They’re not going to get any (honest) concessions while Trump is alive and in the white house.

There’s only one country whose citizens assume everyone else is from their country and it’s incredibly annoying

Very annoying.

The real solution is separating church from education entirely.

Everyone gets public school, if you want to send them to an after hours system like CDC (what Catholics have) or something else in addition to normal school, then that shouldn’t be publicly funded in any way.

Absolutely.

Same goes with any private school.

Fully fund the public schools, and if someone wants their kids going to some elitist private school, that’s up to them to pay for themselves.

In a lot of companies those roles overlap.

And TwitterX

And anything else with Musk’s fingerprints on it.

How is this legal??

You aren’t considering the “who is gonna stop us?” counter-arguement.

Are they allowed to?

Who’s gonna stop them?

They’ll have to if they expect the rest of us to trust them going forward.

The unilateral presidential pardon and veto are both huge mistakes.

That puts far too much power in the hands of one person. Especially in a country that wanted to eliminate a king-like position ruling over them.

Ignoring the warnings is hardly a win.

Not even ironically.

But corporations are people

That’s another concept that needs to cease to exist.

Sci-fi has been warning us about exactly this type of maglomaniac and the future they want to control for as long as I can remember.

“In this supply-constrained environment, efficiency of centralized control only makes sense!”

“For whom?

Makes (financial) sense for the central controller’s business model to succeed.

So we’d own a basic terminal, and pay a subscription for our computing needs.

No.

We would rent a proprietary terminal that also needs a paid subscription to a computing service.

What exactly are they waiting for?

Most of them don’t know that anything else exists.

That’s just standard business practice these days.

Short term profits are much more important than the long-term sustainability of the business.

Why are none of them saying anything about the Sadam Hussein comparison?

Maybe they don’t understand the reference?

Trump failed to stop inflation.

Trump actively fueled inflation.

Despite his lies during the campaign, everything he did made inflation much worse than if he had done nothing at all.

I wonder where the American fugitive fascists will run to hide?

The colonizers and the religious leaders had difgerent but overlapping interests and used each other to help push their own agenda.
