The economy is in the tank for everyone but billionaire's. Highlighting again that the United States only gives a shit about the rich.

 

[Kepler]

It does not have to be that way.

I believe Rick & Morty covered this in S1.

22,787 Dreamliners is a lot of Dreamliners!

The Uzbeks must be swimming in oil money!

Better that than the child labor they used to be famous for, I suppose.

Isn’t that also the one ruled by super repressive regimes and is almost impossible to get into? Has an astoundingly beautiful capital?

Edit: I’m thinking of Turkmenistan.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

IIRC, that's Turkmenistan. But all the 'Stans are pretty regressive/Muslim and corrupt.

Starbucks has closed two of their biggest locations in Seattle, on Capital Hill and at the company’s headquarters in SoDo, because the employees at those locations unionized.

Makes perfect sense. Little peons do not deserve livable wages and benefits.

Capitalism, where no time in history has the State been more intertwined and involved with Big Industry!

I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers. He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."...

For a second I thought that was the airport where Delta parted out NWA's 747s and other retired a/c. Then I remembered that's actually Pinal Airpark just up the road.

It would be simple for consumers to simply boycott non-union places. We could force the entire service industry to accept unionization in about 3 weeks.

Honestly the only Starbucks worth going to is the original in Pikes Market.

 

[Slap Shot]

Starbucks is over-roasted garbage, which they have to do because they buy shit beans. I have a dozen smaller shops near me, and if not I'd still sooner have Dunkin than Starsucks.
