Yeah. It’s gonna be a shit show.

Nobody will step up, because manufacturing electronics like this is incredibly expensive, and any new president in 2028 could instantly drop Trump’s dumb ass tariffs.

So you’d be going into an expensive, already risky business, with an even bigger risk that one day the competition suddenly drops their prices by ~40% due to a drop in tariffs. Nobody’s gonna take that risk.

And even if somebody successfully did take on that risk, they’d charge just under the price of the electronics that have the tariffs baked into the price, so congrats, no matter what we’d esentially be paying a ~40% markup on electronics, and that’s before accounting for all the businesses that raise prices even further than the tariffs to account for the drop in demand, and supply chain halt.

Probably because the boy scouts no longer fits their narrative of “women bad”.

It wouldn’t be this close if Harris just came out against the genocide in Gaza

It’d be worse. Do you have any idea how much damage AIPAC would do? The majority of americans are siding with Israel. She’d get called a terrorist simp before she even finished her speech. It would be an unmitigated shit show.

I wish the american public was wiser, and recognizing how evil Israel is. But that’s not the world we live in.

The bounty itself reads that any person besides local and state government officials may sue a trans person using the restroom that aligns with their gender, with payments including “injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant from violating the provisions of this ordinance; nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury or harm from the defendant’s conduct; statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance; and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.”

As with the abortion bans, the “”“criminal”“” themselves has to pay.

Yes and no.

As with most things related to the U.S. government, it is complicated, bullshit, and hypocritical.

Because the U.S. is a failed democracy. It labels places like Puerto Rico as a territory.

Has anybody else noticed the flood of comments saying “Nice try diddy”, or some variation of it on political posts on insta? It’s a sad and concerning sight, even accounting for much of it being bots, and it being a terrible place to begin with.

If we could do this on a x1000 scale that’d be great. That, and unfucking zoning law, banning foreign/corporate ownership of residential buildings, putting a hard cap on how many housing units an individual can own, that’d be great to.

Sad that she’ll being staying here, happy that at least in this instance we can’t export our crazies.

Probably not for a few decades at least. It’s only when today’s college aged people take power that it’ll get labeled as such. And even then, it’s not a guarantee.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It’s not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn’t outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of “useless” desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn’t mind replacing my dying media server.

we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

So we’re sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

It’s not a genocide.

Why not?

The sneaky thing about RCV that the second link points out is the the fact that RCV doesn’t actually eliminate the spoiler effect. A way to think about is that RCV is idential to FPTP, just done over several instant rounds. So it has some of the same issues, just lessened.

Raising the minimum wage will cause inflation

No it doesn’t

I’m not saying that the democratic party is good on this front. I’m saying that the republican party, the ruling party of Florida is built on hate, and it’s biting them in the ass.

All the campaigns will spend time in NY, California, Texas, and nearby states.

As opposed to spending all their time in cities in swing states like they currently do? The EC is an abysmal failure at preventing candidates from ignoring huge swaths of the country. Fuck the EC. What is even dumber about the EC, is that basically every other office in the US counts all votes equally, and yet this isn’t a problem at the state/local level.

One person, one vote. We are all born equal, all votes should be equal. Nobody is more deserving of a voice than any other.

Coroprations will own the midwest while farms exist, and care not about voting because their lobbying is paying the ad spend on the coasts.

That’s already the case.
