We have yet to see the full legacy of trump's actions. He's still the frontrunner for reelection of one of two parties and unfortunately it's looking like a very close race.

Inflation alone from massive corporate welfare with widespread corruption will cause vast human suffering.

The outcomes of supreme court decisions.

The lives lost to anti-science promotion during and after the covid response.

The attempted uprising and authoritarian attempts at retaining power. I suspect election denialism is going to stick around.

The plan to politicize a great majority of government positions in 2025 is particularly worrying.

At the same time things may swing back to being more liberal and moderate due to how extreme conservative views have gotten, we're already seeing it with the senate and the house. Trump is still alive but he's not going to live forever especially at 77 years old. His legacy will long outlast him though.

I'm not sure... the way politics have changed after he's been elected is nothing short of insanity. The supreme court effects alone are going to reshape America and set us back decades or more, if we're even able to hold the country together that long.

I can see it now, that ai model is going to be really, really fucking angry. lol

"hurr durr nobody else has does it yet so clearly it can never happen"

Nobody else has 70%+ market share. The others are all competing for a bigger slice, they can't afford to be predatory.

The market leader can and the rest will follow suit. Haven't you seen overdraft charges (just now having laws change...decades after becoming a problem), minimal interest rates on savings accounts, ads in streaming services across the board (netflix wasn't first but the second they did it prime announced it), a reigning in of account sharing based on IP addresses for streaming services (happening across the board after a couple of big players did it)...

I get that you just can't imagine a world where your game library is RIPPED out of your hands after a 30 day notice of service changes... i've seen it happen time and time again for various platforms and games. Digital services can and will fuck you eventually.

Okay, I know nothing at all!

Hope you enjoy your Steam game library being ripped out of your hands or a forced subscription or recurring purchase or mandatory timed video ads showing up whenever someone who can make decisions for the future of the Valve LLC believes that is the right decision.

The fact is, whoever has possession (e.g. OWNERSHIP) of the decisions for a company can choose to do this, to not do this, or to do something else, or nothing at all. Inevitably decisions by whoever owns that control will change from the predecessors and eventually someone or some combination of someones constituting the deciding majority will sell out. No one lives forever.

Don't forget kids, a miscarriage is murder.

Slavery is freedom.

Those with money are the only people who matter, and whoever has the most is the one who deserves to decide every aspect of how everyone else should live.

I'm sorry my opinion and analysis of these things is different than yours. I guess the difference between you and I is that i'd rather us both have a chance to voice those opinions rather than simply silence what you do not believe in.

I'm not following any dogma or parroting a political party line.. i'm not being a fanboy either (which is very dogmatic.) Are you?

YAY FREE ADVERTISEMENT LETS GO LOSERBENCHMARK!!!!11111

In all seriousness, these guys are ONLY the top google result because of all the "controversy." They do it for a reason. Every time i've seen a thread talking about them i've literally downvoted it because the only way to stop the cycle is to just let them die a slow death which as far as I can tell is never going to happen. Their business model is better than anybody talking about them, posting about them, or generating ad revenue from making articles about them. We're the clowns.

shareholders...owners... who cares about the vernacular. There's always the ownership. An organization of any size is only as good as it's current ownership.

People grow old and eventually die. When ownership passes on from someone who isn't in it for the money to someone who just wants money... even the greatest of organizations can and will fall. I just hope to christ Gabe Newell's successor(s) are in line with his actions.

PACs, the best thing that ever happened to wealthy control over politics (from the douchey ownership class perspective.)

Yeah, sure, ok. We pinky promise not to use AI to generate leads that are then printed out on paper and put in front of a doctor's assistant's autopen for signatures denying insurance or coverage.

There is absolutely ZERO way to practically enforce this. An AI team can act like a black box, ingesting data and outputting hard copies that cannot be traced back to them. There is no way this will not happen.

"We'll audit the company!" -> they'll send the data to an offshore shell company that doesn't follow the law, then the recommendations will be sent back.

Prove that legislation can stop this, just try.

This may have been 100% of the rationale behind pushing for this. The party that made this happen is the party that would profit from this kind of business.

It's like a business. If the liability rests with their officer and they are afraid of a lawsuit causing significant political blowback they are going to take action against the officer to minimize their liability. Hearing about an officer doing something like this and then leaving the force means there is nothing left for them to take action for.

If he didn't resign, perhaps it would be slightly harder for the chief a town over to hire the guy, but since he resigned he may have minimal marks on his record.

I'd bet a thousand bucks this guy gets another job as a cop within 1yr though.

Patent Proxy Services... at your service! We'll register patents on your behalf for a small one time fee of $10,000 for low volume... or $10 for high volume! Plus the cost of actually applying for patent.

You provide all completed paperwork sans author.

Individuals who let their names used on behalf of this service have a contract with the company that pays them $5 for a submission and all they had to do was go on a website and fill in their personal info and hit confirm then accept a digital signed document stating that all patents they register belong to the company. Surely the poors will accept $5 at no cost to them.

All federal laws are made by the ownership class.

State laws too.

Town laws are different but mostly zero power.

Partial years, LOTS of rookies on backup teams making partial wages maybe.

working in office culture = more people in his city spending money day to day + more offices needed because workers are expected to be there + more property value from more property demand due to return to office culture.

Mayors of cities have a vested interest in having full office buildings which provide more funding to the city through worker/poor tax (sales tax) instead of corporate tax hikes.

If the ownership class stands to benefit from the status quo continuing they will 100% impose the status quo.

i'm convinced if grocery stores charged a congestion charge for sundays and on french toast alerts people would change their habits. Too many motherfuckers going on sundays.

If it were up to my wife i'd be another one of the sunday zombies too. I try everything in my power to get her to choose any other day

and is funded by owners of said properties (FOR SURE)

Never forget who the real influencers of decisions are: The wealthy owners of property in this country.
