No he didn’t fire her. He realized that her position wasn’t as important as he thought and offered her a different position. Now she probably took that as a demotion and chose to leave instead, but what he did was say “You get $50,000 (or whatever) and you claim you are vital to the company and deserve $80,000 (or…

He didn’t fire her. He offered her another position because her current position wasn’t of value. She declined it. It says so right there in the article. Did you read it?

So, because he’s a billionaire, he should just give every person whatever raise he/she asks for? That’s not a very good path to stay a billionaire.

Hard to make any kind of judgment here. We don’t know his side. Who knows what really happened. Whats a ‘considerable’ raise? What was her job performance really like? Who knows

Sounds like a typical scientist/engineer. They look at the data (can he function without her) and make a decision based on the data (yes, he can) and people’s feelings don’t matter.

If your organizers can’t convince people a union is worth it in 13 years, either your message is fucked or people genuinely don’t want you there.

To be honest, Linda uses the “I’m a liberal” stance to silence the minority within the minority. Muslims in US are a minority and looked down upon, but within Muslim…

there are a lot of very legitimate reasons not to like her, you mention them, but then gloss over them. She can be kind of awful but is also a victim of a right wing smear campaign at the same time, they aren’t always mutually exclusive. But saying mainstream news pointing out her occasional awfulness means it’s being…

People seemed to be most conscerned about any EV being able to operate as a primary car, not a secondary, commute-only vehicle. Which makes sense; despite low interest rates and crazy subprime lending opprurones, nobody wants to fill their driveway with single-use vehicles. Only the rich have the income for single-use…

Pakistan is believed to have nuclear-tipped Shaheen and Ghauri IRBMs and Babur III cruise missiles (reverse engineered Tomahawks).

Are we sure that Pakistan’s assistance to North Korea’s nuclear programme ended when the Khan network was dismantled? Pakistan got missile technology from the North Koreans in exchange for centrifuge technology - but did it end there or did Pakistan also share the secret of miniaturising warheads?

That’s not the Beast...

Oh, has Will.I.Am taken a position as head of design?

His most successful tunnelling endeavour to date

Poor Elon, now he’s just a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist

To be specific, we are ghosts piloting a skeleton covered in meat, riding a barely cooled ball of lava hurtling through space.

Obviously the driver misjudged his coronering speed.

You know what I wish would die? Filming vertically!

Looks like a funeral arrangement on wheels.
