    It's hilarious that Musk spent months complaining about the problem of bot accounts on Twitter and now is making business decisions based on the results of Twitter polls that can be completely skewed by bots voting. Business schools are going to be teaching the case of Musk's Twitter takeover for years to come as an example of a worst-case scenario for managing the takeover of a multi-billion dollar company.

    One small correction a no profitable multi billion dollar company and I think that you are right they will be teaching it but not for the reason you think ��

    Working on a new Restaurant we are going to call the lonely can opener!!! Nothing will come out of a can including Condiments. Separate Kitchen for Vegan, Vegetarian, with an area set aside for those with nightshade sensitivities. It will be 18 months or so before we have everything ready to open as we have to have all items tested to be certified and have the correct reporting on the menu.

    thought that I might start teasing the name and getting ideas from those that live those lifestyles Might be of some use.

    Look into Yelp too as it drills down to the zip code.

    And TWITTER use is up.

    Leftists who wrap themselves in the COTUS un order to destroy it must be stopped.

    You cannot say you want to limit protests and religion to 'acceptable' groups, you cannot oppose the second, you cannot claim the fourth protects murderers, you cannot negate the fifth, sixth and tenth and honestly claim to support the COTUS.

    Yes, it wasn't profitable, which is why it was incredibly stupid of him to spend $44 billion to buy it (increasing their annual expenses by over $1 billion with additional debt and cratering their revenues by antagonizing all of their advertisers). His management of Twitter has been a complete cluster$#@!, even if his right-wing fanboys pretend otherwise.

    Not a Businessperson are you. If you saw my post about starting a new restaurant, It is expensive. I have to purchase all new equipment, either remodel or build a new building, get all of the zoning and permits, work with the health department to get everything inspected. Work with MDOT to make sure there are not traffic or rod issues. hire and train a completely new staff. Lots of startup costs.

    Now if I buy a failing restaurant, I can purchase it for 60 or 70 cents on the dollar and all of the leg work is done it is just light remodel, new menu and training the staff to the new way of doing business. Much cheaper.

    Because of the cross-contamination certifications that I am going to have in this new restaurant, purchasing an existing is not an option

    Imagine that.
