Isn’t Iron Man being an arms dealer canon? I thought part of his whole thing was the creators seeing how unlikable they could make a superhero that people would still buy comics for. Arms dealers having a particularly bad reputation at the time because of the Vietnam war.

It isn’t about taking from the rich either. It’s about letting THEM take less, so there’s more for everyone else. Slight distinction, but they are the ones taking, not the workers.

That shit is still everywhere where I am. Vote as if he’s a popular as he ever was, because in some areas he sure seems to be.

Save a click: Google found to be a monopoly (obviously),. They will likely appeal the decision (obviously). No detail on whether a penalty that would actually penalize the behavior in any real manner is being considered/enacted, but I think we know.

I don’t think that is generally the intent of ending a sentence with lol. It is sometimes, probably, but most of the time it is for trying to convey a light hearted, friendly attitude - like a polite chuckle in real life. Millennials do it a lot.

I actually am genuinely interested in that fellow’s reasoning behind believing both that his job of managing people is successful, and also that all the people he managed do not like being managed by him.

Anecdotally, I have encountered workplaces containing a manager or employee that was universally disliked, and it was never because they were doing an awesome job. They did appear to think that people disliked them personally but benefited from their results. Often they seem to also believe those results would be unachievable in ways that do not produce the distaste. I am not sure these contradictions are entirely defensible.
