Hey, you can be paying attention and hateful of the rich fucers and corporations that are ruining society no problem

Ohio passed a law this year banning state funds to any municipality that implemented ranked choise voting. Only one or two representatives voted against it. The only bi-partisan bill they passed thos year

They are going to pivot all that processing to the next snale oil scheme. Do you think its a coincidence that rhe AI hype came immediately after crypto crashed?

There is work to be done rebuilding infrastructure to battle climate change. It would be a massive jobs program, but we have reached an era where governments are not allowed to do public works in the public interest, amd since their is no profit to be made in doing the right thing, we must instead all suffer.

Yeah, I only have my gmail accounts for logins to various websites. They will only have LLM generated spam emails to train on from this

She was pretty popular when Tim Kaine Waltz was calling out Republicans forbeing eeird and heinous. But then they reigned that in and decided to focus on how great the economy actually was and started to bring out the most heinous Republicans from 20 years ago for rhe campaign.

It’s from the 90’s

Increasing antisemitism is actually an important tactic for Zionists as resentment and increased hostility to jewish people will make them more likely to move to Israel.

It’s aelf defense since they continue to make decisions that they know will kill people.

Because the EU has always been an austerity driving neoliberal organization dedicated to corporate profits.

The kid was likely 13. He should face consequences, but a 13 year old doesn’t have the mental development to understand the horrific repercussions for something like that. Throwing a 13 year old in juvenile detention for something like this won’t do him any good. Mandatory community service and probation are much more appropriate

We are looking at the mistake of allowing capital to offshore everything in the 70’s and 80’s. China didn’t force those companies to stop maintaining their existing infrastructure and outsource all their manufacturing overseas, they chose it in the interest of lower costs.

See, my first thought would be to crack down on the tech parasites that are ruining out society instead of changing the law to accommodate them. But I’m just a dumb American who lives in a place where corporations are allowed to do whatever they want including killing whistleblowers, but I’m sure that the fascist parties taking power in Europe won’t do that.

There is nothing stopping the EU from going the DeepSeek route and just stealing the finished LLM’s from American companies. But the truth is that the EU shouldn’t want to have all these data centers training generative models. The us is already dedicating 4% of our electricity production to them, with people in states along the Great Lakes and Eastern seaboard seeing massive increases in their electric bills to pay for them (~30% for me in Ohio, ~75% for my brother in Virginia). I can understand if you are a technocratic neoliberal in the EU parliament that is taking bribes from tech firms why you would want this, but for anyone paying attention, rhe promises tech companies are making to burn hundreds billions of euros while gutting privacy, 🔏IP, and consumer protections at the top of the bubble makes no sense.

Maybe schools and social services shouldn’t be paid for by the local property taxes. That’s just a recipe for keeping the poor impoverished and giving all the advantages to the rich. Homes should be for living, not for investing

So tax homes on the value at purchase and adjust for annual inflation (across the board, not housing costs) and not the current market price evey X number of years after purchase.

When they say “standing up to Trump didn’t work” they actually mean that their corporate donors got mad at them and threatened to cut them off

Normal working people Don’t have million dollar mortgages

Republicans are behold to the same corporate interests as the Democrats. The busiest travel week in the country is coming up and airports are already buckling under the shutdown pressure. Now millions have suffered for nothing.

Republicans aren’t going to vote to continue the subsidies next month. And they won’t when the CR expires in the new year. What they needed to do was force the Republicans to extend the subsidies now.

The Democrats are feckless cowards who serve the Republicans everything they want on a silver platter
