it’s incredibly depressing reading up on the sbf saga and seeing articles that painted him as some kind of wunderkind because he’d play lol in client meetings, instead of the loving dipshit that he is. multiple entities giving him tens if not hundreds of millions is just further proof that we’re in the late stage and everything just needs to loving crash already

it is funny how all these ‘betters’ of ours continue showing their rear end by investing in things like this and theranos, proving once and for all that they or their parents really just lucked out in a hosed system instead of being some kinds of special geniuses

Is this it? Can we now officially saw Muskie has killed Twitter?

I mean maybe he pulls a miracle out of some software dev or 3 letter agency’s rear end and “X” goes on to do great thingsmake enough money to limp along for a few more years, but now it is something new that Elon founded, not Twitter.

They seem to push authentication by phone number more since that guy leaked confidential documents about the Ukraine war.

You just know that if Musk does this and the site stays afloat, all the other social media execs watching him do this will follow suit and do a rebrand. Watch Zuck completely drop the Facebook name in favor of Meta after this.

I'm guessing they did some research and found that most people react to Twitter by looking for an X to click.

I'm always surprised when I run into people that are making $250k a year for very fake sounding jobs. Does Grey Goose need a something or other marketing team lead for the Canadian Under 30 demographic? I don't know, but someone in their Toronto office has that job, and/or someone in a marketing firm has that account.

When you see the job listings, how can you tell what's a real job and what's a fake posting these days?

I assume those high end vodka companies need as many marketers as they can get because their entire business model is built on convincing Premium Consumers to spend triple for a nicer looking bottle with the same stuff inside.

Under Pressure from Teamsters Leadership, Central States to Extend Health Care Benefits for Workers at Yellow

The Central States Health and Welfare Fund agreed Sunday to extend health care benefits for workers at Yellow Corp. operating companies YRC Freight and Holland, under intense pressure from Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman.

The extension of health care benefits for Teamsters and their families averts a strike at the freight companies, which could have begun on Monday after Yellow failed to make contractually obligated benefit payments of $50 million to Central States on July 15. The agreement by Central States at the urging of the Teamsters gives Yellow 30 days to pay its bills with the understanding the company will do so within the next two weeks.

The intense discussions between Teamsters leadership and Central States successfully convinced fund trustees to reverse their previous decision that health care benefits would end on July 23 if Yellow remained delinquent. O’Brien subsequently ordered the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee to meet in-person with Yellow representatives on Sunday evening. Meetings will take place in Washington, D.C., to review the state of the company and the current contract.

As the Teamsters and Yellow sit down, the reversal by Central States will keep health care benefits paid and hardworking Teamsters on the job for the time being.

“Our members at YRC Freight and Holland cannot work without health care, and the Teamsters worked tirelessly to ensure an immediate strike at Yellow could be averted,” O’Brien said. “These discussions were not easy, but Central States has made meaningful movement under pressure from the union. We are seeking a real resolution, but let this solution today serve as a profound reminder that our members can only endure so many sacrifices. Teamsters at Yellow simply work too hard and have already given so much.”
