Iran war? You mean the Trump / Epstein files diversion?

Just that monitors don’t redlect light, they emit light, and rules change

Tax breaks should be prohibited, they all have been used to just make rich people richer.

We all have to pay taxes, so fuck your break. I don’t get one, you don’t get one either.

And here come the “But Iran is awesome, the US is evil” types

Quick answer to all of them: they are both evil.

That is because right now he is

Just another day in America

Waluigi?

I’m too scared to look it up

Uh huh, seen these on a weekly basis for at least 30 years now. Wake me up when you have one in a car

What’s up with the AI slop image for this post?

Also, Mozilla is destroying Firefox by themselves, they don’t need help from m$

Nah, just 10M wealth caps…

Management is free to give you a 100M bonus! If your current worth is 1M, 91M of that bonus will go to taxes and you receive 9M and after that, all goes to taxes.

If you have shares, and the value of those shares goes up? You’ll have to pay the taxes over that, sell some shares, and pay money to taxes. And yeah, companies would simply need boat loads of small shareholders.

And no, 100M is already way too much. If you need investment for bigger things, maybe think independent, government funded investment companies that could be a thing?

A lot of people in the USA are one absence from losing their job. Most of us cannot handle an unexpected $500 expense.

Shouldn’t either of these things be enough for people to PROTEST EVERY FUCKING DAY!??! Add to that that your current “big strong leader” is a pants shitting murdering pedophile who is speed running your country off a cliff and I would feel that if I were American, I would be protesting every fucking day, after work if need be. Americans have been fucked over left and right for countless decades and so far they’ve been a champ and took the fucking like the sheep they are.

How to I propose you do that? By going out every day to protest? If you can’t do without your job, then do it before and or after your job. Do your job while wearing a protest sign if you can. There are hundreds of ways, and yes, they will inconvenience you, and I’m sorry about that, I’m sure jews back in Poland 1939 surely also were very inconvenienced by all that was happening.

The nokings protests, until today, have done nothing of visible value. If it built support networks, then wow, awesome, could have used those years and years ago, but better something than nothing. Now that you have those networks, what are you going to do with them, besides more “nothing”?

You call me smug, I call you an American who needs to get off his ass and do something and stop looking at the rest of the world for a saviour

Yes, that actually is possible. You could have the government fund news and journalism directly, but that indeed would invite the government to curate the news. If you have an independent non profit in the middle that has as core mission to fund ALL news and journalism, as long as it is independent and unbiased, then it becomes much harder for the government to control details of the news.

The org, in its turn, can then dictate that all news outlets that receive funding must be factual and unbiased.

I won’t tell people what not to do, I just fucking wish they would do something useful and so far no single american has done anything remotely useful to stop trump. There are small nudges, zingers, a little cute protest here and there and that’s it. You have a fucking pedophile for president that makes people disappear from the streets and you do nothing.

I don’t tell people what they can’t do, I’m telling them to DO SOMETHING USEFUL

That would still be more than you have added

I’m still unsure what you were referring to, though. I know one of her songs, that’s it

Eh, sure, maybe… Just remember that the Q are deadly bored by now.

I’d be Q if I had the ability to slowly forget things so that I won’t end up like them

What you want and need is government funded, yet independent media companies. Basically, government should fund an independent media org that can fund news outlets with a limited set of rules like “Must be as truthful and unbiased as possible”, etc.

Absolutely, and probably a few more countries still

Where is it abused? I’m sure there are countries where this holds true, but there are many European countries where I’ll take public broadcasting a hundred times of anything else

GrapheneOS would be the perfect OS for all phones if it would actually work on a phone that is not a Google Pixel.

Until GrapheneOS is going to have support for other hardware, it will be going nowhere really slow
