The oligarchs are perfectly fine with a lower quality of life for everyone else if it means their bottom line goes up and they can still afford what they want. In fact it benefits them by reducing the cost of one of their biggest line items: labor. You have heard billionaires repeatedly bemoan that they would prefer Americans cost the same as 3rd world countries so they can get their cheap labor.
That’s a long winded way of saying “this is working as designed for them”
I found this announcement after the fact but explains why I couldn’t access things.
Honestly, I’m never really concerned with downtime on Lemmy.ee, you are so on top of it that if it goes down I know it’ll be up again in a couple hours and gives me a chance to go touch grass.
I’ll keep saying this. The DNC and majority (not all) of the Democrats in congress are basically a controlled opposition for the rich. Look at their wealth and backgrounds and understand that they are not fighting for the working man either. Bernie and AOC are some of the good ones that do care but they’re far outweighed.
So one thing I tend to do when researching a product is search for “
<model_name>
specs” or “specifications”. I usually try to see if they have a marketing slick or one pager of what the item has to find it out. If worse comes to worse I’ll browse the user manual, if something is ambiguous but majority of the times that search will help me find what I need.
Also to anyone saying “well how can they deport a citizen when the other country won’t take them since they’re not one of their citizens?”
That’s the point…. They’ll stay locked up in internment camps because the US “is looking into their citizenship status” and they’ll stay there for an indefinite time.
Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.
All I’m getting lately in my feed are cats!
