I mean, I felt the same urge but at the end of the day we shouldn’t be pro-death. They might paint us that way, but doesn’t mean we should cheer the death of rural communities, lol

I saw. News is still more fixated on the Medicaid cuts and rural hospital closures, rather than the ICE part. The rich people getting tax cuts extended was obviously going to happen either way, though.

I mean, I do like that new electronics smell. Not sure if it pairs well with the mountain dew reduction, though.

Not even just that, my stomach would make that weird gurgle sound and I’d be done for.

Apparently those flex requests aren’t about saving the environment; it mostly has something to do with power grids needing to operate at a certain range at all times and spikes in demand fucks with that. That is to say, if they increase the energy produced, they actually have other problems at times of reduced demand, like at night or winter time. I’m paraphrasing from a pretty brief thing I heard over the radio, though, so I’m sure it’s more complicated.

They still cut corners and cause wild fires because they don’t update their tech and prefer to have things fail, though. Plenty of reasons to hate your private utility companies, lol

I have a feeling the bill hits Tesla or something. Maybe not directly, but with all the anti-environment shit in it that probably includes his shitty EVs.

Given they also said the farms barely break even mostly means produce doesn’t pay well enough to afford a good deal to workers, either. These things should cost quite a bit more but don’t thanks to immigrant exploitation.

Not sure what the good deal solution would be, though. Still, people attacking undocumented folk definitely live in a racist fantasy world.

Mike Lee is a notoriously despicable person even by GOP standards and the bill doesn’t have any legs. Like, just a week ago he said terrible things about the Minnasotan politicians who were shot dead in their homes, and he’s also the one who was pushing to sell off public lands (which he was bullied out of; also seems to be in the pocket of the Mormon cult).

The US stance on NATO is complicated under the current US regime but I doubt it’ll be by this assholes bill.

Does anyone actually think it’s pro-capitalism? Though the social psych equivalent to this is just the concept of the harvesting dilemma and the main lesson is generally pro government regulation (regardless of economics). Social dilemmas like this apply to any common good everyone benefits from, be it air quality, military defense, public parks, public safety, etc. (when explaining, I use a few right wing examples too, even if I am a bit ACAB myself lol).

Basically, they simply don’t exist without some form of social agreement not to be a shitty greedy asshole. Government being the most obvious way to control that.

The news was talking about the patchwork, and yeah, you’d think it’s a federal issue but the injunctions can only apply where the lawsuits were, hence the 22 states that sued. At least for now.

At least that’s my understanding. It likely can’t stay in this limbo for long, anyway. Will this court be corrupt enough to say it’s constitutional when it’s clearly not? I really hope not.

Iirc, the way it’ll work out is if you’re born in one of the 22 blue states with an order, you get to be a citizen. If you’re born in a red state, though, you’re fucked. It’s a very strange issue to patchwork, though, even stranger than abortion.

You know, as a spoiler I get the sense he’ll just make things that much worse for Adams. Friends in NYC I talked to said the only thing they didn’t particularly like about Zohran was potential Defund the Police stuff. Yet, Adams and Cuomo are both pro-police centrists, so that vote gets split (aka deplorable vote).

You know, it’s like how everyone saw RFK Jr. as a dem spoiler until polls showed he was taking more from Trump (hence him taking a bribe to drop out).

Statistically, no. Not even at the time of your writing; it’s ranked choice and he cross promoted #3 guy who had 10ish %. Man it’s so lopsided Cuomo threw in the towel.

I guess the real nightmare is whatever happens in the general, but even if Cuomo runs it’s likely only going to hurt Adams.

That said, “don’t give me hope…” applies to changes in the DNC nationally, lol.

That’s confusing, given all Republicans voted Nay.

I mean, we are getting news right now from Lemmy, although admittedly it’s link to a source (but most just view the headline).

But yes, getting it from viral videos and influencers, yes, that’s problematic. Plus this is a little more vetted than mother-fuxking Tiktok and Insta

You said statistically, and Latino men in that country weren’t in the majority for Trump. But like I said, if you’re really going full statistics, non-voters tend to be the biggest group (just, we don’t exactly have exit polls for them, lol)

I used to contribute to Quora when I was in grad school, since I was actually learning a lot of the stuff people wondered about. Between lack of mods and their monetization schemes though, can’t do that anymore lol

Reminds me why I stopped going to quora. Do they just not have a way to moderate leading questions? Those people obviously know they’re just posting their BS in the form of a question, jeopardy style.

Subbed in any case. Lol

I wouldn’t assume that given his county, so try not to make it a leopard eating face / victim blaming story without evidence.

Plus if you’re really thinking statistics, he’s likely a non-voter and in CA one could hardly blame him if that was the case (our general election votes literally do not matter).

I like this analogy and generally avoid using GPS (admittedly it’s out of laziness lol). The most insane part to me is I live where everything is on a grid and somehow people are still impressed I can figure out how to get places, even without having been there. GPS brain is real.
