His obsession with Twitter's underlying infrastructure is weird. He doesn't seem to get that the "software and the servers" aren't twitter's product. His fractal of "rube goldberg machines" comment is kind of one of those outsider layman takes on being told about the web of system dependencies that make up practically any commercial IT setup in any medium to large organization. He's this rich airhead who's decided to roll up his sleeves and get in the trenches with the engineers despite not really knowing anything about what they do.

Hospital Caught Dumping Patients On Street
finaljedi replied to SimpleG's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
It takes a lot of balls to literally dump a patient on the county run hospital's doorstep. Usually corporations get a little antsy about flagrant violations of law and huge adverse PR, but I assume some floor manager at that hospital was just a sociopath who wanted to free up beds for paying customers. -
He may lose, but he'll try his best to poison the well for the Republicans. He spent 3 months filing lawsuit after lawsuit and whining to everyone culminating in an attempted coup after a fairly standard and not really close election. If he loses the primary against DeSantis I don't expect him to either accept the results or to stump for DeSantis

So does third party Trump outperform third party Teddy Roosevelt and Ross Perot? Anyhow Trump's cult was there the whole time waiting for someone like Trump. We were lucky in that before these regressive culture warriors didn't have any charismatic to rally around. Most of the tea partiers and selectively evangelical types didn't have anyone to look to for leadership, the ones that emerged before Trump had the magnetism of a dead fish.

Chabot losing would be my silver lining. I've been donating to everyone who has been running against him for years, useless tit with what the Cincinnnati subreddit has described as "old man smell".

I don't think his revenue generating acumen is very good in general. Tesla sells cars to upper middle class people as a sort of fashionable status symbol and charges an insane amount for a software patch that turns on autonomy that will never really work. Even with that apparently they aren't profitable without selling carbon credits. SpaceX is propped up by tax dollars and what seems to be 31 rounds of investment funding. So yeah, not terribly surprised he doesn't get how to make Twitter make money while not relying on advertisers who are hesitant to hawk their wares on a "free speech" platform.
