Bananarchy

I think it's a fairly simple situation. Twitter is a recorded forum, so they don't have to deal with recordings or reports or any of that . Musk posted something publicly. On the other end, it must not have been difficult to figure out that Musk had no real intent to take the company public. It's a pretty cut and dry case. There's no "well, I didn't say that" defense. The intent was 100% clear.

Why does anyone offer a plea deal? Particularly in civil court, it's to avoid the expense of trial while getting the result they want. But lying to the public and overstating your ability to take your publicly traded company private is fraud and it's unacceptable. Anyway, you're being hypocritical. Replace Musk with the owner of Monsanto. You would be calling for the CEO's head in that situation. Just because you've fallen for Elon Musk's poor man's Steve Jobs act and you buy into poorly built cars with giant batteries, you think Musk should get by.

You laugh at a lot of funerals? Elon Musk committed fraud. People buy his stock and trust him and he openly violated their trust.

I was talking to a lawyer friend. Basically, if the federal government goes after you, you're hosed because their conviction rate is like 90%.

He clearly meant to drive up stock value and make headlines. It's illegal regardless. The Federal Government doesn't prosecute unless it knows it will win and in Civil Court they have to prove less. Elon needs to go

Yeah, I'm no expert, but my lawyer friends note the government is so successful at prosecution because they're extremely selective. They wouldn't prosecute if they knew they didn't have him. You're definitely onto something, but it's worse than that. Elon Musk is distinctly anti-media. Even Steve Jobs, a notoriously difficult CEO, held his company responsible when one of his products got a poor review (the MobileMe story, for example). Elon trashes the media as fake when they criticize the poor build quality and obvious financial troubles of the company. Is it any surprise that people adore a POS like Donald Trump when a different subset of liberals adore Elon Musk?

Well there are a ton of things that are beyond you. Too many to mention when it comes to baseball.

They need to gag Maddon and they need to move on from Russell. That scumbag doesn't belong in the game.

I doubt it has changed much. For one thing, M&H have no real competitors for sports in that slot. ESPN punts to national in that slot and Mully and Hanley always beat Mike & Mike. Now, with Golic & Wingo, Mully and Haugh still don't really have any competition (in fact, the competition has gotten worse)

Five posts? Slow day on the North Side forums?

How would that make this rebuild any different?

Bought tickets to Kurt Vile and the Violators. I saw him with Courtney Barnett once but I'm excited to see him do his own stuff.

Unless a new owner comes in with an insane amount of money, I don't see how anything would be any different right now.

Reinforces my belief that Jimmy wasn't worth it and Thibs is a complete sociopath incapable of creating a comfortable work environment.

Not at this point, though. Not when they're all so young

When you say "correcting this", do you mean setting the OOZ strikes to zero?

Overblown.

Uh...it's part of the game. Also, it's a long season.

Get stoked. The credit Rodgers is getting is partially a reflection of how much respect this Bears team is getting.

Take it easy, man. It's just a game. Once you stop enjoying it, stop watching for a while. We'll all be nerding the hell out over here for a while.

I can't draw any conclusions like that yet. Yesterday was his first game under a real offensive mind.

I'm not sure what anyone expected, but for a guy with little experience in his first game running a real NFL offense, it's hard for me to complain about Trubisky. And don't look now, but he was better than Watson was yesterday. Watson looked like a rookie again.

Sucks but it's only one game. And I didn't have the Bears winning in Lambeau.

I’m going to take one for the team but it’s worth it. You’re an imbecile see yall in a month everyone

Or the lack thereof is it too late to fire Greg Walker?
