I would rather have the genuine government hating libertarian Republican shitbags over the school to prison pipeline loving authoritarian Republicans in the same way I would rather be punched than stabbed. Neither is good, the lesser evil isn't to be applauded or wished for, and it's a false dichotomy to suggest that it must be one or the other.

The govt hating libertarians are mostly just the corporate shill austerity hawks who have spent forty years getting us to this point. The few who want to like live like an animal without society vs wanting to be able to buy people and own the world are just sad and dumb.

It occurs to me that we don't really know whats going on.

Information is being suppresed on every level. Militar ranks asked to shut up for "patriotism". Civil ranks asked to shut up or get fired. Experts having their data curated before is released to the public. Policy makers moving the lines to align reality with the official version.

This thread would go 3000% faster if we knew whats really going on just now.

lol at the landlord scum

quote:

He encouraged the others to do the same, as well as consider suggestions published by landlording influencer Brandon Turner at BiggerPockets.com. Turner's five-point plan advises landlords to: have a plan, empathize with tenants, explain that rent is still due, inform them about their options (such as filing unemployment claims or paying with a credit card), and if all else fails to institute an "emergency rent deferral program," allowing tenants to pay whatever they can and agree to repay the rest in installments over several months.

Turner cautioned, however, that tenants shouldn't be told about the program as an option before the landlord is totally sure that they can't come up with full rent.

If and when the Trumps finally leave government, we're going to find that they stripped everything right down to the copper in the walls.

Totally am and I'm familiar with the lovely behavior from cops because I grew up in ATL and have lived most of my life being harassed by them because of my behavior but because I'm a white chick not gotten shot just put in jail. I've yet to hear how we can help people who are in abusive relationships from being beaten to death other than calling the cops or shooting them ourselves. I'm definitely not a cop apologist because they've hosed me and my friends over more times than I can count and killed countless people but you need some help sometimes. I'm just trying to figure out how we can accomplish that without having unregulated chud militias that would be 10 times worse or forcing communities to take matters into their own hands

community defense poo poo

I mean, yeah, it may seem unrealistic or w/e, but better things are possible, however unlikely.

Wondering at which point over the next month or two, when things are really bad, all the other countries just sort of start ignoring/snubbing the bleating coming from the USA gov and just work with the rest of each other instead, as US soft power rapidly depletes and China steps in to help more and more. I feel very bad for the non terrible people living in the USA right now, especially my buds in C-SPAM

"oh hey let's build a scalable system to replace hundreds of thousands of paper documents, get that tested, and get it in place in time to meet the needs of a current health crisis" seems fine to me

as long as you had that thought, like 24 months in advance of a health crisis, immediately funded it and had state departments put together hard requirements, and then did an absolutely fantastic job of building and scale testing something in a relatively tight time frame (of starting 24 months in advance of COVID)


are there any other problems you see here

i mean if we're taking this proposal seriously and entertaining the idea these are important and valid concerns

i basically stopped thinking about it because the typical mindset for dullards like desantis is that they'll hire 4 college kids to Do App with no solid requirements or forethought on what the software does and does not do and then it gets released, doesn't address the problem, fails at what it actually tries to do, shits the bed under actual real world scale, and then the contractors get paid and then go write a primary vote fixing app as their next project
