I think you give Musk WAY too much credit.

The drug adled guy who caused Twitter to lose 85% of its value and to become a racist hate filled Russian propaganda machine?

This should be good.

Very much this.

Just look at the TPP. The US tried to write the rules and the rest of the partners said, "No." The US said, "Screw you guys, we're going home!" and stormed off in a snit assuming the deal would fall apart without them but it didn't and it ended up being better without the US imperialist bullshit. Then, US farmers realized that they were getting fucked because the US wasn't part of the deal ([1], [2], [3]) and the US came back demanding to be let in and the US imperialist bullshit restored to the agreement. Once again the partnerd said, "No".

Let's let the US leave whatever they want to leave, renegotiate everything without them, then only let them return under the new terms. The world will be a much better place in the end.

EDIT: Trump ordered the US to withdraw from the TPP because the partners wouldn't be bullied into accepting one-sided andi-competitive, anti-consumer protections for US industry and a dispute resolution process that favoured the US but that the US would ignore when it lost.

Last I heard it was 4%.

Maybe it will make 5% next year, then.

This will be the best thing that ever happened to Linux. Hell, it might even make it up to 4.5% market share.

Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I'm eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.

They didn't do it last time so vote neo-fascist Christian national because they surely will? Give you fucking head a shake.

I'm a Candian. I'm suggesting that voting for Democrats would be far more likely to get you universal healthcare than voting for the neo-fascist Christian nationalists.
