Twitter needs an employee turnover

 Red States:

...

Project Veritas leaked Musk’s remarks to the employees where he said it was essential to have “free speech,” it was “important to represent multiple opinions & not driving a narrative,” and that there needed to be transparency if people were to trust the platform. Musk concurred, showing that yes, he is likely to inhibit the driving of the “narrative.”

But that didn’t stop the employees who were hearing his remarks from throwing a tantrum on their private Slack channel. Reuters reported that they were posting memes and complaining about Musk. Project Veritas then leaked the complaints. What’s funny about the comments is that they’re so concerned about the comments and disinformation that people might make on Twitter, yet the stuff they were posting was such a font of misinformation and liberal bias, that it was easy to see why Twitter has been so left-wing up to this point.

How out there were they? They were upset that Elon voted for Mayra Flores with some calling her a QAnon supporter and one even saying Musk was a supporter. There is no evidence at all to support that, just a leftist smear on Twitter. They also attacked Elon’s claim he was a moderate. Yes, he’s not a “moderate” in their eyes — moderate for them probably means someone much further left. If he’s leaning toward DeSantis, he’s also not a moderate in the way we conservatives might use that term as something of a pejorative. The employees of course demonized his leaning toward DeSantis. One accused him of “homophobia and transphobia” and another called DeSantis’ bill the “Don’t Say Gay bill” and said he was the worst person. They asked if he was going to continue to combat misinformation when he took over. Maybe they need to check their misinformation because they surely were spewing a lot of it.

They also personally attacked Musk saying things like he said “you know” too much on the call, one mocked that he was called a genius, and one compared what he was saying to the “very fine people” lie (the lie about what Trump supposedly said about Charlottesville Neo-Nazis). Some also had a meltdown when Elon allegedly said: “all lives mattered.”

Probably the employee who won the award for stepping in it was this guy.

But a reckoning may be coming and this was the thing about which the employees were most concerned.

“There needs to be some rationalization of headcount and expenses. Right now, the costs exceed the revenue. Anyone who’s a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about,” said Mr. Musk. But they’re going to be cutting people.

...

If it were my company, I think a lot of the current Twitter employees should have to go.  They have demonstrated what is wrong with the current staff.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
