That would be because they’re lying. Not the guy in the meme. Companies are constantly saying they’re short of workers without actually hiring more. There’s several reasons for it, but mostly it’s to influence regulation on training and safety standards. In teachers it’s a political preference for private schools at the expense of the normal school system.

We produce enough nurses, pilots, and teachers. But the shortage myth justifies running skeleton crews, treating them badly, and hand waives high turnover.

It’s any app they can point to as being controlled. It does not matter where it is based. As an example they could allege that one of the owners of Discord has Russian contacts and is therefore controlled by a foreign adversary. (He was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine; where contact between Russians and Ukrainians wasn’t uncommon before the current war.)

Congress can request a briefing but if they want to prevent a fire sale they have to pass an entirely new bill amending the law.

And this article is so transparently an ad for Red Note it’s ridiculous.

They could listen to a Joe Rogan podcast the exact same way. They’re on public transport, what the fuck else are they going to do but look at their phone or listen to something with headphones?

Where’s the evidence then?

The law is broad enough they could target Discord.

Instructions unclear, what PSI/KPA should I have the baby at before the road trip?

Chickenie Power!

You mean the decades their life expectancy actually grew? Japan showed that it can be managed. That it’s not this wild beast wall street would have you believe it is.

That is fascinating and yeah I’ll probably bookmark that.

I didn’t see it say that anywhere and there’s already conspiracy theories about the Democrats not helping. So I figured the extra knowledge couldn’t hurt.

Oh I already heard a candidate! Nordlandia.

Haha but that name came from history.

Get a looter to say he was encouraged by Musk. Charge Musk with a felony criminal conspiracy charge.

Oh we’ll probably add an ia ending on a few of those and throw some extra vowels in for no reason at all. (Looking at you Bible Belt)

America is now called Greater Vinland.

English is considered one of the hardest languages to learn because we have rules. And then we don’t use them. It doesn’t help that it’s actually something like a 5 language mash up.

Too late English already dragged Danish into the alley. We’re getting some new words! Woooooooo!

Just to add, there are far more than 2 planes in the area now. The Canadians sent at least one, and the US military surged it’s entire aerial firefighting fleet to Los Angeles. So there’s something like 3 water bombers, 10 helicopter water scoops, and several fire retardant bombers.

Onion is my favorite expression of these differences. It’s completely different between a stew, fresh, pan fried, grilled, or reduced with sugar.
