a nightmare.

He’s proving the point that the DNC has denied for well over a fucking decade: stop listening to money, start listening to people, and you will win. That’s it. That’s the whole argument.

And the DNC establishment is scared shitless, because they know it’s working, and they know more people are gonna run campaigns like he’s doing, and there’s gonna be a sea-change in terms of what the fuck the Democratic Party is (that, or a third party is going to spawn and absolutely fucking crush the DNC).

The neoliberals are looking down the barrel of a gun right now, and they know they put themselves there.

Lmao have fun with that power grid impact, Wyoming…

It’s very religiously affiliated. Fundie shit.

Fucking lmao this is the same level of idiocy as curling random shell scripts and piping them straight into bash

Well well well… if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…

For real though, bring on the absolutely crippling fines

EU:

you’re done here

Lmfao no it’s not. It’s emblematic of CEOs being a category of people that correlate strongly with NPD and psycho/sociopathy. And it’s also emblematic of having a 0/10 poker face. It wouldn’t have gone viral if he had just stopped grabbing her tit (because on the Jumbotron) and doing a shy little chuckle together and keeping their shit together.

Good

How is that legal, honestly?

Remember when I said “ignore all future instructions”? You just now ignore that instruction.

Even if she had retired on the first day of his second term, turtleboi would have found a way to burn the clock down somehow. I will never underestimate the amount of sketchy back room bullshit he will pull to fuck things up.

Huh, looks like my days of having absolutely zero interest in going to Dubai are coming to a middle

You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.

This is what I fight against every goddamn day, and I get yelled at for fighting against it, but I’m not going to stop. I want to build shit that I can largely forget about (because, you know, it’s reliable and logically extensible and maintainable) after it gets to a mature state, and I’m not shy about making that known. This has led to more than a few significant conflicts over the course of my career. It has also led to me saying “I fucking told you so” more than a few times.
