    US treasury secretary begs Europe not to call in debt. Get a load of this guy.

    It’s like the Microsoft CEO saying “find a use for our useless product so we don’t go bankrupt.”

    What is with these out-of-touch billionaires and their delusions of grandeur?

    It’s not the world’s responsibility to make sure you’re never inconvenienced!

      They can’t comprehend that we don’t have any reason to support them.

      It’s like the story of Linus Torvalds meeting with Steve Jobs. They could not comprehend he was not interested in making Apple better.

        They’re so used to telling people what to do and them doing it, it boggles their minds when someone tells them “no.”

        Like, “You’re not paying my salary, fucker. Give me $100k per year plus healthcare and retirement benefits, PTO and sick leave, and then I’ll use your stupid LLMs five days a week. Otherwise, fuck off!”
