  • The NYT wants you to think this instead of how eliminating our safety nets is already devastating and going to make this worse. Basically, they want you to blame the local government, not the federal government. So the YSK should be replaced with "We want you to think" or WWYTT

  • As an example, if you hold the opinion that the government shouldn’t be responsible for mail services, you can’t just cut it without making sure that there is something else well regulated there to pick up the slack. Regulation does not equate to unprofitable.

    That's because they're trying to privatize everything, and I mean everything. For your example, Amazon, Fed Ex (Post office, mail dude hired by trump was CEO of one of the majors) or something similar will take it over. They don't want to replace it. They think all that tax money is their personal bank accounts or toy funds, and they can give it to anyone they want. They also use it for extortion and honey pots because they run themselves like the mob.

  • We need an archived link for this. Please send me one and I'll put it back up.

    A couple of ways you can archive it, go to the link and putting it in xcancel or archive.is.

  • I really like sh.itjust.works and I'm a mod here. But if I wasn't, I'd be going to piefed's main instance in a second. They seem to have a nice configuration. Not a fan of world, but I'm sure there are other great instances.

  • Are you getting harassed again or taking a break, cuz life?

  • It's getting a 200K funding from your dad that's the real trick. He also worked for a large company making money at the time, he wasn't trying to survive.

  • That's really surprising and sort of sad. Thanks for the source.

  • I think I need a source on that. That doesn't seem like a Carter thing to do, but I'd like to know more.

    Like, you know how Trump’s talking about kicking people off welfare so they’d get jobs? That was a big part of Carter’s stump speeches too.

  • Hitler didn't stay in power long enough to take everything though. (my bad, it was longer than I thought). Also, they probably toed the line and didn't piss him off so they could make lots of money. They weren't special either.

  • The 42% are democrats and 47% are republicans is the true surprise. That is a huge difference even though it might not seem like it.

  • Not keep power, just to get it. Then they dump them once they've got it. See Giuliani, Musk, My Pillow guy, Herman Cain, etc.

  • There’s all this focus on the NWS/NOAA not sending warnings early enough. Not from what I can tell, they were sending out warnings. And Kerr County, where many of the deaths have been, doesn’t have a local flood warning system because they didn’t want to pay for it.

    If the warnings were louder, their parents would have done something. Why are you counting your "not from what I can tell" as data?

    Edit:

    People have reported receiving text message alerts on their mobile phones early on Friday morning, warning them of flooding. Some residents told the New York Times they did not understand the seriousness of them and others said they never received any at all.

  • I don't think that's a good idea at all. Leaks happen all the time and everyone knows that a lot of those machines are compromised. If republicans know exactly who voted for who, that could be an Alligator Auschwitz trip for certain people.

  • It's funny to me that they think they'll be special, every single time. "They won't throw me out the window for my fortune!"

  • Does anyone have numbers on that? Microsoft just announced they're laying off around 10k.

  • They keep saying "criminals," even in this story. Some of them are US citizens, one of them was 4. I'm pretty sure a 4 year old isn't a criminal. Also, with no due process, we don't know shit if they're criminals or not. This is a money grabbing grift that is disappearing people, probably to death.

  • BLM is about not killing people, that's the "lives" part.

  • The trolls will be here claiming that it isn't proven in 3...2...1...

    The research further scrutinizes how the substance harms the kidneys, lungs and liver. Diquat “causes irreversible structural and functional damage to the kidneys” because it can destroy kidney cells’ membranes and interfere with cell signals. The effects on the liver are similar, and the ingredient causes the production of proteins that inflame the organ.

    Meanwhile, it seems to attack the lungs by triggering inflammation that damages the organ’s tissue. More broadly, the inflammation caused by diquat may cause multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, a scenario in which organ systems begin to fail.
