He could have easily slowly acquired the necessary shares using shell companies not listed in his name.

No he couldn't. The Twitter IPO was 70m shares - around 9%. Musk didn't buy the shares on the open market but bought Morgan Stanley's 73m shares in a single transaction which in and of itself couldn't move the market. The announcement of him doing it is what did that.

I would probably vote Democrat for a 100k loan at 0% too.

Perhaps Zion Don should make that a campaign promise for 2024

fuck me, you ask me and then give me abuse for it!

Anyway, no Data Warehousing is not filing, it is a specialists Database discipline which also requires business process knowledge and programming skills - a good fit for my skillset.

I mentioned the turnover so you know the scale of the work I do, again because you asked.

I have a Bachelors in Supply Chain Management with Logistics Engineering and a Masters in Data Science in the last 10 years. Though I was a mature student in my 40s.

I currently work as a Data Engineer doing Data Warehousing for a export company with about $5m turnover

My University Library spends $millions on journal subs. The incentive is no longer good science.

An done of the most jarring aspects of graduation is losing access - especially now I have the time to read more outside of my speciality.

I don't know what the solution is.

It is an interesting dilemma.

Publishing has monetized sensible gatekeeping.

But I think the real reason is that academics are now an enemy and don't want you to see their actual words.

If you listen, the "leaders" of the left are also rejecting "wokism" - for them it has served its purpose and threatens to turn the gun back on them.

'We should openly embrace liberal, tolerant but commonsensical positions on the 'culture' issues, and emphatically reject the 'wokeism' of a small, though vocal, minority,' said Mr Blair

Also, some of us want to threaten the managerial capitalism of democracy. "Protect democracy" is not a persuasive argument.

She's tried this before too

Remarks at the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) High-Level Meeting on Combating Religious Intolerance

...

We also understand that, for 235 years, freedom of expression has been a universal right at the core of our democracy. So we are focused on promoting interfaith education and collaboration, enforcing antidiscrimination laws, protecting the rights of all people to worship as they choose, and to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.

Funny how that doesn't mention the fuckery in the US rail system where fertilizer and food are being barred from transportation.

Such an act is punishable by up to life in prison here in the UK. Though I don't think it would be deemed "one of the gravest offences" for which a whole life tariff would be available.
