" The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories."
This article is great top to bottom but ‘at-risk dictators’ made me cackle
I hope they do what the Colbert Report did, keep the inforwars name and let it be a right wing lampooning.
Every time the price spikes I get the feeling its large holders cashing out while they can and the liquid from newcomers is available. Which would make it mostly a scam, kinda like the stock market but even more shallow somehow, as if the stock market wasn’t unrelated enough to actual production and very esoteric.
Did Newsom take a rightward lean once he started getting groomed for a president run or has he always been this bad? I feel like every time I hear about him nationally hes doing something scummy like that or rounding up homeless people.
Wild, thanks for the input, think im gonna try and read a little more about this and other rcv initiatives. Would love to be able to understand how they pass and fail in case my state decides to put it on the ballot in the future.
Was it too confusing or did someone spend a lot of money playing ads that kept saying it was too confusing I wonder. I’d actually love to hear what the local ads and media around that ballot measure were like if anyone is local to Oregon.
This article is literally why. Political outsider with popular policies won, do you know how much money a voting system that does this will cost the people writing those laws?
First Ranked Choice vote.
Elect Progressive.
Other politicians: ‘Okay that’s enough RCV for America’
I see interests colliding in the future and I’m curious to how it plays out. Mexico is clearly going to be much less diplomatically available for Trump, so long as he keep his same rhetoric and plans going. This significantly lowers the leverage US auto makers have in lobbying Uncle Sam to use diplomacy to keep Chinese EV plants out of Mexico. Trump certainly seems to be driving Mexico toward China, and his economic moves in his first term drove China to Mexico, these bridges are already built, many of the Chinese goods that he kept out of the US simply went south.
They don’t even put the answer in the title, this is peak irresponsible journalism.
They’re complicit and they know it. Its better for profits this way.
Despite the US constant vilification of China, they seek to have just as much control and surveillance over you. The ruling class would LOVE if they could control a population the way Beijing does. We already live in a surveillance state. We can adress it or let it get worse but both parties allow and encourage these policies.
Other countries should sanction US goods and services made with such labor like they do for Chinese goods made with forced labor. I won’t hold my breath though, the world at large was clearly never too upset about the forced labor part or something would have already been done about this.
As long as we keep not listening to the scientists, no I think there is no getting betrer. A world like ours is not going to get better as the climate deteriorates, and we cannot reign in the rich from continuing to kill the envrioment for profit. So long as carbon credits exist large polluters will continue to pollute and simply buy their way back into compliance. Based on the lack of progress on this exesistential issue for the survival of the whole species, at the very least its going to get a lot worse before it ever gets better, if theres still an environment that can support life left.
Ill believe it when I see it, half these women have the most conservative SO you’ve ever met and tells them they’re good people at the end of hard days. Also these particular women are transphobes, so fuck them.
Would an undisputed Trump presidency be less violent than ripping off the band aid? Dont choose more violence simply because it happens slower.
Its stock market gains, so yes.
Oh man I was gonna come in here with a sarcastic ‘well they should have voted’ joke but damn, I feel like when the Onion get’s out Onion-ed by reality.
Yep Naomi Klein has a book titled The Shock Doctrine that has explored this. Its a good read if you haven’t already.
Yes honestly, we can manage what instances are pooled for on boarding.
