They get a juicy government bailout and they get punished for their stupidity? Weird punishment.
The Fabian society likes to complain about its use but doesn’t propose an alternative. Icouldn’t see (a UK specific) one on wikipedia, Wiktionary or OED either.

Can’t we all just get along?
Are you now a bean fart connoisseur?

I know this post is asking for opinions but it is just so tiring having to have an opinion on everything.
I want to keep some shibboleths to myself thanks.
Its turtles all the way down.
edit: as soon as I posted I remmbered what a train was.
Sorry.
It was a really entertaining moment in history to see grok showing up elon & co despite their clear attempts to make it conform to their world view.
