a particularly interesting move would be the chinese govt placing an export tariff on the same items indexed to the weighted average US import tariff for chinese made products. fun times.
not only is noscript your general browsing prophylactic, but it will often render js paywalls climbable. I have no other plugin as loved and as useful as noscript - immediate install on any firefox instance.
wow! self-reflection is something we all need more of (especially me). agree or disagree, converstaions are always better when everyone considers things for a moment. nice comment. :-)
I am sure you already know, but the objection here is going after kids. literally profiling and then abusing their vulnerabilities for profit. this isnt your standard cereal box advertising, I think this is something much darker and more disgusting.
I am so sorry. I have kids that are now trapped in this absolute dumpster fire of a country we have crafted. we need a different way, and getting there may be supremely painful.
I wish I had more to offer than "dont give up", but its basically what I tell my kids. soon enough the prior failures will be dead and its your job to make sure your contemporary failures never get anywhere near the leavers of power.
to save the economy for the privileged and retain extractive opportunities from the rest of us, there was going to be something stabilizing done. I dont get that feeling now.
the ones responsible for 2008 were the beneficiaries of the bailouts and continued wealth extraction - aside from feeding on the rotting carcass of Lehman Brothers, of course no one but the public paid any real price. the owners of the country wont punish themselves.
2008 at least had the feeling that unified executive and congressional action was possible regardless of universal agreement. I have serious doubts that enough republicans will act in contravention of trump. we are in mad king territory.
we are quickly running out of runway and its still engines on full power and flaps at zero degrees.
agreed, but we are still in the shallows... the follow-on 2008 redux hasnt even started to hit yet - I am waiting for bond market defenestration. this funamentally feels way more "insane"
The data analytic tools now being used to scour social media were enhanced during the Biden administration, a former Biden administration DHS official said. But to use them to search social media of nonviolent students, the official said, is different from what the previous administration intended.
“We were not targeting political activity or speech. We would only review them if they were inciting violence,” the former Biden administration official said.
because the former administrations tools never become the latter administrations weapons. america - running towards fascism since 09/11/2001.
