I appreciate the article’s punny title, but they could have taken it further. “Bad Buy Dubai: Private Jet Prices Soar as Wealthy Take Flight from Dubai”

Wonder why the wealthy aren’t interested in private submarines. Seems safer from an escapism and survival perspective and probably cost just as much as a flimsy easy-target Gulfstream.

At least his dreams even have future generations.

I live in Florida. I live in Florida.I live in Florida. I live in Florida. I live in Florida. I live in Florida. I live in Florida. I live in Florida. I like to jet ski. I like to jet ski. I like to jet ski. I like to jet ski. I have a pet snake named Snack. I have a pet snake named Snack. I have a pet snake named Snack.

I resent how this question implies I ever had faith in humanity.

They’re fueled by hopium and shit out false dreams. Basically they’re the Boiler Room or pinksheet Wolf of Wall Street, trying to trick as many investors as they can to swallow their shill.

Although some may actually believe their own hype in a deeply egotistical way, like Jared Leto’s character in the Blade Runner sequel.

Impotent Asshat Once Again Fails to Contribute Anything of Value, Instead Wastes Everyone’s Time and Money Chasing Windmills

I just played SOMA for the first time. These pictures gave me PTSD flashbacks to Terry Akers and his critters.

Minus John G. Trump. He was actually a pretty righteous dude from what I’ve read about him. So perhaps he was the one who happened to get all the available good genes, leaving only tattered scraps for the rest.

Those were my thoughts, too. Until China starts some serious human’s rights reforms, it would be hard to see any intellectuals wanting to go there after having grown up and worked in largely democratic societies. No one with a brain geared toward questioning the status quo or the norm would feel comfortable in a regime under the CCP.

Thank you for your science.

How willing is CA to take US refugees if they’re willing to swear allegiance to CA?

I can think of a few people I know in the US who would love to emigrate to Canada to escape the political spiral wrought by this administration, but it seems like Canada isn’t all that willing to make it easy for them.

Sounds like the companies should also issue their PHEV’d employees a portable gas-powered generator they can fill up when they fill the car to then use at night to charge the car’s batteries. Bureaucratically the math is flawless.

Outrage seems to be inversely proportional to experienced convenience, not necessarily performance disparity.

Very Michigan-centric, but Alexis Dahl is wonderful, meshing history and science.

It seems like he’s quite bad at keeping a fortune once made. Wouldn’t surprise me to see those billions evaporate from whence they came.

Let’s be real, everyone else in power hates the guy, but half of them have to pretend they like him because he’s placed some kind of inexplicable spell over a critical mass of voters in key areas (and he’s been good for the billionaires, who give that spell the mana it needs to keep living). The second those sharks sense the spell is broken, the billionaires have found a new useful idiot, and there’s blood in the water (there’s already plenty), he’ll be shredded apart. His power is very fragile and unless he can consolidate and shrink his coalition quickly into a true dictatorship, there will be a reckoning from within…so long as the popular support continues to wane while also being eclipsed by the rise of the opposition votes in November. Please do your part and vote against fascism.

There are still democracies out there? Like, in corporate boardrooms?

Ten kilomiles seems pretty far away, imo. What’s the problem?

Only if astrophage shows up to ruin/save the day.

I was about to pedantically attack the term “underage kids,” but then I realized how many juvenile adults there are out there and decided it was valid.
