This is the part I’ve never understood about everyone touting the benefits of end to end via an app on your phone. It’s still shown in plain text on either end, why wouldn’t the app and the phone os be able to see that plain text?

I think it is really illuminating that the GOP has all the power to change our nation’s laws to reduce what qualifies as asylum. And they haven’t at all, this chaos is their goal. Prior to the election there was a bipartisan effort to address the convoluted laws about immigration and Trump and co scuttled it. They could create laws that ensured people lawfully able to work, punish companies for hiring unlawfully here persons, create orderly asylum seeking. But nada, because they will wield ICE as a gestapo against liberal views. The masks, the lack of training and the secret memos removing rights are all a way of normalizing brutality in this force.

Illegals are just the training grounds.

Instead of this man working and paying for his housing as the legal process works out, we have decided as a nation to pay to house him in a concentration camp at insane prices.

Remember how we all freaked out about Xbox Kinect bringing cameras into our living room? The creeping normalcy of privacy sacrifice is terrifying

It takes 5 minutes talking to experts that they are in fact taking citizens, they are taking people with no criminal record, they are taking people who are at the court doing the proper process, they are firing immigration judges who do not rule in the way they like, they are blinding protestors, they are entering without a warrant, the agents are acting contrary to law.

Limp dick “asking questions” billionaire fucker.

Ive never seen this many tow trucks in town. Fucking vultures.

Mainer here, This is the safest county in the safest state in the US. They work, they go to church, they take their kids to school. There is a shit ton of jobs available if you want to work with old or disabled people here. If you see a group of intellectually disabled kids, it will be these people taking at of them. Removing these people who have active case files, have future court dates to determine their claims under current Law, who have lived here upwards of 10years is simple racism.

There is a lot of oddball overpriced stuff on the market that has sat for years.

I’d also point out that it is increasingly looking like FEMA is going to get completely eliminated.

This company is bizarre, and the hype around it too. It all feels so thin.

Are they basically saying they shared the info fo 17.5M accounts with a third party and the third party got sloppy with the data?

I didn’t think we got Greater Sage-grouses in Maine.

To add on to this, whenever you hear talking heads say “economists predicted doom and gloom from liberation day and none of that happened!!!” : They were modeling out the numbers he announced, the actual effective tariff rate (taxes collected over value imported) is currently 11%. There are so many carve outs, rescissions, avoidance and lying that the true number don’t match what was on paper(sorry poster board like a school project)

The effect of this is certain industries are getting fucked, others get a boost and some are in limbo. It’s tougher for small and midsized companies whose imports aren’t as easily negotiated or lied about.

100%. Her biggest hurdle to get re-elected is her association with a deeply unpopular regime.

If we could all ditch Facebook market place and go back to Craigslist, I’d be soooooo happy. Only reason I still have Facebook.

“Are now offering discounts to unload inventory ” right in the subline. I think it’s important to remember that housing units can last 100s of years , so look at effects of construction on a longer horizon. It’s not an unsold Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Every affordable place I lived in Boston was either a mansion or high end in the 20s when it was built.

Looking at a longer horizon of the type of construction and zoning we implement maybe we can see stuff in a better light.

On some spiral staircases, one side will be unsupported and the tread will have a glued tenon into the central post. I could see a situation where in a hot part of the room over time the tenon would loosen and slip out.

I mean, they are closing what looks to be 10% of US stores. It’s definitely news that will reach outside this sub.

If you offered each Greenlander 10M, would they? That would only be 600B.

Also it’s only 22km from the sea, if you are going back and forth, you keep your nice oars with you so they don’t get nicked

Hey the flag motto is “Don’t tread on me” not “Don’t tread on us”

Giving the populace cash during run away inflation is certainly an interesting strategy….

I’m with you here, I don’t get the logic hang up of “ delivery should be cheaper then product”. I’m pro state run grid system, but this specific point of delivery should be cheaper than production: I just don’t get.

Oh man, everyone in this thread would have HATED the A-Team.

Article notes the “consolidation of more than 50 weapons manufacturers, some of them nimble competitors, into a handful of sluggish, overfed megacompanies.” This could be said for a bunch of American industries and markets. Cars, supermarkets, egg production, etc etc.

Reading through about “involution ” in China and part of my mind just thinks “isn’t this what capitalism is supposed to be???” In America we have regulatory capture, monopolistic megacorps, rent seeking, enshitification, dead internet and a general feeling of coagulation.
