I'm hoping the infighting really slows down the fascism just a lil bit. I'm really hoping we can get trump and musk to fight because they're both egotistical assholes. Please somebody ask them who's smarter during a public appearance.

I already know you aren't going to change your mind, and I already answered your initial question, so why would I keep arguing with the proverbial village idiot?

That's fair, I definitely jumped to the "they wanna take away fireworks" conspiracy on my end, too much arguing on the Internet for me this week >.<

I do hope they look into it. I just know how freaked out my pets have been in the past, inconsolable at times, so the fireworks being a real factor wouldn't surprise me. I'd hope they would have meds to help calm the animals, but I wonder if they were too young for them, or had a dosage issue.

I had a whole thing earlier but was mistaken, the baby was 3 months old not a newborn. Either way, I still don't doubt that fireworks could easily stress out a very young animal and be the tipping point of their health.

I'm not sure what could motivate them to make a grand conspiracy against fireworks, rather than the more likely result of them being exhausted and frustrated caretakers who, like any pet owner, probably spent that evening trying to calm the panda down only to watch it panic until it died. Stress vomiting isn't really rare for animals on the 4th of July. It's just the extreme end of stress.

None of these people "make" anything. They get paid millions to tell other people to make things. Overpaid. If you can't grasp that, I don't think I can help you. It's like trying to convince the village idiot the factory owner isn't the one making the product. CEOs have value, but the value is not worth what they're paid. He gets no extra credit from me for being an overpaid manager, who is also a piece of shit human being.

I rephrased it, but I still dunno how you're finding somebody "petty". Petty implying shallow, vain, selfish. And somehow Musk is... better than most CEOs? The man who didn't like people shit talking him on Twitter so he bought it and ran it into the ground?

[-] Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 days ago

Are you saying other CEOs look petty? Or the actual employees and talent at SpaceX look petty?

Sure a CEO does other shit. It's all the same stuff a manager would do. You really think that if daddy Musk vanished the literal rocket scientists working there wouldn't be able to keep doing their work? The trained accountants and managerial staff would curl up under their desks unable to carry on? The value of a CEO is both real, and extremely overstated. They'd have a new CEO before the end of the month.

In a nutshell, yes he runs the company. No it isn't some badge of genius, he manages a company. Many other people are just as, if not more qualified.

If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They're a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.
