I mean, it's not for purely altruistic reasons...

Lead fucks people up and slowly turns them into rage addicted assholes.

We got enough of those these days, I'd like the amount to go down over the next couple decades. So I never skip a chance to talk about the dangers of lead exposure

The good news is it's not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it's not like you need to constantly monitor it.

We were/are worried that there’s a lack of direction and they’re just generating mysteries without any intention of solving them.

Yeah, that's the most likely ending.

It might be a fun ride for another couple seasons, but I have no faith there'll be a good ending

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That's actually a really bad sign...

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that's 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:

Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.

This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn't get a response.

How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?

Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal

There's two reasons Biden said it was a good thing

  1. The military industrial complex will make a bunch of money off India.

  2. Modi's desire to fuck over his own citizen to grab the title of "the world's sweatshop" from China.

We can do better than someone willing to pretend Modi is a decent human and not a racist monster.

Unfortunately our next presidential election the choice will be Biden or trump/DeSantis.

So we need to wait another 5 years before that's possible.

Why is half of it asking for investments?

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article

Because the building was an asset during the sale...

On paper it was "smart" to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale because it would have been an immediate loss affecting the price.

Just kicking the can down the road

Also, people like him care about the high score.

Losing 50% of his wealth wouldn't change his lifestyle. But it would destroy his ego and make him keep making rasher decisions until it's all gone.

He'll keep taking risks he doesn't need to, and since he's leveraging against other holdings, it becomes a house of cards situation real quick.

There was escrow fail-safes.

If they didn't pay, there was funds sitting there to avoid downtime.

Took a while to burn through them, then they never got replenished.
