Pickett's Charge was infantry, that's why it was so awful.

Zuckerberg didn't get into a deal or arraignment with Trump. The article, which is MSN quoting a WSJ article, only says that he was hoping that the change in administration would mean Trump was willing to intervene. It's just standard lobbying of politicians, except Zuckerberg was smart and targeted the thing that matters with Trump since traditional lobbying has no effect with him.Dekim wrote:Why the hell are people STILL thinking getting into a deal/arraignment with Trump won't end up with them being stiffed/holding the bag?https://www.resetera.com/threads/delusional-zuckerberg-shot-down-after-trump-failed-to-come-to-his-rescue.1167159/
What is it with Trump that makes rich and business-minded people lose all common sense and pattern recognition?
If we take seriously what the article says, what everyone is saying in that thread and the inherent logic of it, then Zuckerberg had literally nothing to offer Trump. So why would that lead you to conclude that there was a deal and that he got stiffed on it? It again sounds like the smart lone play they could make since the alternative was a Meta-hostile Trump appointing more social media hostile FTC commissioners angling to take out Trump's enemies for him. Avoiding that is easily worth the small price they paid and would be the object of this "deal" not hoping Trump takes a personal interest for a guy he thinks stole an election from him.
