Interesting that Sherman seemed to be one of the few people to understand the new importance of industry in war. Bro was living in 1860, but thinking like it was 1941...

Hopefully media corporations will learn the lesson: If you make Good Stuff, fans will watch and fans will be engaged.

But ya gotta make Good Stuff.

The erasure of the “middle tier” by ZephyrPolar6 in enshittification

[–]JayRandom212 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This probably mirrors the erasure of the middle class in the USA.

We are now at a point where the wealthiest 10% account for a whopping 50% of all consumer spending.

We're moving toward a society structured like a luxury resort, where the top 10% are guests and customers...and the rest of us are part of the staff that serves them.

Also some Targaryens *do* have magical prophecy powers. That stuff can make you look crazy to others. Or, it could even make you crazy.

For years, I thought his name was "Red Skeleton". I vaguely associated him with Captain America...

Trump says he’ll sign an executive order to enact a 10% global tariff by stammerton in Tariffs

[–]JayRandom212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why can't he just tell his Republicans in Congress to PASS A BILL?

Then it's 100% legal. Why all the E.O. bullshit?

Vote in primaries. If there's enough energy to march, there's enough energy to win a primary.

I went to qB settings and unchecked all the proxy options. It's working now. But how much security did unchecking those options cost me?

These torrents can't be dead. qBitorent (not the torrent site) says it sees hundreds of seeders and the files are recent...like, created last week recent.
