the stock market in general seems to have not absorbed the info that were in the early stages of the worst economic crisis ever

tbf neither has pretty much anyone else. even before the pandemic we'd reached a crisis of capital where too many goods were chasing too few dollars, searching the globe for investment opportunities and just inventing them from whole cloth if necessary, and now demand has dropped off a cliff. millions of jobs aren't coming back. we're still running on a short-term stimulus package and furlough supports that will all go away really soon, and the same is true for most of the world. it's a zombie economy and i'm not sure it's too dramatic to say it's a zombie society

Well, six. His first one died as a baby, then he had twins and triplets with his first wife. So his baby with Grimes is his seventh kid, though six survive.

the only person i've ever met who was pro Elon was a complete Tory creep who kept winking at me when I was chatting to his wife, and he was completely incredulous that he'd called that diver a pedo and was blithering on about some top-notch ted-talk he did. but "lefties" not a bloody chance, not even the so-called soft left i don't think.

maybe she deleted it. doesn't matter, it's still being shared all around discord. it was raw, emotional, and intensely personal.
i'm thinking of calling my next vaporwave project Cis Men in Acute Emotional Crisis. and it's real vaporwave, by which i mean it won't even exist.
look, i know this is a pvmic but it pains me on an ongoing basis to see cis men who are obviously not doing well lash out with anger and hatred and rage, to get into this particular spiral. it deeply saddens me the pattern playing out here, where Elon Musk's Girlfriend who is a brilliant and creative and accomplished woman tries to take care of him because he doesn't fucking know how to take care of himself, because he doesn't know how to hurt without hurting other people, and then when she does, everybody points at her, everybody _blames_ her, it's her fault for having the temerity to love a man.
there are a lot of women who love men, and it is hard, it is really fucking hard for the women i know. men have no idea how fucking hard it is.
elon musk is in emotional crisis, and he is handling it the same way goddamn near every other cis man handles emotional crisis, the way i used to handle emotional crisis before i transitioned and started to learn how to have fucking emotional boundaries - by lashing out like a wounded animal.
― Kate (rushomancy), Saturday, 25 July 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link
as to whether the "left" likes musk, i mean, half the women on trans discord still get really bubbly whenever there's a spacex launch. if you want to say trans women aren't really "lefties", i just don't know how much of a useful judgement that is.
