Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don't hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don't support them.

He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It's just a matter of time.

You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won't end well.

I say this as a millennial who drinks and actually did whisky tasting as my main hobby with reviews for 12 years; I get it. I worked with and in the alcohol industry. They have no clue. It's all ego and razor thin margins and old ways of running a business. They are heavily resistant to change of any sort. They will not be able to handle this at all.

Add to that they are owned by rich people as vanity projects who want their ROI ASAP at levels that healthier margin/growth industries could barely achieve and we will start seeing them disappear. Which is too bad, because it's centuries of tradition in some cases, and I find it tasty.

Yes. Source: Me. But I grew up in Montreal, so I'm biased.

Had a VP who was forced to do this (but with commercial flights) 15ish years ago. It was hell and she quit after 4 months. Management was surprised due to their inability to understand people or reality.

I mean, it's gotta be Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle (Pixel Remasters, because I've only played through VI and IV once every 5 years and I should get those numbers up.

They can want it. I don't think it's a bad idea.

American automakers though? They'll either break everyone working on this initiative or bribe the IOC enough to break old bribe records.

Heck, Elon Musk is going to be immensely annoying about this very thing and will be annoying enough.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't try, but they need to accept that sheer tidal wave of pushback coming their way.

I'm not saying there could be a grey market on Meta, but I'm also not not dismissing it's existence.

You may have meant to write this under the cast iron post vs. The taxes under the Harris-Trump Boomer article.
