I was thinking he was more of a Jack Welch more than a typical grifter really

In my opinion the biggest problem w the police isn’t the officers it’s the training and culture.

That’s sorta the point that people generally have issues with cops dude. It’s the overall culture of shielding of each other from consequences, stoking a “everyone is your enemy”/warrior mentality among officers, bad or lack of training leading to unneeded violent escalation etc.

It’s been police departments dragging their heels and throwing tantrums on addressing these issues that have what caused people’s dislike of them to grow.

He’s seems like one of those shady ass business types that will run a company into the ground while trying to maximize his personal earnings before he skips town on a solid gold private jet.

Looking at the numbers given on Wikipedia is ludicrous.

“Milken’s compensation while head of the high-yield bond department at Drexel Burnham Lambert in the late 1980s exceeded $1 billion over a four-year period, a record for U.S. income at that time.”

That’s already nuts but then you look at the company’s financials and its even more insane.

Revenue: US$4.8 billion (1968)

Net Income: US$545.5 million (1968)

The guy was syphoning off a whole fifth of the company’s entire revenue for the last years of its existence before it went bankrupt.

“[Kevin Klowden, chief global strategist at the Milken Institute] explained that the work stoppage will impact other businesses besides production, including restaurants, catering companies, trucking agencies, and dry cleaning businesses, among many others. ‘The main thing we’re really factoring into it is the lost wages,’ Klowden told Yahoo Finance Live”

Got to sow that discontent for the strikers among other workers. As if the Hollywood business execs give 2 shits.

Also checked up about this Milken Institute and of course it’s some scumbag think tank. The opening paragraph on their Wikipedia page is great and totally makes them seem like a reputable and unbiased source.

“The institute was founded in 1991 by Michael Milken, a former Drexel Burnham Lambert banker who gained notoriety for significant financial success as a pioneer of “junk bonds” as well as his subsequent felony conviction and prison sentence for U.S. securities law violations.”

Asking if I misword something? I’m saying insurance companies are being actively complicit on this ongoing fascist movement by denying trans people coverage to HRT.

Tldr is that the official term “city” in the UK is pretty much entirely ceremonial.

All it means is that the ruling monarch liked your town enough that they would give it city status by royal decree. That’s why “city status” seems so arbitrary because it’s entirely is.

I guess my Florida based insurance provider dropping coverage for my HRT is “just a strawman” turns out

And this is nothing new at all for Apple. I still remember how infuriating it was having to deal with iTunes for moving files to and from my iPod Touch. Jailbreaking so I didn’t have to deal with iTunes was such a relief

Android obviously having no issues with you just having direct access to the file system makes it so much easier

“Try to do that at an airport and you’ll get arrested.”

She knows plane spotting at big airports is a pretty common thing too right? Hell, some airports even have a place where it’s specifically encouraged. Reagan Intl has a park that was built at the end of the runway for plane spotters.

“I’m the media”

You’d think she’d be better at researching basic stuff that takes a 5 second google search to know it’s perfectly fine to do

“Well, there was a bit of a stir when it was decided that since corporations are people, they could technically run for president. But President Walt Disney-Pepsi-Comcast has done wonders for the economy… given that it’s… now the economy”
