Oh those poor sex workers…not having enough clients, while the client go to prison. Make it either all illegal or all legal. This legalizing of one side of the exchange and criminalizing of the other is gender discrimination and systemic misandry.

We are just things to these people, to be used and based as they please.

Which is what Trump kept driving them to with all his strongman tactics. Trump’s influence has a time limit as nations divest from the US. Leverage is something a wise leader works to quietly undermine.

Realistically NATO countries should be doing exercises without the US as well.

America is reminding the world why self sufficiency is important. Unfortunately, that also means pulling away from the global community, losing the benefits of an interconnected world, and building systems that allow countries to censor and manipulate what their own citizen can access. Trump does not understand the value of friendship or community. He requires the use of force or manipulation to be included anywhere or to interact with anyone.

We all learned the lesson but the people who could implement the lesson refuse to because it isn’t to their personal advantage. We all know what the wise thing to do is but that would disempower some very rich and influential people who should never have been allowed to grow to be so influential over the state, aka us, that we can’t stop them from forcing us to pay for their speculative risk taking.

They forced massive shifts across the economy and wasted massive resources chasing a speculative technology all for power. We all suffer because of this and the government refuses to deal with it because we elect business friendly, ambitious liars.

Because they defer to power.

We should start go fundmeing whistleblowers.

They learn how to profit the next time.

Too big to fail is too big to exist. Break them up.

Never actually heard of it.

One of many ironies of the republican brand.

That says more about the capabilities of satellites than it does to emphasize the extent of the situation. They can see a foot wide object from space, probably smaller

At the most he’s the least horrible of them.

Always was, so why didn’t yall act like it?

It’s the same issue in both cases. A dem that fights like a Republican would take over the party.

Concern can be exhausted and the idiot masses continue to eagerly throw everyone under the bus for whatever shiny toy gets dangled in their face.

What am I dependent on to access by stuff if I use a passkey? A smart phone?

I’m suddenly in favour of the death penalty.
