If you had just said in the first place that it was just your opinion and that you didn't have any evidence, I would have dropped it several posts ago.... OK how about you post Ruperts rules of evidence for having an opinion and I'll do my best next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way I cut a little more slack to Don Cherry over Ron MacLean. MacLean grew up in the 60s/70s, he should know better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4petesake Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 7 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: So no investigation is needed for one of the biggest frauds in history? Nov 14 (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors in New York are probing FTX's collapse, a source with knowledge of the investigations said, after the crypto exchange filed for bankruptcy protection last week following a rush of customer withdrawals. The Justice Department, Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission are now all investigating how FTX handled customer funds as Alameda Research, the proprietary trading firm of FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried, unraveled, the source said. FTX had been confronted with an apparent liquidity crunch after using customer funds to prop up Alameda. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US government representatives like Ed Markey openly attacking Musk and threatening him while he is silent on one of the biggest frauds in US history. Why no tweets from Ed Markey on FTX? Twitter isn't a ponzi scheme and didn't lose billions of investor money like FTX, but the outrage over Elon far exceeds any outrage over FTX by anyone in government. I wonder why that is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter isn't a ponzi scheme and didn't lose billions of investor money like FTX, but the outrage over Elon far exceeds any outrage over FTX by anyone in government. I wonder why that is? It is because when the $8 blue check fiasco happened, Ed was impersonated by a blue checked account. That's why he's been on the war path. Go back in this thread, I posted the story when it dropped. Edit: to add, Elon's response was to mock him. https://www-businessinsider-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-told-sen-markey-real-twitter-sounds-like-parody-2022-11?amp=&_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16688079695846&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Felon-musk-told-sen-markey-real-twitter-sounds-like-parody-2022-11 Edited November 18, 2022 by thedestroyerofworlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Working from home" has become even more prevalent since Covid, things aren't just immediately jumping back to how they were. Particularly in industries where the standard is often remote work or a hybrid model. The tech world isn't, and doesn't have to be, boots on the ground the way some other professions are. Those jumping from Twitter likely won't have a hard time finding jobs either imo. There's always a demand for well educated tech people. Working remotely is a better option for many and there are numerous reasons for that. Time saved from not having to commute, money saved period, not having to deal with microaggressions, misogyny, racism, ect. The list goes on. https://hbr.org/2022/05/why-many-women-of-color-dont-want-to-return-to-the-office?fbclid=IwAR0NOvAFznWNNZujrZiSvD58wgpc9sAzONFMG0JG7RdLFy1n4F4yQT7mLso https://www.ciodive.com/news/Tech-talent-want-remote-hybrid-flexibility/636525/ Edited November 18, 2022 by Coconuts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
