When Epstein died I didn’t think much of it. What surprised me was lots of non-conspiracy theory friends were diving head first into the conspiracy. As the years have went by and more info leaked, yeah, there was definitely something big going on. We know Elon Musk lied numerous times about knowing Epstein and Maxwell, only to be proven by others testimony he did in fact know them, stayed at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, probably meet with Maxwell for “kung fu” practice, etc.

I even believe that the whole “pedo guy” incident with Musk was actually a coy attempt to keyword search flood “Elon Musk Pedo” with search results for that nonsense. We’ve seen other famous people do stuff like that to keyword bury topics, I’m sure Musk was aware of the technique. And he won the lawsuit because he was rich enough to fight a freedom of speech claim.

Vance always looks confused and frightened.

The photo is likely from around 2012-2016 IIRC. Around the same time the photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Elon Musk was taken.

Also certain AI say this is two images stitched together.

Nope. Its a real and verified image. Perhaps the AI detector means I’ve supplemented the original photo with additional text in order to make it a meme. That much is true, the original photo doesn’t have text in Impact font floating above and below them.

Remember: there are no good billionaires. You don’t become a billionaire by being nice, fair or anything we associate with being a good person. Even those who inherited billions from their family are often fucked in the head (John du Pont of Foxcatcher fame) as a result of it. Not to mention being born into such a family instantly gives you access to opportunities none of us plebs could ever gain regardless of our merit. Bezos ex-wife is sort of ok since she is adamant about giving away the bulk of her fortune, however, she is still complicit in helping to create the monster that is Amazon, which ironically destroyed the very thing she proclaims to love (literature and book stores.)

Treat them all as if they’re evil slime, the bulk are. That way you may be pleasantly surprised when you come across a “good” one like Scott.

He is an ugly person down to the core.

Amazon, that company Jeff Bezos started?

The Jeff Bezos that was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and that even invited the couple to his private, invitation online, weekend retreat at a private resort he rented out?

That Amazon?

Surprised that a company founded by a chap like Jeff Bezos becomes so shitty and evil?

And it’s worth pointing out that the photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Elon Musk is everywhere but this photo of Bezos and Maxwell is much rarer to see.

Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.

The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.

Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

You were right as well, like most things there were numerous factors at play. Greed is sort of an answer that is too broad, to be fair, but the specifics are complex.

Greed. It’s as simple as that. Greedy corporations, greedy Wall Street bankers and the greedy citizens that permitted the deregulation of business, finance and politics stole our future.

Economist back in the 1950’s were predicting that productivity would increase to a point where we’d all work 3-4 days a week and have a higher standard of living than was available at the time. We got the productivity increases but greed syphoned it off to the CEO’s and Board members instead of the workers.

Cutting military spending that had ballooned during the tail-end of the cold war combined with an economy that thrived as computers and the internet began to really take off at the consumer level (cheaper home… or personal computers PC) and dial-up becoming more mainstream and affordable (AOL signup CD’s with 100 free hours.)

America was moving away from manufacturing to financial services as well which in the short term allowed wall street to make massive profits. Also note that during Clintons presidency there was very limited military action verse winning over allies via various global trading arrangements.

And what lots of people forget is that Clinton was a more moderate democrat. He didn’t really expand social programs all that much, in fact he made welfare more difficult to qualify for as a compromise with GOP legislatures.

So costs were cut, technology was profiting, those budding industries still required human labor which was often domestic, we had cheap goods coming in from other nations and many nations were peacefully joining in on global trade, social services stayed the same and the big baby boom social security drain hadn’t began yet and the administration was willing to work with the GOP on legislation. Not too hard to balance a budget with those circumstances.

Keep in mind that a balanced budget was step one in reducing the deficit, they are not the same thing. However, if the trends had been maintained we’d have been deficit free by 2010 or so and we’d have had social security funded for the foreseeable future.

Where they build strength by chugging Jack Daniels and doing key stands.

Right? No one is going to waste hardcore drugs on kids. Though with the proliferation of THC gummies and candies I wouldn’t be surprised if someone accidentally handed them out. Kids eating special candy has been a common issue in legal states.

If they do it’ll probably be close.

Ew

The theory thus far has been it’s some kind of polka but I’m not totally sure. Not being a professional musician means my examples lack the proper tempo to really be certain. Plus reducing any song down to a music box comb reduces it so much its hard to glean stylistic clues from it.

Yeah it wasn’t AI. It was the head of Google Ads (who got promoted to head of Google Search) that changed the search results so they were less accurate so users would spend more time on the results page and thus look at ads longer.

Meemaw is that you?

You get no context!

This is allegedly a photo from a member of the Bay Area babyfur club back around 2009. We can’t be 100% certain its Elon but in the posters defense we do know Elon has role-played as a child on a dedicated Twitter account and he does act super childish and immature all the time. Very possible he’s into this particular kink.

Funny thing is according to the poster Elon was kicked out for being too annoying.
