Oh yes I’m aware. I’m clearly missing, or at least have a reduced expression of, that gene. I play soccer multiple times a week, meanwhile I couldn’t possibly care less about watching soccer; or any sport for that matter.

With a huge side helping of mafia style blackmail. They stopped hiding it a long time ago.

So literally every single above average sports fan?

The pathological need to be part of a group so bad it overwhelmes all reason is a feature I have yet to understand. And I say that as someone who can recognize in myself those moments when I feel the pull to be part of an in group.

Yup, all fair points and why I was asking hoping OP or someone else might have insights. Thanks.

Avoiding the obvious hot button issue, I'll just say I was assuming the observation could have pre-dated the current war AND there are other non-jews in Israel than just Palestinians.

Perhaps, but you can't prove it. :p

[bows] you're too kind, I do what I can.

[sigh] I'll never understand this world.

I won't totally disagree. But a lot of employees will lose their jobs and an innovative competitor would leave the market. Maybe a middle ground would be like, a hostile takeover bid that also merged them with Rivian or something. Then a rename to "eXla" just to fuck with Elon :)

Is there any chance the ones making all the ruckus and disrespect were non-Jewish Israelis? That's not an excuse but it makes it make more sense than actual Jews being so disrespectful. And if it is young Jews doing it, can you make it make sense? Do you have some sense for why / how they might be thinking?

Keeping in mind just being bad tourists doesn't quite explain it. Kids groups tend to be shite tourists no matter where they are from. But even I knew as a 10yo not to act stupid when visiting some of the more somber locations I went to in the US; no less as a 21yo when I visited Dachau as a non-Jew.

In an IDEAL world, Musk will be removed as CEO for both failure to perform (he's literally not doing his job given that he's doing all his DOGshitE) and the harm he's bringing to the brand. No other CEO would be allowed to get away with this.

Then, in a JUST world the stock will stabilize, start to grow again, and everyone will get back on the EV train with Tesla included. While the Muskrat watches from the sidelines like the loser he is.

CAVEAT: only if he also doesn't still own any more of the stock than he could get owning VTSAX like the rest of us.

You know, I had a gut reaction to your post, "If it's in the law they have to honor it!"

But then I remembered what timeline we're in. The one where congress and the courts have abdicated themselves to the Executive Branch. The one where there is nothing to stop the Republicans in congress from making promises, putting them into the budget, Trump flatly denying it (aka Impoundment), and congress and the courts not pushing back.

It can 100% happen and we have the evidence and precedent now to prove it.

I don't believe you. PROVE IT!!!

You bet your ass it is!

All of them!

Military boosted my 1972 ass before deploying in 2004. Woot!

Doesn't matter. They are good enough to justify denial of clearance which means loss of job.

I have no faith that lawsuits will prevail here based on precedence supporting polygraphs as a credibility and suitability discriminator.

"But still [he] persisted!"

The woman was upset over the restaurant’s policy of allowing only one coupon per table.

No doubt there's some juicy irony that she's probably stressed about money because she can't afford eggs. Not saying that's an excuse, I'm saying that's extra seasoning for the Leopard >:-]>
