The President isn't to blame. I blame the oligarchs and the army of professionals that they use to implement their authoritarian policies.These white collar criminals use their mountains of wealth to shape policy in such a way that allows them to accrue more even resources and avoid legal repercussions for their immoral and often illegal behaviour.White collar criminals and the lax enforcement of them enables is responsible for all of the ills that we see in society today.

The current Supreme Court ?? I really doubt it will say these laws are illegal. They believe in "originalism", that means since the Internet did not exist in 1783, you have no rights to it and can be controlled in any manner the state of site owner sees fit.

None of the amendments but the second do anything in 2026, and exercising that one is now sufficient grounds to be held down and executed on the sidewalk by a group of masked bandits.It's a major problem with no fix for it.

Florida is a democracy. Florida voted for leaders who ignore these problems because of “woke”.Floridians deserve the results.I will grant clemency for anyone who was born there and isn’t wealthy enough to move out.I will grant 10x hate for anyone who moved there for the politics and complains about the results.

>> I'm much less anxious working with very intelligent people, even if their intelligence eclipses mine. They don't have unusual ideas about what I should or should not be able to grasp. They can recognize which of my ideas are intelligent and which of my ideas are half-baked.Funny, because Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize winner for inventing PCR, one of the most important tools in the history of molecular biology, the technique that made modern genetics and COVID testing possible, could not recognize

Debt monetization is not happening. There's been significant expansion of the money supply, which got the US through COVID at a one-off cost of about 10% inflation in one year, which I think was a reasonable cost of covering the crisis (especially compared to the GDP response in less generous countries!)What's happening is a much simpler, more drastic concern: does the US respect its international commitments?

What the fuck?! I did not sign up to live in some third world shithole where I can't get first-world networking equipment. I do not want some piece of shit closed-source proprietary netgear ameritrash. FUCK! Give me back my god damn chinese routers!Chinese citizens have more computing freedom than American citizens at this point. What the fuck happened to the land of the free?

Given everything else going on in America right now I'm not sure I'd trust an American made router more than any other.Is this just another mass surveillance operation?

This is terrible, perhaps the worst thing this administration has done (which is an incredibly high bar.)Because it provides a pathway to full government control of the internet.Content that demonizes the current administration's enemies will become easier to find. Evidence of their crimes will vanish.When they murder someone in the street, fewer people will find out about it, and those that do will be more likely to hear the government's side of the story.Mobile networks are already owned by th

Nerfed to do their job. The corrupt republican Supreme Court judges are very happy to give more power to the executive to collect bribes, however.

So you personally test your produce to ensure it's safe to eat, has no pesticides embedded in it that could harm you, etc.? You do that after every single trip to the grocery store or farmer's market? Every trip? You don't spot check, and assume/hope/trust that the ones you don't test are safe?

Read Copaganda. The footnotes with references is very long and detailed for those inclined to read the sources, it reminds me of the MLA stuff we had to write in high school. There are many references to LAPD and LA county sheriffs with overlapping jurisdiction.

To be fair, Indiana is now a Northern South state. MAGA governor, doing MAGA things to the state run universities, demolition of decency, acquiescence to federal power when it should fall to the state. And the AG is attacking doctors doing legitimate surgeries (abortion) with criminal harassing charges. Brain drain is also significant around West Lafayette, Marion county, and Bloomington due to anti-immigrant activities. And even small towns like Spencer are getting ICE presence.Its becoming a p

In one word:Neoliberalism.(and too much cars, of course)

It's interesting that you frame building bike lanes and reducing car speeds as "punishing drivers", seemingly ignoring that such changes enable micro-mobility users to commute to work safely.

Oh it's quite practical, many cities have done it. It just requires standing up to a bunch of selfish assholes who would rather pave over every bit of available space so they can drive around really fast in their giant SUVs while pedestrians and cyclists scurry about on the broken pavement of the 5% of the street right of way given to them, and get run over when they don't get out of the way of the SUVs fast enough.

He doesn't realize. When stuff they are saying is debunked, they just stop replying and later repeat that same thing in another thread.

I'm sorry, but this comment looks like it's straight out of a podcast comments section of Joe Rogan or Asmongold.> The top issues were illegal immigration, prices, and the fact that the Democrats just couldn't answer the question "what is a woman?" even when being confirmed as supreme court justices.You didn't realize the whole subject of "what is a woman" was pretty much a "minor issue", blown out of proportion by MAGA, social networks, and podcasts?Like, how was that subject more important tha
