Sure, it’s just a way to raise taxes on the public without calling it that. Upside is they bring in a lot of money quickly. Downside is they do a fuckton of irreparable damage to the US economy, the standard of living of people in the USA, and a fair bit of collateral damage to the rest of the world. But at least Elon gets his tax breaks for another couple of years so yay!
The funny thing is that it’s supposed to stimulate US manufacturing. Like companies are going to invest years of time and billions of dollars building factories and moving production to the US, because of a tariff system that changes every 2 days.
I had a feeling he would try something like this. If you only need to convince 57 thousand people, throwing money at them is a very real option. But I never imagined he would go so cheap. 2 million dollars for every man woman and child would only cost the USA 120 billion dollars. Not a bad price for Greenland. 10k is a fucking insult.
D can also happen if the 00:45 job was before the 00:15 job, which thanks to the magic of daylight savings, is also possible
I have a taxi company. On one night, one of my drivers did two jobs, one dispatched at 00:15, the other at 00:45, and he clocked off at 02:15. How long was he working for?
A) 1 hour
B) 2 hours
C) 3 hours
D) 2 hours 30 minutes
E) any of the above
At all levels too. I mean, why the 24 hours a day fluorescent lights so you don’t know night from day? How does that help? Hell, how does it even make more money? Even with senior management, the cruelty is the point.
“tell Vance he can schedule any time after Monday”
