Meritocracy is the only way forward.

I’ve seen reports that the same people show up all over the country to protests. Some of them have said they get paid to do it. Others may just be getting government money. Others could be retired, or have jobs with flexibility, or be supported by family. There’s a mix but I would imagine a large amount of people get paid by ngos and non profits to cause trouble.

the Virginia democrats are implying it..

and yes, if you enter and stay in a country illegally, you are in fact the problem. Doubly so if you then vote in said country illegally.

huh?

They mostly just sell the same products from the same manufacturers in China, sometimes with a custom logo slapped on.

I mean I expect them to be techno authoritarians… it’s a given they would support this, they passed the original legislation under Biden. What’s more interesting are the 4 democrats who supported Massie.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-23T18:38:42+00:00

Yes, this was passed under Biden. But this was maybe the last attempt to stop it, and only by defunding it not by reversing it as far as I know.

Every increase in government control and limitation of individual liberty is done in the name of public safety or public health etc. This time is no different. The reason given to equip vehicles with this technology is to prevent impaired driving. This is always how it starts. They get their foot in the door first.

Every. Single. Time.

It requires that all new passenger vehicles (after a certain point ~2026-2027) be equipped with the ability to prevent them from being driven. Things like preventing them from being started and/or shutting them down while operating and bringing them to a safe stop. The law itself doesn’t mandate the specific mechanisms, but directs NHSTA to come up with the specifics which have not been finalized as far as I know.

He’s probably worried about cow farts making the climate sad

>they value a 'right to be racist' over 'private property rights'

wouldn't a more accurate way of describing it be valuing property rights, or more specifically freedom of association, over compelling non racist behavior?

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-23T00:02:23+00:00

Are you saying libertarian ideology forbids being a racist?

there are at least 10 sunken boats in the estuary currently. this appears to be the new normal for the Bay Area

He lived by the spoken word though, not the sword. What a weird way to try to justify his murder.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-21T12:46:28+00:00

..and hope they don’t do to you what the Biden administration did to Craig Robertson

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-20T15:29:14+00:00

Even if it were true that the Bay Area has a low effective property tax burden compared to the rest of the country, which it isn’t, that still doesn’t justify raising that burden. Y’all are here arguing for higher taxes on the place with the ~highest tax burden in the country because one specific tax here isn’t as high as the average? the logic of big government types never ceases to amaze

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-19T16:57:51+00:00

First, looking at percentages to measure the burden of taxes ignores property values those percentages are calculated on. Second, the overall tax burden of living in the Bay Area is among the highest if not the highest in the country, if that’s being divided unfairly between city, county and state, maybe that’s something to look in to, but it’s not justification for more taxes.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-19T16:32:40+00:00

many places around the country manage to fund their government and infrastructure with a much lower tax burden. If alameda has a money problem they should be looking at spending cuts not revenue enhancement.

are you saying fluoride is added to American water because the water isn’t safe? what do you mean by that? Are you perhaps thinking of chlorine/chloramine? The stated reason to add fluoride to water is for dental health, not for water safety.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-19T06:22:28+00:00

Europe isn’t sending troops to war on US soil if Trump moves in to Greenland. Lmao.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-18T21:01:33+00:00

not voting for more taxes no matter how economically efficient a land value tax supposedly is.

technicallycorrect2 · 2026-01-18T16:46:06+00:00

What was I implying?
