Biden says history is "watching us now" on climate as he makes first visit by sitting U.S. president to Amazon rainforest

Jump

  • Not for nothing, but waiting until the waning days and weeks of your presidency to take a trip to the Amazon and say this feels a little ... lackluster.

    And exactly the kind of thing people are grilling the Democrats for after the election. Biden should have been saying this in his first year, not the 11th hour.

    • ‘We all have our eyes wide open’: Trump critics brace for dark time of retribution

  • As somebody who tends to be a 'glass half full' kind of guy, I really do hope that Trump goes too far and does something like the above causing people to snap out of whatever trance led them to follow him in the first place.

    • Trump sues for billions from media he says is biased against him

  • Aside from democracy and society as a whole, the biggest loser in this last campaign was traditional media. I don't think any outlets came out ahead and confidence for many in publications like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC, and others is at rock bottom.

    • The Enshitification of CVS

  • They're just also just borderline disgusting now. All of the ones around me have the same shitty old grey carpet. They aren't clean. Most of the aisles look like warzones. What little staff is there have that 'please help me' deer in the headlights look.

    And don't get me started on having to wait an extra 5 minutes to leave because the 75-year-old grandma has absolutely no idea how to use the self checkout.

    • Trump Draft Executive Order Would Create Board to Purge Generals | Panel could upend military review process and raise concerns about politicization of military

  • Non-voters? 100 percent.

    Third party voters? I don't think anybody who votes for a third party ever had any intention of voting for one of the big party candidates.

    It's almost like the reasoning music industry execs used back in the Napster days. "Oh we've lost a bagillion dollars because people downloaded those songs instead of buying the album" when most of those folks doing the downloading never had any intention (or ability) to buy the song.

    • The Enshitification of CVS

    Jump

  • Great video by the More Perfect Union folks about how CVS is cutting corners and putting customers at risk, all in the name of the almighty buck.

    They also did a video a few weeks back about CVS employees needing to strike to get health insurance ... despite the company owning Aetna.
