But he is the most recent one that isn't current, which seems to track for a lot of the fan base.

Let's not forget the Golden Handcuffs. Although given what was reported from Twitter, I'm not sure that applies.

While I would generally agree with that statement (and gave you an up vote for it), I feel like Musk twisted that away from any normal business move.

For instance, many customers aren't paying for premium features. Rather, they were extorted into paying, because their professional lives depend on it.

And even after all that, it's not like it's catering to users on any level. No one is saying that Twitter is better now. Well, no one except the Russian bots and the Nazis.

When a business blames its customers for choosing to no longer be its customers, it's a sure sign the business is declining. Depending on the severity, it's often a sign the business is failing.

This applies here, as well as any time you see an article that millennials are killing <business/industry/etc>. It also applies when an entertainer blames their (potential) audience for not enjoying their work. See Jerry Seinfeld, Kid Rock, etc.

No one owes your business any patronage.

Vegetarian can be cheaper, but isn't a guarantee. If you are eating processed foods like single serving meals, the vegetarian options are often more expensive for the same quality.

Cooking yourself, from scratch, would save a lot more money. Plus it actually is cheaper to use veggies.

Looking forward to seeing this on Technology Connections. Seems right up his alley.

But knowing his timeframe of products, it'll probably be 20 years from now...

They are allowed to run, because there's no law stopping them.

As for why they have a chance at winning, I don't think I can answer that without significant bias.

Then why do you need to tolerate it better?

There's something missing in this ask. If you don't handle a food very well, you simply avoid/reduce it. Whether it's caffeine, an allergy, or whatever.

Why do you need to change your body's reaction? Why not just switch to decaf or other drinks?

It does if you have career progression and promotions in mind. Also if you're looking for some new insights to shake things up.

Most people are on multiple platforms. Find them now, while you still can. Save whatever contact info you can for them. You don't know when you'll need it, nor why.

While true, it's a bit more nuanced than that. They can absolutely have requirements in the contract that will put you on site. For instance, they can have you being the one to set up the conference room for the morning meeting. They can also categorically say that their VPN access is only for FTEs.

But as an independent business negotiating a contract, you just haggle these terms away. It's still a good idea to document expectations, including work hours and locations.

Simply having an LLC isn't enough- it's the separation of personal and business that enables protection. Until you have other employees, this is really hard to do/show.

If you're going to go this route, you should probably talk to an attorney anyway.
