I’ll do something…next time

this fucking bill includes a 100$ fee (that will increase matched to inflation) to declare asylum at the border. The government IS the cartel.

Now they have the funding for the Holocaust 2: El Holocausto (seriously its not funny tho and now is the time to prepare for a fully funded police state)

The ethical thing would be to do a horrible a job and take OUR money. It's OUR money.

I think you may be underestimating just how many engineering folks have zero morals and find it 'fun' to build bombs and missiles and sensors. They don't require ethics courses for a reason

I just subscribed to this Wikipedia instance and in the last 24 hours I see some pages posted are: revolution, assassination, guérilla warfare, and tyrannicide. <3

These nazi idiots are destroying US science, there is no upside. Reasonable people COULD have setup a controlled transition to some sort of public peer review and publishing system, but instead they are going to not do any of that and now RFK can continue to just post their garbage ChatGPT written fake reports on hhs sites directly.

switch to linux mint and all these issues poof away

there are very rich and powerful people who spend all of their 'working' time actively fighting against those things. They (clearly) would sooner support the construction of the fourth reich in america than give up profit streams like energy/housing/automotive.

damn homie are you the heritage foundation

How does one get into this? (I would like to do this)

Saw some video clip from "ice" getting beat tf up in a Haitian community. No guns on the civ side, but they were charging and tackling " ice" and not letting any of their people get kidnapped. love to see it.

It’s true

having third-party publishers that are specifically not affiliated with any org that produces research was supposed to prevent biases in who and what gets published and provide a kind of standardized system for determining the quality of a paper / peer-review process /etc and allow for comparison across the whole scientific community. It has since been corrupted for profit takers. I am liking the idea of integrating into the public library system though..couldn't be a university library though because again, biases.

I heard that recently and thought to myself 'yea I don't have a fucking boat' and realized that is the true meaning of this phrase. People who own boats already are gonna do great. People who don't will drown.

I'm working through my own thoughts on this so please bear down with me here: If we replace the term 'billionaire' and just say 'rich' (since the 'billion' amount is incidental to the times), and replace 'money' with 'access to resources' (which is what money represents), then I would contend that the rich have access to more resources precisely because the poor have little to no access to resources. If the poor were to have access to more resources, it would then be because the rich have less access than they did prior. So I guess what I'm getting at is this: It is intolerable that they are rich, regardless of what they do with the power and access that comes with extreme wealth, because that wealth is directly the same wealth(and thus access to resources) that the poor do not have. [I'm not sure how I myself would even answer 'what level of inequality am I okay with' but I'm thinking it through]

The pollution comes from millions of cars, an industry forced on the people through decades of lobbying and bribery to eliminate the possibility of free public transportation, so that they could become richer. The pollution comes from products for clothing that are made cheaply as possible - at the cost of the environment - and extreme amounts of ad campaigns that purposefully change contemporary fashion ideals in order to keep fast turnaround on product and maximize profit so that they can become richer. Agriculture is corrupted by the rich so that it gets government subsidies in addition to maximizing profits by basing crop choice on profitability instead of sustainability, disregarding native species and planting unfathomably large fields of monocultures, squeezing the farmers themselves and funneling all the money to agri-business execs, i.e. they can become richer. Then they run ad campaigns saying 'everyone needs to do their part to save the environment!' which is clearly bullshit when the system itself is made to maximize profit, and not to maximize caring for the earth. Polluting the earth is profitable, and the profits flow ever upward.

yea you're watching that now

So what level of wealth inequality are you okay with?
