Fragile masculinity combined with wanting to appear sufficiently tech savvy to tech bro investors. Tech bros want nerds because pretty much every dollar they’ve ever made was off the back of some innovation of someone they consider a nerd, so Elon wants to be the biggest nerd to tech bros so they will throw even more money at his dumb projects.
Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.
Put your money where your mouth is an deport the most well known illegal immigrant for all his sexual abuse and harassment: Elon.

As a Minnesotan I’m okay with this.
Terminator Genesys. It’s loathed by terminator fans for a variety of reasons and I won’t defend any of the writing or casting decisions, but I do give it credit for trying to do something new with the story and time aspect. I think it could have been a lot better if they took a bit more time with it and recast a few characters, but overall it’s a popcorn flik to me, turn your brain off and enjoy.
That’s called dysentery.

What overwhelming evidence in this case? The evidence made public definitely seems to imply he’s not the one who shot the CEO.
Why would a person take such a carefully planned route through the city to Central Park, change clothes and dump their bag, only to keep their gun, fake IDs and hand written manifesto/confession on their person three days later while eating lunch at a restaurant? If Luigi was the shooter and looking to take credit as what has been released of the manifesto implies, why hide out for three days instead of publicly turning themselves in after informing the press so it’s recorded and likely televised?
They caught a guy, 3 days after after the killing in the surveillance state of a city that is NYC. And some compelling evidence they didn’t catch the killer but just some guy that might have been in a watch list.
Probably the only good thing he’d ever do, look forward to seeing how they fuck it up.
By whom? And how was it verified? The fact that he had a social media presence doesn’t mean anything, and can equally be argued that he would have just posted it online rather keep it hidden on his person.
As long as UBI covers basic living expenses, then yes I would support it. Capitalism, as it exists in the west, is not sustainable and if it continues as is, there is probably going to be massive employment issues within a generation as common working people without specialized degrees and can’t afford to get them will be unemployable due to automation, AI and robots completing most common labor jobs cheaper and more efficiently.
I know the pushback against UBI is that if you take away the need for people to work to live, most people won’t work… and honestly I’m okay with that. I doubt there would a be serious decline in people seeking work because if you can still earn extra income for luxuries and nicer things over what UBI would cover… why wouldn’t you? And those who are content to sit at home or not work, is fine by me. Because I’ve worked with a lot of people over the years who only have a job because someone told them they needed a job. They were miserable fucking people to be around and we were more productive the days they called in sick or skipped. Some people should be paid to stay the fuck at home, and society would be a better place for it.
While I believe Klipperstein has a copy of something, we’ve as of yet have no evidence that Mangione wrote it.
Hence the ‘Trust me bro’ part. Hand written manifesto saying everything the police want to hear to speedrun the trial from a guy who works in the tech business who would have posted it online if he actually wanted to get caught. Far too many pieces of evidence seemed to have fallen into the lap of the police after literal days of not even being sure if he was still in NYC or not.
If he was the shooter, which I won’t rule out at this phase, and didn’t want to get caught, why would he keep the gun, manifesto and fake IDs on his person, especially when just going out to lunch? If he did want to get caught… why would he leave NYC? He could have turned himself in any police station or tried to start a rally till someone with cuffs took him into custody. Why would he abandon the bag in Central Park and not leave the manifesto there?
Recounting the “facts” as they’ve been reported is copium?
Could he be the actually shooter? Maybe.
There is a lot of coincidences here that don’t really add up. It’s an uncanny and extremely lucky break for the police to go almost three days without any clue to the whereabouts or true identity of the shooter, to catching him away from his home eating lunch and just happening to carry all the things that link him to the crime in a public place.
This young man had the foresight to use fake IDs, unregistered firearm, preplan and escape route and dump several items he’d no longer need after the crime, only to have at least 48 hours after the crime to dump these items anywhere between NYC and Altoona but he chose to keep all the items that he would know police could track or link to the crime?
The CCTV grade pictures and video can be handwaved for not being a good match of the shooter by their poor quality, maybe there is an argument he wore a prosthetic. But having all the rest of the stuff on his person like he’s expecting to get caught is uncanny.
Maybe there is some argument that he was being sentimental or thinking he was far enough away no one would link him. Maybe this is some attempt at a 4D chess move to make it look like he’s being framed. Or just maybe all the items claimed to have been found on his person at a McDonalds was really found several days ago in the backpack with monopoly money in Central Park and Law Enforcement rushed the items to the place of his arrest to plant such evidence. Or is there some fourth options where he is the shooter, but he knows the evidence was left in NYC and is calling out it as being planted to force the law enforcement agency to tip their hand and reveal some warrentless and illegal surveillance?
Honestly, I have no idea, but what has been put forth by Law Enforcement right now doesn’t really pass smell the test. The urgency at which they pushed him in front of a judge certainly doesn’t help that. Usually cases such as this, the prosecution at least takes a few days to go over all the evidence they have and research the suspect in custody to better decide what charges are appropriate and strategy to present the case.

There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who benefit from the system, those who are exploited by the system, and those who deluded themselves into thinking the system benefits them.
