Once you realize capitalism is a blight on labor you start to realize how harmful it is. Instead of being rewarded for increased productivity you’re punished with more work.

Lol, I’m not right wing.

Minor correction: the US has no left wing. Just far right and center right.

Elections are every two years in the US. The President is arguably the least important vote you cast.

Learn civics and engage politically at the local level.

Both Trump and Elon have body counts. Trump killed thousands upon thousands. Elon has killed dozens at least. Which has nothing to do with both of them slurping Putin’s talking point alphabet soup down.

The circle of life. I started in notepad and by god that’s how I’ll end.

You know they both are. Why come in here and lie? The LARP isn’t convincing.

Student debt has only been folks who should already have received forgiveness. He’s not doing shit for most borrowers.

He’s blocking ceasefire resolutions at the UN.

He has a conservative Republican for an AG.

I mean, he’s milquetoast at best. Most progressive in decades ain’t shit when they’re all right wing.

They never did in the US. The Senate and EC both block this.

Republicans out number Democrats. It’d be interesting to see if they could get 50+1 in an election year with both Manchin and Sinema eager to tank anything good or decent.

Well, if Nintendo isn’t a competitor to Microsoft then there’s no issue. Right?

We evolved in an environment without heating, plumbing, electricity, and modern medicine. Are you suggesting that we get rid of all that too or just manufactured meat?

“Could be” is journo speak for they don’t want to get sued. That’s why they use wishy-washy milquetoast language for everything.

Anyone still using Twitter is too stupid to understand what’s going on.

The issue is Republicans hate people and liberals want the privilege without sacrificing anything. You can’t fix that.

The person you’re looking for is Joe Lieberman. He took that 60th vote away which kept the filibuster going.

Congratulations!

AI/LLM, etc., will be used to extract further wealth from labor and give it to wealth owners. We see this right now with the Hollywood strikes, we see it with how organizations are laying off staff and leaning into the LLM craze. This will only end poorly for us poors.

Of course, some of those things are already there in non-USA countries. The US just needs to join the rest of the civilized world.

How can that be? The United States is the only civilized country in the world. Everywhere else is a dirty socialist hellhole. /s

Fully remote is the way of the future, in tech anyway. Use the money you saved on not renting office space to fly teams to the same area for a week or so a few times a year, there’s definite value in meeting, working together in person and going out for a beer afterwards

But make it optional and don’t penalize folks for not showing up. The last thing I want to do is meet up with my coworkers and go for drinks especially given the fact that I do not drink alcohol nor enjoy social outings in general.
