This is the thought that I’ve been trying to articulate. Those that are decent people aren’t good because they are Americans but in spite of being American.

I think this country has just shown who it really is. One could say we were conned in 2016 but now everyone knows who he is and still voted for him. This is who we are apparently.

It got 57% of the vote…so 57% people are decidedly pro choice but still voted against Harris for an anti choice candidate.

I should have called in sick today or something. I am not getting anything done and keep checking my phone like an addict.

When you volunteer with a campaign, you don’t get the phone numbers and don’t use your actually cell phone. You use a dialer program where the campaign dials and connects you via your computer. So you click a button that says you are ready to do a call, the program then uses their phone system to dial someone in their system and it connects the call to you via your computer. The phone numbers come from wherever campaigns get their lists from.

I mean the other option would have been to keep these staff and leverage them to drive innovative solutions with your product or possibly close open feature requests and bug submissions. I mean, these 500 people could have worked towards new initiatives to grow the business as they are keenly aware of the drop box business already and would be able to execute quickly on new initiatives. There are so many interesting places that drop box could expand into and they are instead choosing to layoff staff that could get them there.

For the first time in my life I phone banked for Harris/Walz starting last month. I was expecting to be yelled at by Trumpers but that wasn’t the case. In case anyone is nervous about making the calls, you dont call Trump supporters, you call Dems and Independents to remind them it’s time to vote and how they can get information on voting. I haven’t had any nasty calls yet.

I can’t believe that as a guy, my only hope for sanity is to rely on far more women voting.

I keep thinking the same thing. When it was all happening, I kept thinking that maybe the frontline troops were green and just in shambles but surely they had real troops in the ranks that would step up. It turns out they had like one group of real troops and that was it.

The valuation of Tesla is insanely overpriced for what it is and I think he knows it. The Tesla hype machine needs to be fed to keep it from crashing and the vast majority of his money is that stock. He needs to gain more power to secure his status. It’s a bit of a house of cards. He won’t ever not be wealthy but his status as the wealthiest is tenuous as soon as people figure out he’s full of shit.
