Hedge fund gobbled for raping capital.

Forced sale by Darden by activist (hedge) investors.

New hedge fund owned RL company immediately sells all its property (land & buildings) to separate property company owned by hedge funds.

Big dividends for hedge funds! Billions sucked out of company into shareholder pockets.

New RL then leases all properties, incurring higher costs (now paying rent!)

Pandemic.

5 year leases all up! Property company raises rent!

RL can’t afford higher rent on all locations, no longer has capital to borrow against (all sold 5 years ago), and goes bankrupt.

MBAs are destroying the world.

Saltbox.

Ansible-configured Ubuntu-based server rollout, with tag-based installation already available for the apps you listed.

Great docs & support Discord; simple yml configs for quick setup changes.

Single command updating entire server, Portainer for Docker management, rclone for NAS fusemount (cloudplow for syncing), & lots of additional software available to add to your setup.

Highly recommend.

The Florida thing is now ignoring them, after they ask and are told.

See: all the felons prevented from voting after approved.

“Run” is the cause of the confusion.

It can stream (locally, or remotely via VPN) from either console (Xbox or PS).

It can stream cloud-based games from either ecosystem, via Game Pass or PS Plus.

It can run Xbox PC games in Windows.

HOW WAS THIS NOT ALREADY THE CASE?

Judge Jones was already assigned as a court-mandated financial monitor for the trial and the next three years.

This financial monitor up until today WAS NOT included in communication or documentation, of the company she financially monitors due to their previous history of financial misrepresentations when obtaining financing, as it attempts to obtain financing?!

America is stupid. Honestly.

Because the CCP prefers to indoctrinate their population themselves, and puts road blocks to prevent foreign companies from doing so.

America doesn’t, or at least hasn’t, until now.

And American leadership isn’t against foreign governments indoctrinating US citizens via social media. They are against not being able to PROFIT from it.

TikTok is private, controlled by the CCP, and closed sourced.

Trump toadie in this article isn’t trying to shut down the indoctrination. He wants to buy and use it, take the code out and use it everywhere as well as to sell it to the highest bidders, which will likely be more autocrats.

I neither care nor want Facebook et al trying to reshape Chinese minds, though it has no relevance to this point anyway.

And pointing out that the Chinese don’t allow things America does is not the win you think it is here, (ra ra Team America f*ck yeah and what not). If you like how the Chinese do it, go there and enjoy. It’s your life.

The powerful claim that Tiktok supposedly needs to be divested or banned due to both it’s CCP control and it’s effective algorithmic ability to sway US minds.

This seems more like jealousy than security related, as is exampled by the disinterest in actual digital privacy legislation for social media, which would hurt America’s rich. Or alternatively just forcing TikTok to put a big warning not to trust content due to CCP ownership, instead of divest or ban.

They also seem to ignore the fact that US minds (and most everywhere else) seem to be so easy to currently manipulate, and have no interest in improving education to teach how to reduce potential manipulation.

So, after lobbying the government to force a sale of something that can manipulate US voter minds, a former Trump official and stooge wants to buy [edit: at a forced fire sale too] this algorithm that can manipulate US minds.

The divesting push and this purchase push are obviously part of the same effort.

US politicians don’t want the Chinese to control you; but US politicians and businesspeople very much DO want to use this Chinese tech on you for their own purposes. Otherwise, divest would not be an option.
