The fee fucking of small businesses in NYC was pretty out of hand tbh. It’s a large part of the two chases across the street from each other phenomenon where only giant orgs can afford to set up shop there, sometimes just to squat on the building for investments.

It seems like it was set up to make every business in violation so that they could selectively punish the ones who don’t play ball with politics.

It’s very generous to think of NYT as liberals and not collaborators.

Well Russia literally attacked the dome of Chenobyl, so what respect can they be said to have for nuclear hazards?

Yes, but you never want to set up a situation where countries can act through companies and avoid the obvious responsibility for those decisions. You also never want to give the reigns of state department powers to private capital, but we’re way past that.

I think you’re thinking about this a bit skewed. The system they’ve set up is identical to Russia, where private mercenaries institute the will of the state without the state taking responsibility. This is only possible when the state actors align with the business interests of the company and so at best they are able to strong arm policy in their favor for access to their controls and at worst act with impunity while the state wipes their hands clean of the consequences. In all cases it being controlled by tech billionaires is worse than being controlled by the government.

It was* exceedingly rare. This admin doesn’t care about any constitutional rights.

A statement of fact vs an obscenity coupled with rude gesture. Ford chose to discipline the statement of fact. Top class company, we should definitely continue to trust them with our lives on the road every day.

As an aside, it sure would be nice if Shawn Fein had this sort of smoke for Trump, but so far all the smoke has been used to blow up his ass. Seems like a good opportunity to change the union tone on Trump… Shawn… Now.

This demonstration of hypocrisy will surely be the one that makes them think twice. /s

Stop trying to hypocrisy burn grifters. Demonstrations that rules of hypocrisy don’t apply to the in-group is part of fascist doctrine, if you want to break through then find the rare exception opportunities to make them apply, such as calling them pedophile defenders, which they absolutely are.

Ukraine thought so too before the man-baby billionaire started fucking with it because they didn’t sufficiently suck his dick. The US should 100% take public ownership of starlink. It’s literally a state department tool, so why is a billionaire controlling it?

Mostly dependent on how much public attention there currently is on him being a confirmed pedophile.

I think there’s some humanity in shared sorrows regardless of your power to stop it. Everyone can contribute a little also. I think with enough motivation empathy can lead to discomfort that can inspire massive change in an individual for the better and in some cases massive changes in a society for the better.

Empathy is something to be proud of. We’d just be dogshit conservatives without it.

Lots of spouses and children finding out their dad is even more of a piece of shit than they suspected today. I hope they’re all able to avoid the obvious domestic abuse that will ensue when the population most likely to be domestic abusers get outed. Hopefully that may also mean a lot of them go to jail tonight, but let’s be honest, their record showing this only makes them more likely to be selected by DHS as an applicant.

Especially if they’re actually trying to run you over and not pointing the tires perpendicular to you, or at least you’d think.

Come on Joe, don’t resign, fight in the position of power not outside of it.

Some of them also look like nordic ghouls and others like blob fish.

Well, tbf demonstrating that the rules don’t apply to the in-group is part of fascism. It’s kinda funny that they’re this committed to the bit though, they look like absolute freakish ghouls now and will never be the same.

Never scared enough, they should only recount what they’re doing from their death beds so their children don’t miss them either.

Man, some people want to be a victim so badly they’ll reach for absolutely anything. The protests were about government violence and the indifference from lawmakers. Only a conservative cry bully could turn that into “I’m being attacked because I’m white”

Affirmative action is precisely not that, you’re again being extremely hyperbolic and exiting the realm of facts to justify your victim complex. Your last sentence is just more laying out of your insistence that helping people is about hurting others. If there’s a zero sum game in America, it’s not between races, it’s between classes. Any other example that might actually be 1 to 1 and not 1 to 0?

NC politicians have been aware longer than most that as soon as Democrats win any elections and then get serious about voting rights they won’t even be a swing state, let alone Republican stronghold any more.
