Don’t stop a damn thing, put a billboard up for every victim.

If he’s using AI scraping, we should set up bots that invent other Trump family members as orangutans. Also label all cat and dog photos as the opposite. All insect pictures labeled as republican or conservative.

I dunno, I can imagine a LOT of corruption.

Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.

Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.

Right wingers only see problems when it happens to them personally. So the only way to get rid of Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself. This is just a tiny string in that rope. I’m hoping he gathers up enough to end up like Mussolini.

If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.

Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

Was the KGB agent Putin by any chance?

Misinformation campaigns are modern warfare. Killing your opponents from the inside is far more cost effective.

Set executive pay to a multiple of median non managerial pay, with bonuses for the median out pacing inflation. With a quarter size bonus for profit increases.

Make it federal law for all publicly traded companies, and also require labor representation on the board of all publicly traded companies.

Just don’t say any of that before an election, because you’ll end up with less media coverage than Vermin Supreme.

It’s two different problems. UBI helps with poverty, and a lot of other social spending. Give everyone enough money for rent and tomorrow the price of rent is higher than what you’re giving them. Housing is supply restricted, increasing the demand only makes it worse. What we need is a serious building spree.

Under current legal interpretation absolutely not. Which is the problem that’s being looked at. It’s not legislation, it’s based on supreme court rulings, that could easily be overruled by congress. It’s going to be a very long debate before that happens sadly. Which is good on the side that setting a new anti-trust standard will absolutely rock the economy, so a snap decision isn’t in anyone’s interest. But at the same time, as we’ve seen from the pandemic inflation, without competition in the market, price gouging is getting out of hand. Market steering and manipulation by individual corporations is also getting out of hand, it just doesn’t generate the same level of public outrage.

The other side of it is that there is starting to be support for actually using the anti-trust laws that are on the books. Right now it’s mostly focused on Google and other tech companies, but there’s a huge problem in US markets with corporate consolidation.

Some of us have actually seen the world. Try it some time.

What makes you think I haven’t been in their position? Most of the guys in there, deserve to be there. The ones on labor detail aren’t just being worked, they’re earning good time, and learning to earn trust.

Good, make them protect the communities they hurt.

You don’t want congress writing exacting laws in a lot of regulatory situations. Think if congress right now was setting interest rates. It wouldn’t get done until long after the economy had imploded. Even if they were listening to the same economists, political problems would create a disaster. The same is true in most cases concerning the EPA and other regulatory agencies. By the time congress would be able to respond to a situation, everyone would have died of whatever the problem was.
