So there were five godlike beings sent to fight Sauron. Only one of them did his job.

I need to reword it.

You are the big cool powerful god. One of your servants, a minor much less powerful god does bad things to the world. So you send five your other servants just as powerful as the bad one to deal with him.

A lot of time passes. Three of those spend their time chilling. One joins the bad one. The last one turns out too weak. Who solves the problem? Four hobbits.

You really should reconsider your politics after that.

I don't think the original books ever told anything about it.

Yes and no, probably. You will remember important bits and will reconstruct/imagine other things just like you do now. Even with our short lifes not all the things you "remember" actually happened.

If the numbers are true it costed him less than 0.1% of his wealth which is surprising how little it takes. Would you spend 0.1% of your wealth to elect a President and gain a government post that will bring you more wealth? Would you spend 1% of your wealth to become insanely rich? 10%?

In the society where power is measured by wealth ultra rich should not exist. Or better such society should not exist.

Also Musk wasn't even the biggest donor. And Harris was okay with this whole thing, she also received enormous donations. Who was against ultra rich? Bernie Sanders. No wonder he was sacked despite popular support.

Actually, no. The 22 amendment says that a person can't be "elected" as President while the 25 amendment says that the Vice President shall become President in case of resignation. No contradiction here. So while Trump can't be elected anymore he can still become President for unlimited terms.

Can't someone run for President, name Trump his vice, then resign?

What's good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.

It's actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it's not receiving that much funding.

Yeah, it's horrible to realise it's you who are the adult now. But explains why the world is shit.

Maybe they too just wanted to go to your home.
