@EdwardJDavey >thing keeps happening and people keep getting mad about it.
Politicians “how can we stop people getting mad? I know, tell them they are wrong for being angry, and that they are only angry due to social media”

Maybe try stopping the thing happening again and again….

Because they don’t believe in borders, so every person on earth is equally entitled to be anywhere. So if any one group is causing problems somewhere then it is the exact same as anyone else doing it so people should be just as outraged regardless of who does something.

It makes some sense in their fantasy world, but in the real world, that does have borders and differences between people, it does not.
And people are justifiably outraged by things done by people who should not be here in the first place if gov was doing a proper job with border control.

Because it is an avoidable problem.
With tighter immigration, lower numbers, more checks, rather than letting in clearly mentally ill nasty people, these kinds of incidents would be avoided.
Yes of course native people are also capable and do commit horrible crimes, but that is another issue and much harder to just fix.
But crimes committed by people who should never have been here in the first place are easy to stop.

@BBCPolitics You don’t make up for discrimination one way that was wrong in the past by discriminating the opposite way now.
You end the discrimination and do the right thing now.

@gamingfinch @proptechpioneer It is not just greed. These companies have investors, shareholders who invest to make returns.
Without the returns, people don’t invest, meaning it’s harder to expand the business. Also it can be harder to get financing to expand etc.

[Dart Rippington @FullFridge2]

And for a business like Tesco they are not
Absolutely fine. They have tiny margins and are massive affected by policy changes like NI, minimum wages, equality laws etc. tiny changes to minimum wage cannot be easily absorbed so they have to cut staff, automate more, make cuts elsewhere, pay farmers less etc to even be able to maintain the small margin they have.

10 years pizza experience…
It’s like saying 10 years toilet cleaning experience.
Just because you have a lot of experience and are good at what you do doesn’t change the value to others proportionally to the experience.
A dominos pizza is not worth significantly more if it’s made by someone who is really good at making them. Nor is a toilet cleaning.

@proptechpioneer @gamingfinch They always miss the point. They just see big number and thus don’t see any problem.

It’s not about the fact he would not have survived.
It’s about how he was treated and not believed because of the bias police are taught. They are so afraid of being accused of being racist that they treat ethnic minorities differently to white people.
People just want everyone to be treated equally, regardless of their race.

People see Elons insanely large ambition and scale and naturally extrapolate that forward.
So Tesla with its Optimus robots and SpaceX with orbital data centers and colonising other planets.
Normally people would factor in the ability to deliver, but the rate Elon does deliver and scale at means it’s more plausible than most.
His companies move very fast and are extremely innovative and basically every one has been a huge success.
That being said the timeframes for this stuff is 20-40 years imo so I do think people are getting a bit over excited for now. Rockets are not easy, not is 100x’ing or more earths entire chip fab output.

@kisstheblade1 @Robotbeat “This concept car doesn’t even work yet and has cost billions to develop so far, so why bother making it”
How do you think anything gets made?
Development costs are normal for everything. And the potential payoff is worth it.

When people get offended and feel racism directed toward them merely because of “attitude and vibe” rather than direct verbal insults, it’s entirely subjective.

Some people literally regard “acting white” or “whiteness” as something they find offensive, and feel that white people doing that are only doing so as some weird indirect attack on them and their race, to make them feel bad or put them down for who they are.

[Dart Rippington @FullFridge2]

@ScandiJourno @Emma_A_Webb So you email someone asking to go to their party island and that automatically makes you complicit to everything that goes down there?
Lots of people have private islands and probably get up to all sorts but doesn’t mean every guest knows about it or wants to be a part of it.

[Dart Rippington @FullFridge2]

@GordonL07991376 @CraigWatte001 @Emma_A_Webb How so? Started many extremely successful companies in very technical fields. Once might be a fluke but he’s done it 4-5 times over.

@dantefofante Good rule of thumb is don't change ph of mouth too frequently. The more you do the more likely you will get cavities. Frequency matters.

[Dart Rippington @FullFridge2]

What this women does not understand is if you have to have state level validation and support of every single group, where does it end? Why stop at pride flags, BLM flags? Why not disabled people, vegans, people with anxiety, over weight people, support for Palestine, support for Israel, support for Ukraine, support for every current thing or label.

These are all things individuals can support and care about if they like, and put up flags of their own. But they should not expect tax payer funded institutions to do so.
They represent our nation and that is it.

@xiongmao_ai @8teAPi Easy to say that now but once they have $100m in liquid assets those priorities will change for some.

[Dart Rippington @FullFridge2]

@rawespresso Not true.
Young people can save agggressively while living at home and invest considerably more than £100 a month if they choose to.
£300-500 a month is quite doable.
£6000 a year. Invested aggressively can make a substantial return over 5-10 years. 6 figures possible in ISA

@MikeEmbrich @elonmusk It feeds you what engages you the most, which is usually views that outrage you.
That is why you think this. I see extremely dumb takes as well but from different sides.
Doesn’t mean that is what everyone sees.
