now Temu is competing with Amazon
Eh... as someone that's seen what shipped to a small(ish) town. Temu is at best 3-5% of Amazon BEST case. Not promoting Amazon, but being in a rural area people speak with their shipping and provider choices. Easier not to drive.
Temu would need a truck/shipping network to compete. They use the post office. And the products are generally pure trash. Amazon doesn't do a good job with name brand shit, but you can get legit name brand stuff generally. Temu has a long way to go. It's poor people products.
Meanwhile, as Trump was sweeping the Super Tuesday field and effectively cementing the Republican nomination, Reuters reported that “Trump meets with Elon Musk and Republican donors in Florida.” Corporate media painted the meeting as a desperate move by Trump to raise cash, which was made-up nonsense and liberal hopium. Beyond that, the story has intrigued many.
Entrepreneurial billionaire Elon Musk was a lifelong California democrat. Then he and his green companies got mugged by pandemic overreach. Now he’s a Texan, and if you follow his Twitter posts, he sounds as conservative as anyone. Elon recently bought Twitter, the only possible way for Trump to counter the government-controlled corporate media and make a legible electoral case to independents and nonpartisan democrats.
Not to mention that, without Twitter, it is likely that 2024’s disclosures would be much more muted.
That Trump and Musk are now openly meeting is fascinating.
Like any other virus they got milder and milder with every mutation. As predicted by many.
Is Elon protecting the CIA?
Is Elon protecting the CIA?
Sad, Elon says great stuff at times. But this makes him look like part of the machine.
I attended a semi-secret event late last night at an undisclosed location in Nashville. The speaker was Georgetown University Law Professor and frequent legal commentator Jonathon Turley. Turley said, point blank, that Elon Musk has done more to save free speech than possibly any other individual who isn’t a Supreme Court Justice. The professor was referring, of course, to Musk’s purchase of Twitter and subsequent Twitter files disclosures.
Much could be said about all this, and we must acknowledge that plenty of folks remain wary of being brain-chipped. But I would just offer one point, a point that corporate media always studiously avoids in its overwrought reporting about the tech entrepreneur: Musk was a lifelong democrat until California officials shut down his car plant as non-essential during the pandemic.
Here it is, behold, the beginning of the Musk Revolution, the genesis of his political awakening, an astoundingly stupid and catastrophically cretinous communication that was recorded in real-time on social media between witless “proud latina” and Assemblywoman (former) Lorena Gonzalez and Elon Musk, long before the notion of buying Twitter ever graced the billionaire’s hyperactive grey matter:
Now, one massively significant tweet later, lifelong Democrat Musk is deploying his intellect and resources to help Republicans. Here come the chickens! Back to their roosts. I told them, over and over, they would live to regret their high-handed pandemic decrees. But like the deaf adder of old, no matter how loudly I piped, they wouldn’t listen.
