Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The second one is the part that seems especially iffy. Since he was still employed as security after they were married despite her also hiring an entire private security company along with her husband and her husband apparently not having any license for private security. He could have been acting as the go-between between her and the security companies. That's something I could see having actual security experience being an advantage.

Gnumonic posted:Isn't it generally illegal to deny people access to anything that would otherwise be open to the public on the basis of religion? It is a private event and other Muslim people were invited, so they weren't denied based on their religion. They were denied because they were apparently organizing a group to RSVP to the event to protest during the speech and argue that civilian deaths on 10/7 were a false flag by Israel and whoever was running the event didn't let anyone from that group in. Even if it were a public event, political affiliation isn't a protected class. You can deny service based on political beliefs. Edit: This is another situation where a quick google after reading a random tweet from an account with 50 followers would probably answer your question.

You have to be able to prove that it was because of your religion. Not because you were being an rear end in a top hat before you turned the camera on, and not because you were part of a group the campaign very much does not want to be associated with (their link list includes a "What Really Happened on Oct 7th" link that, by itself, is more than enough reason for any campaign to disinvite them).

yeah they got caught because their planning wasn't suave and they were able to get flagged for denied entry at the door. its how it goes sometimes, apparently using signal and keeping your mouth shut about The Plan is hard having failed at that fundamental level of the intended task, their backup option was apparently to go to town on whichever event organizer was posted there

trevorreznik posted:When yiz are discussing culture or the lack thereof, what are you specifically referencing? I assume it isn't the resident companies in the major performing arts: symphony, ballet, opera, and theatre (which Houston has, for example) nor the major museums in places like Chicago? I can't speak for the neighborhood in Pittsburgh, but I can tell you right now that the Industry neighborhood of Muncie, IN has access to none of that. Muncie is a college town, and on the side of town north of the river we got Indian and sushi finally in the 2010s, none of that poo poo is in the least bit accessible to residents living across the river and across the tracks. You could buy a house where the previous owner OD'd on meth for low 5 digits if you want, but your car is going to get broken into every other week. There's not a grocery store or restaurant near you either, because the zoning is prohibitive and even the corner stores regularly went out of business because they got robbed so often in my neighborhood (which shares a border in the railroad track) Similarly, there are cool outdoor areas and local museums dedicated to the Ball family (you may know them for the glass jars), but all of those are in and around the university campus, on the far side of town from Industry. Basically, if you want to have "local color"-level amenities available at "making a trip to the city" distances you can, but you have to go home some time and the view from your window is going to be BLEAK.

in my own lived experience i stopped thinking of places as having a "high cost of living" it was really just that amenities straight up cost more in areas where people's poo poo wasn't getting jacked daily by roving addicts. people are basically paying a "don't have to wake up wondering if you're hearing a cutoff on your catalytic" tax, and as more of the US becomes defined by the social casualty of neoliberal neglect, and the areas where that isn't true shrink to a smaller and smaller portion of where you can even live, the cost divide just goes up and up

mobby_6kl posted:This will get Hamas and Israel to chill out I know this is just flippant, but this is what organizing political power looks like. Make the people you can sway go on the record. Heighten the contradiction: why are the politicians I can talk to willing to hear me out and even go along with this, but the ones in DC I only ever talk to an Intern or get a form letter back from all seem completely unreachable on this topic? Longer term goal is to be able to remind a city counselor who wants to become a mayor, or a mayor who wants to become a congressperson who they are and where they came from. From a “leftist attempting to influence liberals” perspective it’s good because you’re forcing even words you wouldn’t have been able to get in previous years, and also it will out the rats if they turn on you later. If you oppose the genocide, there’s almost no downside to this kind of effort.

Liberals are gambling on the belief that they can ignore the pissed off anti-genocide anti-war portion of their party despite the party continuing to shift against the war Every week more politicians call for a ceasefire as the party elders continue to push the war and Biden prepares to expand the conflict further into other ME countries Sounds like a good plan.

A judge in Delaware just prevented Elon Musk from being paid $58 billion by Tesla. Tesla shareholders sued arguing that he had not earned that money based on the performance of the company and the board that awarded him that compensation was unduly under the control of Elon. https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1752475628929003734 This ruling drops Elon's net worth by about 25%. He is not taking it well. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1752455348106166598 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1752486201083543842 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1752491924848820595 quote:New York CNN — A Delaware state court judge has thrown out the 2018 pay package that helped to make Tesla CEO Elon Musk one of the richest people in the world.

Tiny Timbs posted:What is he talking about? It was shareholders that sued him in the first place. Not "real" ones or the "majority" of shareholders. Very few individual shareholders voted in the 2018 vote for his pay package, but of those that did, 73% voted in favor. The lawsuit is from "outside activist investors" who represented the shareholders who didn't vote or who voted against his compensation plan. The biggest shareholders in most companies are mutual fund companies or institutional investors who own the shares on behalf of mutual funds or retirement accounts. They generally do not interfere with the running of the company and either abstain from voting or proxy vote however the board recommends. The board recommended everyone support Elon's pay package and most of the funds followed the board recommendation like they usually do, but the shareholders that sued argued that Elon had undue control over the board and improperly used it to have them recommend the pay package for him.

This is kind of an amazing passage:quote:Some investors and analysts have suggested it would be a good idea for Tesla to offer Musk a new pay package in order to keep him focused on Tesla’s success rather than distracted by his other interests. Literally paying a grown man tens of billions of dollars to distract him from tweeting and bribe him into doing work like a toddler. Also, lmao at Musk claiming that Delaware Chancery Court is biased against corporations.

https://x.com/npl_palestine/status/1752371370598834607?s=20 Looks to me like this story has legs and some legitimacy. It's horrible optics in any case and adds to a growing narrative that the Democrats are pretty similar to Republicans when the rubber meets the road. Trump has a 4-5 point lead nationally and the Biden team is acting like he's the one 4-5 points ahead like he was in 2020. They're acting like they can win with just their diehards and they can't.

My understanding is that most companies incorporate in Delaware due to the long history of other companies having incorporated in Delaware, so there’s a similarly long legal history in Delaware and companies like that boring legal framework to exist in. So Elon’s totally going to switch to Texas and put a dog on the board of directors.
