Conservatives have the same understanding of real world mechanics as a child.

The R next to a politician’s name means (Review Needed)

Look, the template was included with Word and the editor wanted a quick story so…

Britain saw the US and thought “they clearly don’t know what they’re doing. we’re smarter and will make private health insurance work”

Welcome to the financial threat of surviving!

This has been their schtick since Game and Watch.

Puerto Rico has been a key location for companies that want to build in the US but pay like it’s Mexico. The EPA doesn’t exercise the same oversight in territories like it does in states so the people and land are taken advantage of whenever it’s cheap. Here’s a fun short film from MST3k and it isn’t the only one. Puerto Rico has been abused by moneyed interests for a while now.

Sony didn’t release the Xperia VI in the US this year. It’s one less phone that supports an audio jack.

That byline is the real gift

Starting January 1, Floridians can no longer legally come to Pornhub.

Remember when Trump said COVID would go down if we stopped testing? He’s determined to prove he’s right with Bird Flu.

Trump is mad the poll made him worry he might not be elected like Putin promises.

I keep running through the difference between the reaction to this vs elementary school kids dying to gun violence. It’s one CEO and everything in the media has galvanized to unite around a singular message of horrible violence. Hundreds of children have died and nothing changed. It’s fucking infuriating.

The stories we get on Lemmy are found by folks with similar taste in politics and so are sourced from media which helps reinforce our perspective. This skews our perception to be more inline with what we want at the cost of the reality. There are many who support this new jingoist kleptocracy and will hurt themselves for a chance to get a piece of the action.

Walmart has some employees upset at its lack of DEI. None of those employees make business decisions that can see this reversed. The people are upset but the decision makers don’t care.

“Everyone assumed that we were going to fail politically,” Milei told the cheering crowd. “Today they admit, through gritted teeth, that they are surprised.”

Yeah, it’s worse than they thought dude. This is not shock born of pride; the gritted teeth are stopping folks from screaming.

Ah yes, product registration. Good to know me absentmindedly not registering is fighting against police tracking and CEO business strategy.

Good. Money can’t buy happiness and if they try, we need to take their happiness. Billionaires already have everything, they don’t need peace of mind.

Propaganda told them to.

Downwind too.

He’s just another idiot who confuses microeconomic debt with macro economic debt and wants to remove it because it is debt and must be “bad”. Argentina will plummet into a 3rd world GDP and the US will see all of it and still try it.

The rich want to cut away anything that stands between them and more money - including safeguards for the people.

It’s a service for the public interest and should be run by local governments, like roads, parks, libraries, fire departments, etc. The end goal of a service isn’t to make money but to be used by the community. This is also why running a country as a business doesn’t make sense - countries aren’t meant to generate profit. A nation is a safeguard for the people within against the unpredictable reality of everyday living.
