It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.

He also took billions in government subsidies and ordered the construction of a car tunnel with LED lights and zero safety measures. That one was a success for its intended purposes, however; it prevented the construction of mass transit rail in California.

I think he made that up after the fact once it became abundantly clear how dumb hyperloop was. US states, generally, don't need the help of a billionaire to stay car-brained public transport deniers.

He never wanted improved mass transit in California, so even if he bumblefucked into that outcome, it's still serendipity for him.
