She was pretty popular when Tim Kaine Waltz was calling out Republicans forbeing eeird and heinous. But then they reigned that in and decided to focus on how great the economy actually was and started to bring out the most heinous Republicans from 20 years ago for rhe campaign.

It’s from the 90’s

We are looking at the mistake of allowing capital to offshore everything in the 70’s and 80’s. China didn’t force those companies to stop maintaining their existing infrastructure and outsource all their manufacturing overseas, they chose it in the interest of lower costs.

See, my first thought would be to crack down on the tech parasites that are ruining out society instead of changing the law to accommodate them. But I’m just a dumb American who lives in a place where corporations are allowed to do whatever they want including killing whistleblowers, but I’m sure that the fascist parties taking power in Europe won’t do that.

There is nothing stopping the EU from going the DeepSeek route and just stealing the finished LLM’s from American companies. But the truth is that the EU shouldn’t want to have all these data centers training generative models. The us is already dedicating 4% of our electricity production to them, with people in states along the Great Lakes and Eastern seaboard seeing massive increases in their electric bills to pay for them (~30% for me in Ohio, ~75% for my brother in Virginia). I can understand if you are a technocratic neoliberal in the EU parliament that is taking bribes from tech firms why you would want this, but for anyone paying attention, rhe promises tech companies are making to burn hundreds billions of euros while gutting privacy, 🔏IP, and consumer protections at the top of the bubble makes no sense.

When they say “standing up to Trump didn’t work” they actually mean that their corporate donors got mad at them and threatened to cut them off

Republicans are behold to the same corporate interests as the Democrats. The busiest travel week in the country is coming up and airports are already buckling under the shutdown pressure. Now millions have suffered for nothing.

Republicans aren’t going to vote to continue the subsidies next month. And they won’t when the CR expires in the new year. What they needed to do was force the Republicans to extend the subsidies now.

The Democrats are feckless cowards who serve the Republicans everything they want on a silver platter

So you support the Democrats Susan G Komen approach to government? Raise miney to pay for staffers and beurocrats and then give pennies to you actual mission?

They held on for over a month and then gave up, giving the Republicans everything they wanted. Premiums always go up, but you’re either a moron or a bad actor if you think premiums going up 10% is worse than doubling. Republicans won’t vote for the subsidies, so the Democrats have jusy thrown away all their leverage for a pinky promise

Euphonium gang rise up! Now is our chance to be heard

He’ll nit support cost of living, depressed wages, and will continue to offer tax breaks to the wealthy. Maybe he throws LGB people a bone, but he will absolutely make sure trans people get shafted. He’s a corporate Dem when what the Dems actually need to be doing to helping working people.

Typically the state government is the largest single employer in any given state. If California withheld all their public employees’s federal income tax, Uncle Sam would feel that pretty sharply, especially if joined by New York and New England.

You can hold someone accountable when a person runs over a child or a pet. Who is the responsible party when a waymo kills someone?

Literally more journalists died in Gaza after October 7 than in 4 years of war in Ukraine. Israel has been intentionally targeting any journalists they can find in Palestine.

Probably because Israel kills more journalists than any other country

Damn, looks like Trump shouldn’t have slasher the IRS budget and fired all their auditors.

SCOTUS told us it isn’t illegal if the president does it. He literally could have mandated all data on federal student loans be forgiven. Biden sat on his hands for 4 years and expected people to just support his designated successor.

It does literally no good as they just stuff what they can offshore to avoid any taxes. They do nothing for the economy other than to drain resources.

You don’t use weapons grade plutonium for nuclear reactors
