It makes this tweet extra sweet

screenshot of a Greg Abbott tweet:

Greg Abbott v
@GregAbbott_TX •
I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials.
You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas
Guard do it.
No Guard can match the training, skill, and Show more

“What if we ran the country like business? A teetering business that feels like it could disappear overnight when the people running it flee leaving behind some phones and empty desks?”

I use every kind of computer and they are each terrible in their own way but it does remain funny to me that if you have a Linux issue there is always someone who says “oh that’s easier to do than on win/mac you have just have to use nano to edit the thisissoeasyanyonecouldit file.”

Always a great sign when an interviewer has to ask directly “what do you say?” And you still turn cannot come up with an answer. Amazing that he thinks of himself as a tough guy

Fearless is not the first word that comes to mind when describing a publication whose most consistent ethos seems to be, “to my millionaire readers I just want you to know that you are right about everything! And anything that makes you uncomfortable is bad.”

Going to continue to harp on the difference worker productivity, aided by robotics has changed the game.

As another example, from a WSJ editorial the last time trump tried this, a factory that produced 500,000 tons of steel a year with 1,000 employees in the 1960s can down do that with 14 people.

A chart showing the man hours required to produce 1 ton of steel showing that in 1980 it took 10.1 man hours verse 2017 when it only took 1.5 man hours. A drop of 85%

It sucks so bad. Every anti social dork from freshman hs is in charge now. Not good the dorks but the ones who don’t like anyone, including themselves and think that distaste for people is what makes them smart.

Right. Contrary to NYT’s stated position that it must not take sides - it is actually often taking side of normalizing the insanity of the right so it seems equivalent to the left. This is the job as they see it.

Last I heard Joe Khan/NYT was proud of how credulously they accept and refuse to judge the slop the get fed.
