They absolutely do their jobs very thoroughly - but only where it will have no repercussions for them. There probably isn’t even a shift assigned to this lot, thanks to some back room agreement with the cops.

Agreed and thats probably why his apology fell on the sword so completely: there’s no cost to admitting the moral failing and he is confident in the long run he will get away with it.

But material violations of commerce or espionage laws…. There’s zero about that in his apology and he will deny and fight like hell.

My only point here is to point out how trivial the human / moral / family dimension obviously is to him. Compete and total admission of guilt right away. Because he doesn’t give a fuck. Only thing that actually moves him is his job and company.

Losing 4% of your body mass would be 5-7 fingers.

Don’t worry, corporations and shareholders definitely feel 4%. The average consumer always sees small percentages like this and thinks they don’t matter. They do.

His apology was so pat and by the numbers. You just know he had AI write it.

The actual explanation is “I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”

It’s his security blanket.

Yeah I’m sure the annihilation would be detectable. I’m asking if there’s any way short of that to detect the antimatter particle.

We forget sometimes that part of women’s liberation is that a woman is free to be just as big an asshole as a man.

Yeah I don’t even know if the company I work for has actually gotten more benefit than it’s cost us. The bill is significant, for one thing. For another we have a whole group of people developing AI tools for internal use now. They aren’t cheap. Of course there’s some benefit but is it net positive? No idea. Is it hugely positive? Fuck no.

I hear his bolsonaro has a flavio.

Yeah. A naive response would be “isn’t UPS big too?” But the shipping is only part of retail logistics. When you also control the warehousing distribution, and can back-feed logistical availability data all the way to the retail interface to affect what people buy in the first place… you have power that no fleet of trucks alone can overcome.

Yeah a few days is nothing. But two weeks is disturbingly common. And lack of any predictability is rampant.

Can only assume the cheaper option is the higher volume option that will have better leverage from economies of scale. Lower price is usually where that surfaces but I can easily see it surfacing as more flights and faster delivery if the route is just right.
