$1 Million? That's it? I mean, you can wander down University Avenue in Palo Alto and stop a random suit on the street and tell them about your brilliant idea for "Agentic AI Potatoes" and likely get $1 Milllion handed to you right there.
"We will never get over the revelation that came out of this era that some people actually thought The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice were shows about a real and good businessman."
This is what sent this country into the doom spiral we're currently in - people who are too dumb to know that TV shows are fake.
Maybe we really do get the government we deserve; I go back and forth about tbat.
OT: I talked to a family member last night who works in the St Paul school district in MN. They just had a professional development day and the superintendent told the assembled staff that ICE has kidnapped 900 students thus far.
And he's probably going to nuke Iran. Due to stupidness and dementia-having.
At which point the entire country -- or at least the vast sane but often uninformed majority -- should literally skin and filet every member of that administration.
Baudrillard would have enjoyed this. This is beyond his final stage of the hyperreal, where the signifiers replace the actual product (in his model, Disneyland as the simulacrum vs real life).
Here, his failures in business and in economics are so blatant that the only way he can pretend to be a "successful businessman" is in a fake staged 'hyperreal' version of the hyperreal fake version he was featured on many years ago, a fake of a fake in order to try to recreate the fraudulent "aura" he had back then, a simulacrum of a simulacrum
This is basically having 5 small businesses compete in the hunger games, because you don’t plan on enacting any policies that would actually benefit small businesses in the real world.
Look at this spectacle! Don’t trouble yourself that we’re prevailing over the closing of more small businesses, that has only been exceeded during the peak of the covid pandemic.
So no one gets 1 million dollars? They are splitting the money up between the five contestants? Might as well draw numbers out of a hat as that would be just as exciting to watch.
Sorry, can’t tune in, I’ll be committing seppuku, but you crazy kids have fun!

People watch this shit? I'll be damned.

"...piitch for a share of $1 Million..."
You mean, like a penny?

Jesus fucking Christ
"also he is too old to host reality TV himself these days."
Now THAT is decrepit!
I’d like to see them keep Trump off the stage, I don’t think it’s humanly possible for him.
He fires everybody the second episode and takes over.
You're right! Just like FIFA, he'll get up on stage and linger in an off putting way, trying to be part of the lame ass action!
Prezidint Kudzu.
So disappointed in Nicki Minaj. But I guess she's got enough money that she doesn't care if she gets deported.
Nikkos Mianajopoulos
Instead of you’re fired…
Nikki gets deported.
Next to last episode
Will be wild!
Like Milo YAWNopolis? That would be a fun leopard eating face story!
The ratings would be huge!
I might even watch that!
“ one of you will walk away with $400,000, And one of you will be deported!”
"...the time Trump invited him to his office in Trump Tower and he actually thought he was talking to Bruce Wayne."
Trump is proof at last that TV violence causes violence, at least in a single person..
Again, that only happens in people who can't differentiate fantasy from reality.
"You don't know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump, you just don't."
And now he has dementia on top of being the stupidest person ever.
And he's probably going to nuke Iran. Due to stupidness and dementia-having.
At which point the entire country -- or at least the vast sane but often uninformed majority -- should literally skin and filet every member of that administration.
Without votes.
Just in time to sit his fat ass in front of the levers of power. Fun.
Putin and Xi are getting what they paid for.
Won't someone just make it all stop?!

There’s nothing special about Trump. No political genius. No savviness.
The ONlY thing that has given him an edge is what the Press is willing to accept from him vs what they won’t accept from his Democratic counterparts.
He may be terrible for the country but he was great for Les Moonves.
They love him, he brings in revenue. Which says we are basically a failed state at this point.

Apple caved. They're renaming the lake. Can someone tell these idiots that EO's DO NOT apply to anyone outside of the "Executive?" for fucks sake.
Lake Rotten Apple
Lake Poison Apple
Lake Fuck You Apple
They’re not idiots, they’re greedy cowards afraid of losing government contracts.
FUCK!!! FUCK YOU TIM APPLE!!!!
His last day was Monday, I believe.
Didn't take long for his successor to show their true colors. It may have been in the works anyway though. Who can I say fuck you to?
John Apple
they need to keep him happy so they can build their data centers. Curious that Trump's sons invested in data centers and now he's all in.
