I mean the guys already making this joke himself right? So you’re just laughing along with him. Unless you made the T-shirt text for the meme, and even still, he’d probably chuckle at it if that were the case.

Customers aren’t engaging in the market enough for your tastes? Make them the market!

Yeah was worried this was the case. Seems insane though that they can make that decision and then force the family to take liability for the cost. Hopefully they will have some sort of recourse—I don’t know exactly but I’m pretty sure long term life support ain’t cheap.

That’s so fucked

So this is horrible and stupid. But also, who pays for this? Does the family get forced to eat millions in ICU bills? Does the hospital just eat it? Does it get covered by Medicare, which they’re actively trying to erase?

Well, I get that? But satire presents exaggerated versions of the truth in order to display the absurdity of that truth. I guess I’m just skeptical that the grifter narcissists currently running things are ready for bunker living, but again, there are bunkers, and the tech/hedge fund set has been very apocalyptically oriented last few years, so perhaps.

The argument I can see for it (from the great power geopolitical perspective) is that it would be a nuclear regional war right in Russia/China’s backyard, and might distract/degrade them. But again, the very high chance of total annihilation inherent in this should immediately discount it as a viable action. But we also live in some sort of hyper reality at this point, so perhaps the capitalist death-drive really is being made real right now.

Yeah those are all bad, but deliberately provoking a nuclear conflict makes no sense, it’s literally no win. It’s generally accepted that there really isn’t such a thing as a regional or contained nuclear conflict. The other examples are bad, but have a few steps until immediate apocalypse. Even Ukraine with Russia Sabre-rattling about nukes would still have required them to initiate a nuclear conflict on their own. Kashmir is top of the list for how nuclear wars are likely to kick off for last decade.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I dunno, you’d have to really ready to dr.Strangelove it up in a mineshaft to green light this.

This would be an incredibly stupid plan—if they start launching nukes there’s a reasonably high chance that someone else’s detection systems will cause preemptive launches and that’s all folks! Even if that didn’t happen, a serious nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan could cause a global famine for years and be nearly as catastrophic.

Yeah this is just… fuck.

I don’t think you’re far off—I was complaining to my wife that she looked like the folks who have had face transplants, and she informed me she had most likely gotten a bottom facelift done but hadn’t gotten the top done yet. Her taste in black turtlenecks and the android killer face she’s got going really sells the evil empire vibe.

The “I did that” Biden pin is a fun detail. These Vance lollipop kid memes are gonna haunt me forever.

Yeah after I wrote that later on it sorta just popped up — oh this is probably just meaning “don’t take birth control”.

Ah yeah, forgot that angle. My partner was researching that recently, that shit is expensive (not to mention any unpleasant side effects you might have on it). I can’t imagine a plausible scenario where young, non-married women who aren’t already actively trying to get pregnant would just take that stuff though.

How does one “be fertile”? You either are, or you aren’t. I guess they’re saying they should just have lots of babies? Anyhow, gross, just like the other online grifts/psyops.

Guessing they approve of his stance on Israel.

Worth noting the detail in the article that she may have received it because her name/email was on paperwork for clients.

Now, one could say somebody moving quick just made a mistake, but I think you might also imagine here that they’re running huge tranches of paperwork through a RAG LLM, and this is the kind of outcome we can look forward to going forward. You get black bagged to El Salvador to become a slave because GrokAIFed fucked up.

Amusingly, I’m pretty sure SSA employees cannot access X, as it’s blocked by the firewall to make sure they don’t waste any time “shopping” or “reading the news”

According to the totally unintentional and legit executive leak, they stacked 100 them!

Hahah brilliant, love it. Definitely the best way to end that stuff—surprise them or confuse them.
