He does care about the law, just in the conservative way.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
I’m going to take all the sacrifices my parents made to help ensure I have a successful life.
I’m going to have no problem getting a great job with, or without education.
I’m going to get into the housing market on a basic salary no problem.
I’m going to bring kids into this world, and make sure they earn their own way.
I’m going to shame them into leaving home as early as possible, make them rent for most of their life and wonder why they don’t buy a house so they can make money on their investments.
Oh, by the way, i’ll make a ton more money on other peoples kids paying my second, third investment properties mortgage off with their rent.
Then i’ll live a glorious retirement, fully aware that my kids retirement is probably not going to happen ever.
I think that is a tough one. As long as we accept the value of a thing is what people are willing to pay for it, the prices will always climb.
For essential products and services, the value should be based only on the effort required to provide or produce it.
The main reason we’re dealing with our current inflation has everything to do with the amount of cash flowing upwards from the working class to the boardroom and shareholders.
The prices are going up on essential items because people can’t afford to not buy gas, or not eat, or not rent. They need those to stay employable, and they slowly sacrificed everything else to keep those. So the price goes up, and people keep buying it, telling the heartless corporations that they can raise the prices more.
Now we have significant portions of the population using short term loans or payment plans to buy their next weeks groceries.
I think the idea is if you’re guaranteed a subsistence pay, then you are free to devote your time to creating something. Art, a business, a community, whatever that makes your life meaningful, rather than devoting 90% of your time working for someone elses profit, travelling to work, resting to be able to work, and eating to continue to work.
You want to talk about bare subsistence, that is what most people are doing now in terms of time as a resource.
I think that’s a fair position.
But the browser is just an app like any other. Apps have notification systems tied to the OSs notification system. Each app independently decides what they think it important to take advantage of that notification system.
The OS should have a notification system that supports mute/deferrals, and other apps, games, media players or whatever else the use wants should use that system for the users benefit.
I feel like it’s the OS’s job to provide the means to mute or defer notifications in certain contexts, and the games jobs to enter that context in full screen.
Boys with no experience trying to lie to their friends by repeating what they heard from other boys with no experience. Going back to the 80s at least it was all over the schoolyard. Maybe it becomes like some sort of automatic response at some point. Even when it stops being funny it still gets repeated.
The problems the US faces don’t die with him.
Unless you use that 6 seconds to work with the ref to rewrite the rules of the game such that passing the ball to a second quarterback resets the time, along with a bunch of other rule changes.
Yeah, of course. But only one one can best.
Peaceful protests are vulnerable to being incited to violence.
And in late stage capitalism, government is only listening to capital holders. Money speaks way louder to capital holders than the inconvenience of a protest.
General strike is way more effective
The problem isn’t the student loans per se, its that the principle has been paid off many times over and somehow moat people own many times more in interest.
Forgiving imaginary debt is not the same as paying off someones bad debt.
I think Steven Miller is pulling a lot of the strings.
Early on in the presidency he was reported as the guy basically first and last to be with trump each day.
But in your scenario, that was exactly where you needed a new cable, even though you had the right one before then.
So if your monitor came with 2 cables and your gpu came with 2 cables, thats 4 cables instead of 3.
That is such a huge waste of material.
When a monitor supports both display port and hdmi port, they need to supply 2 6 foot cables just in case? And what happens when 6ft isn’t enough for a specific situation. You need to then buy an extra one just in case?
Also, when buying replacements, the cables are totally unnecessary.
We have a bad enough problem with E waste. Making it worse for the sake of the tiniest convenience for the average consumer is ridiculous.
I think it has a lot more to do with the urban / rural political divide. And the fact that the cities are where political unrest will begin and take root.
They’re trying to stifle it before it gets bad, or use any violence as an excuse to increase the pressure.
Also, it helps normalize having soldiers in the streets , so citizens put up with it as a new way of living.
It’s to drum up ‘Antifa is a terrorist organization , and anyone we don’t like is a member’ support. And it’s working.
Like every thing else they do, the truth doesn’t matter.
The redactions never travel as fast or far as the original message. They know this.
I don’t know for sure, but I imagine settling out of court, specifically avoids setting a precedent. Which in this case means if they want to run it, they’d not have the precedent to protect them, but also have to choose settling, or paying to fight an overtly partisan court system right up to the supreme court.
They’ve capitulated enough for us to know that was never going to be N option.
No network is going to do more to draw the attention of the administration, than allow late night hosts to make jokes about him, and even that isn’t going to last much longer I expect.
