They can’t say that. That shows intention and emotion which they can’t be certain about. Their ability to claim “neutrality” is much more important than honesty of a small child in The Emperor’s New Clothes.

They also are represented by the same law firm who Amazon, musk and trader Joe’s use who are suing to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional, attempting to remove a small, occasional road bump of worker accountability on the road to fascism.

Companies who are supposed to sell tents and canoe paddles, when they think workers are not important, when their entire model is based on outsourced production of cheaply produced, massively overpriced goods, also is the kind of org that doesn’t know what isn’t important.

Like AI slop for a retailer.

Sounds like socialism for therms! Can’t have 'em mixing.

Thank you for the detail, that’s much better than my partial understanding.

Because he could just declare bankruptcy–only suckers without connections have to take out loans that Biden led the charge on–hand-in-hand with conservatives to make the debt non-dischargeable even in bankruptcy.

Conservatives only give tax breaks to the wealthy and cut actual government the poors all need, but NAFTA and the college debt bill were two of the most broadly damaging economic mobility bills passed in the last 30 years. Clinton passed NAFTA.

Equally concerning is people are still buying Campbell’s shit salt-in-a-can.

Don’t gatekeep vulnerability. You’re buying into stuff that keeps the ultra wealthy in power. Almost everyone is “working class” and is dependent on the same things; employment from a likely crappy company, shitty healthcare, poor education, etc. Yes there are obviously groups that have suffered much more because of race, sex, ethnicity, etc., but acknowledging that life is a struggle–different but still a struggle–for most is a far cry from “all lives matter” which seems to discount the suffering of others. 99% of people can’t just pick up and leave and that’s a hard economic fact, to say nothing about the other pieces that make relocation challenging.

I certainly didn’t say relocating wasn’t right in the face of violence and fascism, but simply saying people “should” doesn’t make it any more likely when they face very real barriers to doing so.

Making US refugees share tents with the mass deportees and temporarily unhoused immigrants who no longer are attempting to enter the US would be fitting, but not a great pitch for Americans looking for somewhere peaceful and stable to land.

Important that this be recorded as the true, accurate information about these people and issues as court cases, science and investigations have proven. Accurate information is critically important and it would be a shame if inaccurate information from other sources were cited.

Everyone is vulnerable, 99% do not have the means. Where would they even go? Draftees fled to Canada during Nam, the current dynamics are much different since the US govt is doing everything it can to break historic relationships. Both countries are also carefully negotiating trade pact to include things like making refugee status harder to obtain. Only fair the rest of the world do it, but “y’all should just leave” hardly helpful as an answer

This country is sick and no one should voluntarily be coming here.

No it doesn’t at all. Kristi Noem immediately issued a statement about this week’s episode because they’re a completely irrelevant TV show that no one cares about, especially her who keeps responding to them.

🤔

Wait I thought South Park was irrelevant and no one had watched it in 20 years just a week ago, now they warrant additional comment? Interesting…

This is it.

No, he said torch. I assume butane.

Right, and by manual approval it just would be the absolute lowest priority. Kind of like the automated message “we’re expecting higher than normal call volumes” as companies gently tell us their margins are more important than their customers.

Who do you think will employ them?

Normally I’d say Spectre, Gru, M.A.D, etc. but I think they’ve all disbanded as they now have US cabinet posts. I guess they should emigrate to Canada or Mexico and help prepare to defend themselves from the inevitable “security visit” that will start to happen.

It’s a step. Why wouldn’t they default to not accepting any AI generated content, and maybe have a manual approval process? It would both protect the content and discourage LLM uses where llms suck.

This part, where the mask comes off is dizzyingly fast, but it hasn’t been slow and isn’t new. Voter disenfranchisement hass been going on since the country was founded (women, non-whites, to say nothing of native Americans) and has continued regularly. The first election I could vote in had the deciding state’s recount vote stopped by someone appointed by the brother of the man who would benefit if the vote count stopped. I’ve twice voted in presidential elections where the winner of the popular vote lost the election. 5 years ago there was an attempted coup by one party because they didn’t like the results and most of those who committed crimes were pardoned by the person who led them to attempt the coup.

The mask is now off and we’re better for it; it has been a sham for a long time. The civil war was never finished and unfortunately will have to be fought again.
