Thanks, Lurch
Actually, a potentially genius move. It could temper the climate religious zealotry.

Our online store won’t run transactions from Afghanistan. We had a potential customer yesterday asking if we could create a manual order for him, and I ended up spending 15 minutes trying to decipher the current state of sanctions before we decided we had to decline.
So I’m no legal expert but I’m also in the “pretty sure it’s like super mega illegal” camp.

That guy did not do anything but walking around with appropriate shoes, the heavily geared-up police got stuck.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think cutting a troubled kid off from society or throwing him in jail is the proper course of action.

So yeah if you pick the worst possible angle, taken with a wide angle lense, from what looks like an elevated position... It will look like trash.
I'm not saying it's good, but using a single photo to represent the sculpture is dishonest.

>Don't get me wrong, I thought the same thing, but musk just doesn't have the influence to play King Maker anymore.
Well, it is a roll of the dice. It's not that he isn't TRYING to play king maker and I do hope he fails. However, these people at the top have a tendency to fail upwards. Rupert Murdoch was in the red with Fox News for over a decade -- they paid more for each audience member than they got (paying to get their channel in venues and more than giving it away). Now it makes a profit -- but, it really makes its value by the reality it creates in people's heads. It promotes fascism and props up candidates who work against the working class.
So, who is to say that in two years, Musk doesn't look like a genius with new contracts? Because sometimes, it's not about the money -- it's about convincing people to put the chain around their own necks. That's necessary until the vote can be rigged and they can get the pesky democracy part out of the way.
