Have you hurt his feelings telling him he is wrong again?

Who knows... He most likely has me on ignore, but I refuse to let his nonsense "information" go unchecked... At least others will know the truth...

Guess he will not tell the world why he does not own an EV or say what he actually does drive.

I don't get ads from anyone on google search, UNLESS I click the "shopping" category. When I do that, it's because I'm actively seeking ads.

If I type in "florida long-neck turtle" I don't get ads for TMNT toys. I get links to Wikipedia, various agriculture and animal websites, some links to pest control websites, and an option to see thousands of images of florida long-neck turtles.


Don’t matter they still have your information. Just because you don’t get it don’t mean anything.

That's ridiculous. The number of active users is WAY up since Musk took over, and he is making it more profitable in spite of left leaning activists attempting to scare advertisers. I agree the new name is not what I would have chosen, but Musk is smarter than me, so I'm sure it was well thought out. He has no interest in selling AFAIK, and thankfully, it is one of the few places left online where free speech is still respected. Kudos to Elon.

Can you please provide a source for this fantasy?

As I hear it, the X (marks the spot) users are way up because there are NO user standards or ANY STANDARDS so X is a backward-leaning institution that acts like the wild WEST. lots of fights and barroom brawls, but little sophistication.

Since I liked the politeness of the "please". I would call the rich the upper 10% of wealthy people. 1 % would be the super-rich like Musk and Jeff Bezos.
.....The 1st part about taxes........After WW2 the top tax bracket paid something like 70 or 80 % of their income. The rich had ways of getting around that so that the average person in the top bracket probably paid about 40%. And what happened in 2000 and 2010 was that on both occasions the top income bracket got their % dropped down. That has been widely reported on - just Google it.

Not sure what [/s] means. Must be a Russian code. But, I could reiterate that since CNN is a straight-up, middle-of-the-road, normal TV channel that goes out of its way to present BOTH slightly left-of-center and slightly right-of-center viewpoints on each issue, anyone that has a problem with CNN must be either FAR right or Far left

CNN is not slightly anything, very far left and often called with truth the Communist news network.
