Larry ellison is in a completely different ballpark compared to the rest of those guys at least in terms of sadistic behavior. That man is a true monster - of course he will live to be 124.

I don't think this is true at all. What kind of sadistic behavior are you talking about?

I've been saying this for well over a year, specifically having many arguments with Luciom on this exact topic.

You'll notice I said something about this yesterday and multiple people tried to mock me

It would be ironic if there were any humor to it

The world is changing faster than most people can comprehend it because holistic critical thinking is hard and sometimes scary

When haven't the robber barons owned the media?

Yep

This isn't hugely applicable to what Bernie is saying here but I think it would be wise to be able to better distinguish between multi billionaires because Larry Ellison is Satan in a suit blending in with some on that list who are just a bunch of tech bros with an insane amount of money.

Hey I was raised Christian Reformed and the same rule applied


Although this seems like cause to celebrate, I'm sure he'll be replaced by some other fascist.

Top Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who led controversial immigration sweeps in Democratic-led cities, has told people he plans to retire at the end of the month, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.


Oh, the irony....

Well, we could start with you.

“If we found half of the fraud that’s taking place in this country — and I think you have a chance of doing that — we would have much more than a balanced budget. That’s the kind of numbers you’re talking about. The theft is incredible,” Trump said.


BTW, somewhat buried in the news cycle is the fact that afghanistan and pakistan are also fighting a war.

Pakistan struck a drug rehab facility in Kabul yesterday. Killed a hundred people trying to get clean.

I saw closer to 400. Of course we won’t hear much about how it was the most evil thing since the holocaust.


Just another conversation that was had here recently where the centrist misogynists were embarrassingly wrong


At this point I'm wondering if many out there actually have a humiliation kink and being misogynistic is just their optimized path to getting humiliated repeatedly

Good for them!

That said, I suspect it was mostly male negotiators who got them the great deal.

And how come 7 of the 15 head coaches in the WNBA are guys?? I mean, there aren't 8 women left on the whole planet who can coach women's basketball at the pro level?
