Crapperman Dance To The Lavatory's Tune.

Freedom just around the corner for you
But with truth so far off, what good will it do?


Thanks to his firing of all the moderators that resulted in many fortuneish companies of the 500 variety finding their paid missives pasted into the feeds of white nationalists and racists, not to mention those paid-for-blue-check shenanigans gone bad, the freedom-loving febrile genius that now owns Twitter has apparently lost billions of dollars in advertising revenue over the past few months.

And how, you may (or may not) be asking yourself, is the genius dealing with this predicament of his own making?

Well...

It would appear that he is forcing his remaining employees pay for their own toilet paper...

...Twitter is said to have stopped paying rent at its Seattle office, leading it to face eviction. Janitorial and security services have been cut, and in some cases employees have resorted to bringing their own toilet paper to the office...


Gosh.

How's that for a simple, if potentially smelly, twist of fate?

Speaking of Jokermen,
there is an excellent podcast about Dylan's post motorcycle crash catalogue by a couple of interesting obsessives that also have a fascination for Lou Reed and John Cale...You can get to it...Here.

Read that article. They fired the janitors???????? The four floors which are left vacant have left over food and such just laying around the article reported. That is a health hazard and poor business planning. The article also reported he fired a whole department, one of those departments, its not so smart to get rid of.

Sometimes I think he may be doing this on purpose, just to tank the company. then its, No, no one spends $44B to do that. Then its well perhaps, Twitter maybe a pain in the ass for some.

Its most likely the guy is out of his league. He doesn't know how to run a company. That sink he brought in on his first day, he ought to have tied it to his feet and jumped in to the ocean. O.K. that isn't the best suggestion, but he has done that in terms of the company. Its sinking fast and may end up no longer existing, He will then have been one of the world's richest people and then one of the worst business people in the world.

$44B could have been used for a lot of other things in the world which would improve the place, but he is perhaps not a deep thinker, just in the moment, who started to believe his own press.
