Maybe you should have read up on the story before running your mouth. Could have saved yourself a lot of embarrassment by just saying “oh thanks I didn’t know” but here we are I guess

Jones is raising a stink because he feels like the bidding process was cut short and the rules were changed once his bid was the clear winner. He’s a moron and he’s wrong and he’s also not allowed to bid, so his bid by proxy will hopefully be caught and punished

The auction house specified that they will not necessarily accept only the highest bid

The trustee and auction house are allowed to accept lower bids. Especially ones that make the creditors more whole, which this one does. So no that’s not why

So what?

They’re just disrupting governance by upleveling inefficient “budgeting” and “oversight” to a blockchain-driven web3 AI powered crypto GaaS (government as a service) product called F.A.R.T.S, or the Federal AI Recurring Transaction System. FARTS will take your dollars and give it directly to four billionaires, cutting out the inefficient “procurement” process we use now to funnel taxpayer money to rich demons.

It doesn’t matter, that’s not the point. The point is precisely that it’s not part of the government. It’s the manifestation of the sort of private capture that has made Musk so rich. They are explicitly taking a governmental responsibility - managing the budget - and moving it out of the government. Away from oversight, away from regulation, with unclear (and therefore definable by them) power and authority, free from any obligation to actually DO anything.

WTF are the x-axis units and why is SpaceX lumped together but everything else is individualized

Look at these two down here huffing their own farts

Commie?

The obvious racism of this aside this is a direct consequence of data brokers and surveillance capitalism making it trivial and cheap to send out texts to minority women in Detroit. That’s an insane thing. Someone probably paid a pittance for these targeted texts.

Why are you people downvoting this lol

I’m with you but it’s time to acknowledge that the Democratic Party and liberalism have failed. We need to offer a genuine, starkly contrasting vision for the future that is wholly different. We can’t be GOP lite and the party of “not Trump.”

That’s why they are “employing” them as spokespeople. They are not paying them to register. They are paying them to represent the PAC, and the job is only available to registered voters in some states.

Still slimy and still questionably legal but not obviously in violation of that statute

This is to circumvent election laws. They employ these people as spokespeople and pay them a million dollars for giving a single appearance. Nothing prevents them from getting up there and saying “fuck Trump and Elon is a slaver” at all.

I mean fuck Musk and fuck Trump for this, but probably not because these folks who “win” are frauds

Which instance?

Oh I misread that…call it election nerves. My bad

ackshuyally

This is /c/politicsmemes holy shit lol
