If anything it shows for profit monetization eventually destroys every information stream. In NYT case they hired Bari Weiss who has gone on to turn news companies into right wing propaganda outlets. They’ve been a shitshow for a long time.

Its past time that every county in the US had like a gov funded local nonprofit newspaper to report on local events. Or even funnier make it funded by congressional district so gerrymandered areas get some weird ass shit.

He’s going to truth social that and add an “investor early notice subscription” for 100k a year.

The threat of being made to recall them is one of the safeguards here the second the company is told by their lawyers they will lose a “voluntary recall” becomes inevitable. These companies will only get more… entrepeneurial about food safety the more the threats are taken away and the big one was always food testing.

That would be a lot of projection on his part, if true.

I think for dril the post was in turn a funny theory on what happened to people sent to the twilight zone’s cornfield.

If you take them at their word… yes.

They’ll have to fire the Linux CEO over this just like they fired the Antifa CEO

Maybe, but the increase in surveillance, emergency service obstruction, and the weird traffic problems start to dominate the discussion on cost benefits.

Imo, remote car services like waymo wanted to expand they would target more car oriented cities: mexico city, vancouver BC, etc.

Idk if you realize how many less car accidents europeans have per capita

Hopefully nobody unplugs the ethernet cable to the school router

I actually didn’t mention removing the senate, so if you want my opinion on the senate it’s this: the senate and house should be rolled into a single electoral body that would essentially have a shape similar to the electoral college.

Though I think expanding the size of both the house and senate would increase the number of people it had to bribe to block laws so I would also be in favor of expanding the senate to 5 per state and making those elections proportional and ending the idea of celebrity senators.

It would be better to eliminate the senate but realistically I think the only way to do that would be to implement a national initiative process first that bypasses state legislatures from voting on constitutional amendments because there is no world where small state legislatures in enough small states would give up federal power.

Citizens united is the largest of a series of court cases that skewed power to the ultra wealthy. The mention of that is a starting point but beyond that it would allow more strict regulation of how corporations can spend their money.

Realistically there’s over a dozen supreme court cases that need to be overturned and if you want an idea what those are at this point I highly recommend a podcast like 5-4

An autistic person simply could not do this. Its not in our nature to ride trump’s dick so hard that we could deny very obvious things.

For there to be a real path out of this they need to be willing to strike a stake into the heart of the republican vampire party:

• Fully reform the supreme court with sane people who will overturn citizens united.

(Personally I would add every goddamn american citizen to the supreme court because its a lifetime appointment and the public would be way better the corrupt nutjobs currently running the asylum)

Additionally like 3 of the following:

• Commit to passing some real ass electoral reforms to enforce the 14th ammendment.
• Commit to reforming the way congressional districts are drawn or eliminate them entirely with proportional voting mandates
• Bring DC and Puerto Rico in as states. Threaten to offer cuba statehood and reparations if republicans invade it based on some kind of generational grudge held by rich casino owner’s grandparents.
• ensure the electoral college is handled on a proportional basis, if not eliminated entirely.

And then looking to the future:

• address the corruption stemming from the billionaire classes
• use billionaire money to directly pay reparations to people placed in camps by trump admin
• prosecute ice agents involved in murders.
• ensure all tech companies remotely linked to social media, search, surveillance or data collection are run as non profit utilities under laws similar to those we require for power companies.

Or just somebody having a medical crisis in a car. I know one person who presumably fainted while driving and woke up in a hospital with severe injuries from hitting a traffic light pole.

Fediverse is social media for nerds.

This is a reminder that US scientists during the cold war thought fish were russian subs because they didn’t have biologists on staff

Judging by the way they’ve treated big companies in the past the NSA is staffed by a bunch of people who use backroom deals with US tech companies to collect their data mostly.

I actually think a large plurality of them spend most their time tracking/stalking their wives and like people they argued with the day before.

Also kids can use bike lanes so it literally increases the range at which kids can safely travel.

You’re not trapped here with me, I’m trapped here with you.
