That’s a lot of wheels. I’d hate to have to inflate all those tires.
So will he pay back the value of what he received? Or will he not disgorge himself of his ill-gotten gains?
Yup, this is really maximize shareholder value. I can totally see this teambuilding event doubling dividends. Wait? You said the company never pays dividends and rarely buys back its stock? Wow, I am really seeing those profits!
Somehow I don’t think Generalissimo Eric Trump is in the cards. Probably someone more like Elon Musk or Sean Hannity. A celebrity that can rile up enough violence to overcome his or her competitors.
This is Enron-scale manipulation. Someone’s ripping off the public and making a mint with the help of the regulators.
I guess they’ll have to shut down their bootstrap-pulling engines for awhile.

I was hoping they would send a bounty hunter myself.
Satan was introduced to test Job, and then Job’s suffering is justified by the Lord’s omnipotence, not omniscience or omnipresence. This is the argument laid out in the Bible as to why one should fear God. Did Job have to curse God for Satan to make his point?
Satan Allowed to Test Job
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” 8 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” 9 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? 10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” 12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
42 Job replied to the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do anything and nothing that you plan is impossible. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that darkens counsel without knowledge?’ Well now, I have talked about what I don’t understand— awesome things beyond me that I don’t know. 4 Listen now, and I will speak for myself; I’ll interrogate you and then inform me. 5 I’ve heard you with my ears; and now I’ve seen you with my eyes. 6 As a result, I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
C. Thomas: Even though I have covered myself in shit, please do not say I stink. It’s unfair!

I just took a Core i5, 6 GB RAM laptop from 2011 and reinstalled Linux Mint and put in a 1 TB SSD. The difference between that and Ubuntu 23.10 and a 750 GB 5400 RPM drive was like night and day.
You would think that with all those kids watching, Xi would lean into the whole Winnie the Pooh resemblance.
They still have huge ports and oil refineries going for them. Until the Permian Basin is drained.
Like many southern states, there is much natural beauty in Texas. It doesn’t seem like many of the locals realize what they are blessed with.
How is it a breach if data was shared intentionally? This is a violation of confidentiality.
Next up: Supreme Court declares Trump a living god. The living god demands a sacrifice.
I wonder what kind of simulators they use to test their code.
So I have a LLM read a book and paraphrase its contents, that’s not stealing?
