They specifically said you can be mad. It's the first sentence in OP's comment. WTF are you on about?

These people are morons with 8th grade reading comprehension skills.
Come to think of it, maybe they are in fact 8th graders?
On its own it's not, but it definitely is in the current political and cultural context. There's no getting away from that. It's going to provoke a political reaction in any conservative and there's no point in pretending otherwise.
Yes. But mostly split-board backcountry, so I'm not doing 20+ runs in a day or hitting the park very often.
Old English used to have feminine, masculine and neuter like most of the other Germanic languages, but we lost it for various historical reasons.
Right, but as all similar such committees eventually learn, there's a pretty strict limit to what they can actually control or regulate. Mostly it's just formal written usage that can be regulated. Spoken language doesn't give a shit about anyone's notions of what's considered correct or incorrect. This is one of the foundational principles of linguistics.
This is actually a win for UAW. They want to unionize Tesla's workers, so any anti-union activity on Elon's part just gives them more ammunition with the NLRB, which has strict rules regarding what ownership is allowed to say publicly. It plays directly into their hands.
Also worth saying that the Biden NLRB is the most pro-union and labor-friendly in history.
No, this is a straight up win for UAW. They are trying to unionize Tesla's workers, so any anti-union activity on Elon's part only plays into their hands at the NLRB level.
This is a win for UAW though. They are trying to unionize Tesla's workers and this behavior gives them an edge on the already labor-friendly NLRB by showing that Elon is actively anti-union.
If anyone thinks for a moment that union organizers don't actively plan this kind of thing out, I can assure that they do. It's part of their job description. My union is a lot smaller than UAW and our organizers get up to all kinds of subterfuge and shenanigans, so I can only imagine what the UAW people are doing.
I personally know two former board members at Nike --because my company did a few million dollars worth of work on their mansion, not because I'm anyone important-- and from what I can tell, their jobs and lives were/are pretty fucking awesome. Just imagine the most glamorous and luxurious lifestyle you can think of, but without the drawback of being publicly recognizable, and that's pretty much it.
It's not meant to be taken literally, it's meant to show how ridiculously inverted the current distribution of wealth and resources is in virtually all major US industries. The point is that the money is there. It's just getting sucked up to the top.
Yeah but neither of those are by choice, they kind of got forced on us through tradition and regulatory capture.
