E Pluribus Unum

Privatize the gains, Socialize the losses.

Neat, he should try it on

Could not agree with you more. Best time for our industry to get serious about unionization was probably after the .com bubble burst. We could have leveraged the degree to which our skills were needed in that era and headed off a lot of today’s problems if we had strong unions in place, but sadly it’s still probably one of the lowest density sectors for organized labor. Now would be a good time to start pulling heads out of asses. I think many of our brothers and sisters in tech are starting to wake up to reality now that we’re in our 5th-6th straight year of widespread layoffs for “reasons.”

It can start with honest and direct 1on1 convos in order to thwart groupthink nonsense, and build on things from there. A simple organizing committee is a great first step.

Is it really illegal if it’s intentionally never prosecuted?

One of his many word salads involved an offer to split the tolls between us and Iran, so yeah, that’s what he wants. The dummy simply didn’t realize access to the strait was so valuable until after the bombs started dropping.

Good point, and yeah no, they were murdered.

The state leadership did seem to have politically outmaneuvered the US and Israel, however. I think that was OP’s point. They definitely won the culture war and controlling the narrative…not hard considering they were not the aggressors.

Netanyahu is on video making these claims in attempt to pull the US into war with Iran as far back as the 90s…!

Good analysis, agreed on all points.

In terms of american choice of EVs, nothing, because our government is bought and doesn’t represent the people at all.

In terms of elongated muskrat lib palatability, he did the thing and took the mask off.

At this point if you’re still driving a swasticar, you deserve it.

2 double espressos to start the day, 3-4 more singles throughout the day. Cutoff for coffee is 7pm, and I usually have 1-2 hot green teas in the evening to wind down.

It’s one of my last remaining vices of significance, very tough for me to get going without caffeine and I get a headache by mid afternoon if I don’t get me some by then.

I’m surprised at most of the people in this thread with their minimal intake. Good for you I guess. To the boofers: I get it, but just not for me.

Terrifying once you realize what they really mean by “think of the children”

Sadly I believe this is because a blanket insider trading ban for Congress would be a non starter. Most of them are there for that exact reason imo, the corpo pac bribes are just a bonus that is helpful in guiding policy when they have to do actual “work”

To be fair, Israel fired the first shots when they learned about a gathering of high profile diplomats who could all be murdered together. They did the schoolgirls at the same time just because that’s how Israelis roll.

It seems like the US didn’t anticipate things popping off at this somewhat earlier than expected juncture. But also, that US leadership doesn’t really give a shit how many American lives are lost fighting Israel’s wars for them, so there’s that too.

This said from a Tucker Exclusionary Radical Progressive perspective? Who cares where Cenk finds common ground, this war is wrong, and Israel is asshole.

don’t be evil

I have had issues like this with “deep sleep” on some monitors. Sometimes manufacturers release monitor firmware updates to fix, sometimes they don’t…good luck!

Edit: iirc it is a DisplayPort related issue and shouldn’t happen if you’re using hdmi instead, could be one option for you to pursue.

Depends on how they handle their Nardwuar interview.

Precisely, there is video of Netanyahu from 25 years ago addressing US Congress claiming Iranian nukes are just around the corner. It has always been a lie. Israel has been trying to drag us into this war on their behalf forever. Iran has a real military, unlike the Palestinians. Israel would get walloped by them without US support, and they don’t need nukes to do it.

This is why their terms are just as ludicrous for this conflict as they have always been for Palestinians. Full ballistic missile disarmament is a joke, no nation in their right mind would consider this.

Good points, but the contention between branches is just kabuki theatre. It’s fake bro. There are always a rotating cast of “spoiler villains,” and if too many of them are facing reelection then they just make something up like “senate parliamentarian won’t let them.”

If the Dem president actually wanted to get something done then he’d use the bully pulpit like Trump does to make it so. This happened approximately 0 times during Biden’s 4 year slumber.
