Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv.
His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

Hegseth: "Telling someone to get in shape or shave or fix their uniform or start busting their ass -- that's not discrimination. That's leadership"

JD Vance: "Think about this. If your 6-year-son comes home one day and says he's a girl, Talafreako says, and I quote, it is abusive -- abusive! -- if you don't let school officials but him on hormones and change his pronouns. Nothing in the Bible supports any of this, of course."

Imagine if you were running a small business with these relative numbers.
Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff
