Glad you’re back! Be good to yourself. You’re allowed to be a big baby when a virus invades.

We all believe in paid sick, family, and maternity leave. So why the fuck is Jon so hard on himself when he gets sick? Be good to yourself, dude. We need you!

To paraphrase: To understand someone's intelligence, look to how they spend their money. Musk and Twitter! The Cleveland Browns and DeShawn Watson! Bezos and the Washington Post! Just because you have money (however obtained) doesn't mean you know how to spend it!

Bill, or mean you are intelligent. Trump’s business practice is to stiff his contractors. Great plan if someone is stupid enough to deal with him.

I overheard a successful contractor explain how to deal with the orange idiot: since Trump pays 50 cents on the dollar we charge 2X the rate.

Trump also likes to stiff contractors and then go back and ask them to do more work (and of course get stiffed again). Guess that’s where he got the idea to be a total asshole and still be a cult leader. What did H. L. Mencken say…..

The Invisible Hand writes the best of all possible books! (even though it sounds like a shadowy villain organization from a James Bond movie)

In fact, here’s a song called The Invisible Hand in the style of a James Bond movie theme 🤘: https://youtu.be/MwoeD9ESslk

I watched the Tesla event live and it was very very cult like. Surprised the Optimus robots did not serve koolaid. It reminded me of the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes were the radiation scared humans are worshipping the doomsday device. Rest up Jonathan.

I guess that Musk thinks that Trump will win, and he wants influence in the new administration.
