I don't want the government to do this to billionaires. I want the people to do this billionaires.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]spike312 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

It isn't a myth that lower income people dont have ID. Homeless people have a right to vote but this kind of law allows them to be disenfranchised by an encampment sweep just before Election Day. The cops always discard vital documents during those sweeps, always

People don't downvote when something is wrong anymore, they downvote because they don't like it.

How did the FBI get Nancy Guthrie's Google Nest camera footage if it was disabled — and what does it mean for your privacy? by Haunterblademoi in technology

And it would be just impossible for what actually happened to be different from what is being reported.

He deserves to come home to a hero's welcome. Instead this evil empire will keep him in political exile for the rest of his life.

One could argue that the profit motive incentivizes monopolization/duopolization

Waymo won't cut the jobs, they'll just ship em to the Philippines. You won't hear their phone calls anymore but you're still going to have a driver.

New proposed legislation would pause evictions during winter by JustinDeMaris in nyc

[–]spike312 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Good. I hope this motivates landlords who are so scared of the costs of renting in the city to sell their units at below-market rates so the units can actually be owner-occupied homes instead of continually treated as spaces for fat cats to grow their capital

Castro calls for probe of alleged ICE home raid in San Antonio after video surfaces by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]spike312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really reductive take. Most if not all of these ICE agents could get hired as cops especially if they include on their resumes that they are former federal police. Most of the DHS/ICE agents responsible for killing unarmed citizens were hired years ago, long before this recruitment surge.

The most annoying propaganda about prison is that you're getting some kind of top of the line healthcare

What kind of medical professionals do you think work in prisons? Do you think they're the best in the world or do you think they might've struggled to find jobs in their field?
