It’s Biden’s fault.
It’s Biden’s fault.
Exactly. My wife hasn’t used an actual computer more than a handful of times in the last several years. She does EVERYTHING on her smartphone.
I have never owned a laptop, because my desktop unit is where I do most of my business stuff, and when I’m away from that, my smartphone is good enough.
Of course, the most important thing isn’t that we account for two less computers than a few years ago, but the smartphones that we have replaced laptops with, run Android. So that’s actually a net loss of 4 MS products.
And after all these years, Windows products still make me frustrated and infuriated. You’d think they would have honed it to a perfect product by now, but every few years they completely reconfigure the UI, and make us have to navigate a whole new, buggy system.
The same old “welfare queen” argument again.
I’m not concerned about some young videogamer getting free healthcare. I’m more concerned with the DOGE GOBLIN getting BILLIONS in government contracts to build rockets that blow up spectacularly, wasting a billion dollars with every explosion, just so he can quip “Just a scratch.”
That’s a billion dollar scratch that could have made a huge difference in thousands of lives.
I’m not worried about American citizens getting health care, I’m worried about Foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs getting BILLIONS in government contracts, paid for by taxes on the working class, while calling those same workers/taxpayers “parasites.”
Nobody is a bigger government mooch then MAGA Nazi politicians.
Trickle Down Economics was a huge success for the Aristocrats, and a disaster for the working class. Obviously, they want to keep the system that has worked so well for them, but it is unsustainable, and it is coming to an end. They are facing two choices:
Trickle UP Economics, in which more money is given to the workers, who will then spend it, stimulating the economy. Every time this has been tried (such as during Covid), it was wildly successful. The money eventually makes its way into the hands of the Sociopathic Oligarchs and Transnational Corporations anyway, but at least it greases the cogs of the economy on its journey upwards.
That would be the best way to handle the economy for everybody. The workers have more spending power, and the rich get richer. Everybody’s happy.
OR
Robin Hood Economics, which is “Take from the Rich, and give to the Poor.” This usually follows a brutally violent rebellion in which the wealthy do not prevail. It is usually very uncomfortable for them and their families. The wealthy would rather avoid this one.
Of course, they want to keep on going with the plan that has made them wealthy, but we have to show them that the gravy train has come to an end, and we will not be indulging their hoarding mental illness any longer.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
I don’t mind people being wealthy, if they are just going to indulge their personal needs. The problem becomes when they have enough economic power that they can enter into personal economic negotiations with other nations that may run counter to the needs of their own nation. It would be bad enough if even a single Sociopathic Oligarchs did this, but imagine if there were multiple people doing it.
What the current Sociopathic Oligarchs are doing is bad enough, but they are still managing to operate like human beings, more or less. What will happen if the billionaire class throws off a straight up psychopath who has no problem killing mass numbers of people, or even likes it? It is only a matter of time before one of these people emerges, with enough money to indulge his perversions, and also to buy his way out of any trouble he may get into.
We have to anticipate these inevitabilities, and avoid them preemptively. We have to stop waiting for easily predictable problems to happen, and only THEN start to address them.
Hoarders are drawn to hoard certain things that make sense to them - cats, newspapers, old cars, guitars (my personal issue), etc.
If whatever you are hoarding starts impacting those around you, you are encouraged to get professional help, but if you are a business person, and hoard money, then you are considered successful, and they put you in charge.
If Cats could become legal tender, weird old ladies would take over the world.
Okay, but Cuomo spent triple what Zohran spent, and got his ass kicked.
Tell you what, just distribute all that money to your employees, and the result of the election will be the same as if you blew it all on a loser.
I know a few Venezuelans who are citizens, and they tell me they aren’t worried, but I am. I’ve heard they are review citizenship and green card applications, and looking for discrepancies, and if they find them, they are pulling their citizenships. They don’t even respect birthright citizenship, which is in the Constitution. They aren’t going to respect the citizenship process.
Bottom line, if you were born somewhere else, they want you gone. After that, they’ll be going after actual citizens they don’t like.
We’ll never see a lockdown again. If there’s another pandemic, millions will die, and MAGA won’t care.
Not even loosely organized. The NYC police commissioner (Tom Selleck’s role in Blue Bloods) is an heiress to the Tisch fortune (Loews Corp), including NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Tisch Hospital, and 50% ownership of the NY Giants.
The Sociopathic Oligarchs have a representative on the front line of this prosecution. They are maintaining control of this from the top.
“Good luck with that” was exactly what I said in my head when I read that headline. Talk about toothpaste out of a tube, huh?
And yeah, I don’t care what anyone says, I got reasonable doubt out the wazoo. That video doesn’t identify him, and any other evidence has been handled by some of the most corrupt government forces that have ever existed, so I’m not considering any of that to be valid.
Bottom line, there’s no evidence, I got reasonable doubt, Not Guilty.
And alternatively, if somehow they could pin it on him hard, he was acting in defense of others by killing an active corporate serial killer who was responsible for suffering and deaths of millions, and would be the cause of suffering and death for millions more. He did society a favor, and deserves the Medal of Freedom.
Me, too. It wasn’t my decision.
Me, but that’s because Reddit permabanned me on the post- inauguration bloodbath.
In some ways I like Lemmy a lot better for things like politics. It doesn’t have all the puns, trolls, Russian Propaganda Farmers, bots, novelty accounts, etc., so while they are fewer comments, they tend to be more substantial. I can also mostly say what I think without getting suspended.
On the other hand, I miss some of the personal forums, which are far more active on Reddit. I’d like the guitar forums to be more active, but they barely have any posts. Most have weeks or even months between posts, while Reddits have a constant flow, every minute. I keep saying that I’m going to start posting content as often as possible, but I haven’t yet. Maybe I’ll start this week.
No, resist the draft. Drafts are evil, do ANYTHING to avoid fighting a MAGA War. My son is the perfect draft age, and he is NEVER going to fight for MAGA. If they want it so bad, the MAGAs can sacrifice their own.
If he drops a nuke, he instantly becomes the most dangerous man in history, they only guy willing to use a nuke for normal war purposes (for which there are nearly infinite alternative options), and to flex his ego (which has no limit). Now when he threatens a country, they will have to believe him, because he’s done it before.
With that in mind, I would think nearly every nation with a highly organized covert intelligence service would decide that it’s time to remove that threat from the planet.
Too late, we’ve been at war for a long time.
So how much did this cost?
