The thing about that is if all this is for is research then I could have some hope that they’d actually stop.
If someone thinks there’s profit to be made and that’s what is driving the research then it’s never going to stop unless they go bankrupt or it proves to be worthless… What happens to the world at large doesn’t matter one bit to people chasing profit :(
Jesus fucking Christ… So not only are they parasites, but they’re the kind of parasites that kill the host and occupy the body for their own purpose…
To call them scum feels way too tepid.
Absolutely, not arguing about any of that just wanted to point out where I thought the focus was on that one part.
“Trump has said that he intends on making them work and when the day is over they should reflect on their actions, he wishes for them to concentrate on what it means to break the law.”
“No one call it this, never in history, so I said why don’t we call them Concentration Camps? They concentrate on the bad things they do and they Work. No one calls it this, why not? Work Camp, Concentration Camp. It will be a gas! Great stuff. Time said I’m the Best Person In The World. Concentration Camps make America great again!”
moreover the idea that Marxists have never achieved change ignores the existence of the USSR, Cuba, PRC, Vietnam, Laos, and so forth
I think they meant that “we” are the target of the meme as the virgin Marxists not successful revolutions of the past.
Corporate stance on the election:
The “best” part, UHC is the largest of the healthcare deniers making massive profits and bad luck Brian got paid the least of all the CEOs of the top 10 healthcare deniers.
Getting screwed by the company that screws the most people. Poetic.
It’s funny because in my initial writing of my comment I actually wrote pesos instead of yen but I wasn’t sure how close the peso was to the dollar so I went with yen lol
…ummmmmmm am I looking at a $13,000 phone!?
That better be in yen or something JFC. Who’s their market Saudi princes?!
JFC…
“Why are you acting like the lying liberals say you act!? I don’t believe you act the way you really do because they say you do! Stop being you, you’re making the liberals look correct!”
I think that’s the gist of it. Apple is so hell bent on proprietary everything and keeping their hardware locked that there isn’t all that much you can tinker with when using a Mac. Aside from the high price of apple products, the customizability of PCs (and the access to games) are what kept me on windows.
I was just recently informed of a podcast called “blowback” the other day on Lemmy and their first season actually goes into Iraq and the lead up to it. It’s a very good podcast for anyone interested in the topic of American intervention in other countries. Very well produced for the subject matter.
Long story short there was nothing that was going to stop us from going after Iraq. “We” wanted that for a long time and it’s not just a simple “cuz oil” thing.
The trajectory we’re headed we’re going to need it or something like it.
With improvements to AI and physical automation there will be a metric fuckton of people out of employment completely and there are only so many jobs for the rebuttal of “the people will still need to maintain the robots and check the AI”
Unfortunately with our concept of ownership there will be massive resistance to it as “I own the machines that make the products/increase productivity, why should you get anything from my profit?” They’re going to have to relearn the lesson Ford learned about “well paid employees are your customers” the hard way.
As it stands, at least in America, “The Century Of The Self” has lead to a complete atomization of society, every business is entirely independent from society, every individual is separate from society, so each individual owner won’t see the need for a well paid workforce/population at the owners “expense” actually being beneficial to their own existence. They’ll think “someone else” should deal with that issue, or worse “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” :/
I just love that the headline kind of implies they polled children too.
This will only help the oil barron supporting, billionaire loving, Reich wing. Now they’ll get to point to the source as a reason to ignore it or “prove” the opposite is actually true because China.
Redistribution of tax dollars to billionaires. It’s not about results.
After the pardon, on Fox news:
“I only plead guilty to save myself and my poor innocent children that the Demonrats held hostage in the basement of the white house. It’s really all true, now that Our Lord and Savior King God Emperor Trump saved me I can resume telling the Real Truth!©®”
