Her qualifications are being born into a wealthy political family and getting a BA in English from a religious school associated with the teachings of snake oil salesmen who hardcoded institutionalized racism and sexism into their religion. Not a specific or even a general study of political theory or history, constitutional law (or any other type), or journalism. Then working for a lobbyist media company, followed by nepotism and then shilling for Trump.
She’s not yet contributed anything for the good of humanity. What is something they think she will “contribute?”

Just want to reiterate for those who haven’t had the joy of seeing it the first time: https://www.palworld.com is an insane website.
Laying people off instead of offering to move them to the now-more-important projects has to be one of the dumbest management moves that tech companies repeatedly do. These are people already trained on all the policies and procedures and tooling and “culture” specific to your company.
It’s going to be more expensive to hire and train new people when the dumdums in upper management finally figure out the mistakes they made that got them to a point where they decided they need to cut jobs and projects, and the ramp-up time before you actually start seeing progress on those priorities is going to be seriously lengthened. Of course they won’t acknowledge it was their fault in the first place, and again the heads roll on the wrong end of the corporate ladder.
Rich people having to take a ferry to the mainland to get their weed = immediate effort from legislators.
When they announced this, it was the last straw for me with Amazon that caused me to finally cancel Prime, which I’ve paid for annually since it was first offered. Things I’ve been complacently shrugging off until now:
-
their delivery misses/delays have gotten consistently worse over the past year and a half
-
they screwed up my combined music library when they changed Amazon Music, which was working great before the change
-
Audible keeps pushing up-sale subscriptions I don’t want, and is inconsistently working with Android Auto now (but was fine until about a year ago)
-
Prime Video ads and up-sale “channels”
-
book editions (especially textbook editions): they limit the ability to re-sell old editions of textbooks when newer editions are currently in print. Many classes specify old editions because that’s what the curricula and syllabi have built around and the profs can take responsibility for validating the content. This is a serious issue with the number of errors that manage to get past editors for math and science texts, and they publish new editions for cash grabs when no actual new or useful information has been added.
They really don’t have to do much to keep me complacent tbh - just stop breaking things that already work(ish). Find whatever the deliverable requirements were in like 2015 and just return to those.
Followed instructions but verification failed, seems like nothing happened except dick got stuck in toaster again. Using Arch, btw.
He owns a yacht. I’d be interested to hear of a single yacht owner who is a decent person. I’m not sure one exists.
Edit: Thanks for the cool examples of decent people with yachts!
