David Ellison is throwing a tantrum over states trying to block his illegal merger, and – in doing so — making a great case why he shouldn't be allowed to get control of Warner Bros.

Less concerning than his threat to leave California — which is a BS routine Epstein class tactic — is that he's apparently lobbying our leaders to pressure AG Rob Bonta to settle the case. Gov. Gavin Newsom folded, allegedly encouraging the merger. Our congresswoman, Rep. Friedman has also indicated support for a deal that "protect[s] consumers and workers". (I suspect Friedman's lukewarmness on the merger and Ellison's lobbying for the film tax credits she really wants have some overlap).

But the thing is, merger settlement concessions & consent decrees routinely fail once the ink is dry.

The real choice isn’t between a bad merger and a better merger; it’s between blocking an illegal merger or living with its consequences, which now potentially include closing Warner Bros' Burbank operations entirely.

Bottom line: this is a radioactive deal and our leaders need to stand up against it.

Honestly just venting at this point. It's mostly my own fault tbh. I never really worked up the courage to ask a girl out, but I have been asked out twice before, even if it was from women I wasn't interested in.

It also doesn't help that it seems like every time I get close with another woman, some life bs rng happens, that causes the both of us for some reason or another to not be around one another long enough to establish any meaningful connection. That or they just suddenly nope out of my life for one reason or another, that I never really figure out.

Seriously, every time I assume a girl isn't taken, turns out she wasn't, and then gets with someone later, meaning I missed my chance. Every time I assume maybe they are single, whoop dee doo, they're not even remotely single, big dog.

I know the common advice is to just work on myself, and just start out being friends with women I'm interested in, but for one, I feel like I've worked on myself plenty as is, yet I always see guys who do less work on themselves just score other women easily. Although it's probably also due to confidence that I lack, which I admit is another issue of mine.

But the other thing is, that last part sounds like a crock of shit. It's the exact sort of shit I've heard women complain about, talking about how they thought they had trustworthy, safe friends but noooope, turns out they just wanted to get with them the whole time. I don't see how essentially lying to a woman instead of just being upfront with her is a better option.

Idk, I feel like I'm starting to sound like an incel, and I hate how much I sound like one. I don't want to become a fucking miserable chud, but I feel like I'm already halfway there by merit of already being miserable about my current situation. I just typically tend to keep it to myself irl. But at least I'm not at the point where if I so much as see a capable woman in a videogame or movie, I just start seething and pissing on the spot, so there's that at least.

I don't do much venting on Reddit these days, since people in the past just couldn't help themselves from being disrespectful fucks, but I figure, what the hell? I'll just vent to vent, without any expectations. Might ignore comments, might not, not sure yet. All I know is, I had to get this shit off my chest one way or another, so consider the shit officially off my chest. Catch ya on the flip side, possibly.

Ellison Wants to Sell Warner Bros Lot. Our Leaders Need to Step Up

I'm 26, and starting to worry that I'll never get a girlfriend, and may possibly die alone.
