As a headline it’s nice but I believe that “matters less because of their circumstances” may be closer to the truth…if Obama is on one side of the tracks and Vought is on the other I’m saving Obama, but not because Obama is black but because he’s a better person.

You’re conflating what he says with what is actually happening. Never believe what the orange man says especially when it comes to details. Also according to him drug prices are reduced by 400, 500, 600%.

It’s still not taxed because its technically bha, I keep seeing this misinformation repeated. Still a publicity stunt that doesn’t actually do anything and also a blatant lie saying it’s coming from tariff revenue but not taxed.

Innovation necessarily leads to reduced labor requirements for the same output; however, the question is who benefits from that. The answer is whoever has the power, but we can change the balance of power through collective action so that the benefits are shared with those who helped innovate.

Yes, they don’t protect your jobs they balance power so that employers have a harder time taking advantage of employees. It’s not everything but it is much much more than just a useful feature. Coming from Germany you may take for granted labor conditions that you have due to unions.

Most importantly here is going to something where laws and unions protect your job. Without a check on companies they will always consolidate power and use it to take advantage of labor (you). The problem isn’t tech, the problem is a misbalance of power.

Honestly, our system would work better by orders of magnitude if:
1) We got money out of it
2) Went to ranked choice voting
3) Had stronger support for unions
Change the balance of power, and suddenly the system works better for all.

Small potatoes compared to what they stole in health care and food from needy children. They steal your lunch, give you a cookie back, and tell you to say thank you.

Even with obvious rulings you never know what this Supreme Court will do. I believe they see the wind shifting and will hopefully make the right decision even if for the wrong reasons.

Even though I completely agree that the president should not be using this language, this should not be a talking point. Many people voted for him BECAUSE he normalized this. No one is changing their minds over this, and hammering it may solidify the stance of those who would otherwise be movable

It’s not even about that, it’s about trying to keep the base angry at “the other” and not looking who is actually causing the problems

This shit alone should push people in the other direction, when you can’t make an argument and have to resort to foul play to win you don’t deserve it. “If you’re not cheating you’re not trying” does not belong in politics.

You’re not wrong, but we currently live in a system where you have to choose. Fight to change that system so we can get better representation, but before that day comes we have to choose between bad or worse. Not voting for someone is the same as voting for the other person in our system.

As much as I agree this could have been a little more frank, they do make these points in the article. NPR is one of the few news sources that hasn’t become inflammatory for views and I respect that even if I think they’re too soft sometimes.

Amazon’s only profitable because of AWS, even if you’re not buying anything online you’re going to sites that use AWS which may make money through showing you ADs for instance. Hard to escape.
