So that’s who Mackenzie Scott is. I keep hearing he was giving away money and now I know it is SHE! I think she got 40 Billion in the the divorce, not shabby.
South Africa has plenty of problems of its own. Johannesburg is (again) running out of water. Almost half of the municipal water is lost through leaking infrastructure. Even the rich are having trouble filling their swimming pools (boo-hoo).
Diversity, IMHO, is not racist but I do believe there’s a racist element in reverse discrimination and quotas. Back in ‘02, I applied to a new big company starting up, similar to my previous and folks who knew me thought I was well qualified. Went to the job fair, and at the bottom of the sheet was a tick box, are you native, female, visible minority or handicapped. Long story short, job situation being what it was following my previous plant’s shutdown, I moved away. Not an unfamiliar thing to have to do, I know.
I did make what I consider a really good dark humour joke from that. No bad words but I still have to consider my audience when I give it.
Elon Musk would make a good VP candidate for the RFK, Jr. ticket. Then I’d be able to despise, fear and loathe this candidacy at least twice as much as I presently do.
I thought about more than doubling how much opposition I could muster, but soon realized that my capacity for despising / fearing / loathing is not infinite.

This is the right wings hero a child of apartheid strung out on ketamine using his propaganda spewing website to spew racist hate and ignorance.,

Lemme see if I’ve got this straight:
Elon Musk – Bad
Trevor Noah – Good

It’s funny how money suddenly makes someone more influential.

Some of them, I assume, are good people. We got Charlize Theron, after all.
