    You know, history repeats itself. An American billionaire business tycoon is being chummy with a fascist leader. Where have we seen that before? (hint: Henry Ford was buddies with Hitler and Ford subsidiaries still operated and worked for Nazi Germany in spite of the war).

          The Marine Corps keeps his legacy. As one of only two Marines to earn the Medal of Honor twice, it’s one of the things they force you to memorize. They yell out “Two Marines, Two Medals” and we’d all scream “Dan Daly and Smedly Butler sir”. One of the first required readings I had when I got to my unit was “War is a Racket”; still got the book report somewhere lol

      Yeah, but Ford’s cars worked. Musk can’t keep the steering wheels and hitches from falling off.

          I didn’t mention twitter and I’ve never even had an account there in the first place. From my perspective, it does not work. You use to be able to view posts without an account.

        Ford invented the concept of planned obsolescence. He literally invented enshitification. Musk is just the logical conclusion of Ford’s abysmal view of the world.

        Btw, Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
