  • Controlling the Internet this way is brilliant from an authoritarian standpoint. To have a revolution you need motivation and communication. Can't be motivated to change your government if you're not informed and you can't organize in great enough numbers if you can't communicate. Take note America.

  • Just some napkin math, if you make $50k a year and reached the $25k threshold you'd get back about $5k in taxes. Not nothing, but they're also gonna make it harder to get SNAP and Medicaid benefits. If you don't qualify (i.e. jump through every hoop) for the latter that $5k is gone and then some. People are about to get more stingey with tipping too I imagine.

  • While true, you're basically toeing the right-wing line that socialism is bad and we should all look out for ourselves. I don't mind FL getting more emergency assistance than I do being way inland. I only mind that I seem to be paying more into it than Bezos or Musk do.

  • To be somewhat fair, businesses don't need a significant event in order to raise prices. I consider this kind of "open collusion". Nobody is meeting in secret to make these decisions but everyone is looking around the room and nodding at each other.

  • The victim is probably the porn industry in this case. An unsecured laptop on an unsecured network is a porn machine. They had a porn machine in their house the whole time. This makes about as much sense as suing Jack Daniels because your kid got drunk when you went away and didn't lock up your booze.

  • I saw the video and that's some bullshit. He was outside the gate in the parking lot. If I'm protesting on the steps in front of the USDA the security guards don't have the authority to cuff me and drag me inside the facility. At best they would detain me outside until the police arrived. They did what they did because it was the scariest thing they thought they could get away with.
