The Oldest Man posted:They will when the propaganda infrastructure stops working and not a moment sooner than that day Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:We've got an entire major broadcast network whose entire scripted line-up is hours of cop / authority dick-sucking every night Propaganda only works if you can watch it. If you're on the street because rent went up 30% and your jobs laid you off to make record profits, you don't have a TV to mainline this poo poo anymore. You can watch it on your phone I guess, but good luck paying for the data. Material conditions like living in a tent make poo poo just hit differently.

Mr Hootington posted:Why is the government trying to kill this bank? This is the polar opposite extreme response. I think it's because they think other banks are on the brink of blowing up too and they're worried the banks will just let it happen because the government will bail them out. So they make an example of FRB and make it clear that other banks will not be rescued, so get their finances in order pronto. Or, at least, that's my guess. Who knows what the gently caress's going on.

Mr Hootington posted:Why is the government trying to kill this bank? This is the polar opposite extreme response. it’s a boring small commiefornia bank that doesn’t have rich donors who are lobbying in their behalf and it’s election season so dems think it’s be bad to save a commiefornia bank after already bailing out SVB (which has many many dnc donors)

I hope this is their plan, but it backfires and people seeing the government letting banks fail causes a o Panic.

Even the dumber apes are noticing that the accounts showing up out of nowhere to hype a dying stock suddenly delete everything and vanish once the exit liquidity is secured.

Mr Hootington posted:The city i live in had to pass laws making it illegal for trains to sit at crossings within the city for more than an hour after 3 trains sat at 3 different crossings for half a day causing half the city to be cut off from the other half. "we were here first" and "interstate commerce clause" will get us an 8-1 SCOTUS decision or better so would you like to settle these tickets by paying our attorney's fees, is what the railroads will say to any municipality that tries this

No matter where you go outside of the US, people in other countries will go out of their way to help you out if they see you with kids. We have been waved past security lines, moved to the front of lines, etc whenever we’re out with our kids. In the US no one gives a gently caress if you have kids nd they’ll just complain and/or treat you like poo poo. Garbage country and society.

Paradoxish posted:There's basically no pathway to get EVs into the hands of most people within the next decade without a program that would need to make cash for clunkers look quaint by comparison. It's trivially easy to keep even lovely cars running well beyond 200k miles at this point, and the absurd cost of new cars (and used cars lmao) is already starting to make expensive jobs like transmission or engine rebuilds a lot more attractive. Man gently caress getting "EVs into the hands of most people" within the next decade or any other time--that would require making a practical and affordable car with real compromises on range, performance, and size. To hell with that! Let's just say we're going to put a billion shabjillion EVs on the road by whatever date is required to meet some "climate goals", and then get subsidized to make expensive bullshit for rich people. Now we're cookin!

this was me for a year and a half in Alabama when I was 9 - we lived on one side of tracks that ran parallel to the road for a half mile before and my school was on the other side another half mile down. that road hopped over the tracks at the end of the stretch and about seven times in that year and a half a train completely obliterated a car or truck. five of those times in the afternoon as school let out, so I had to climb over the train to get home or sit around for however many hours it took to clean up all the debris and body parts

Mr Hootington posted:Why is the government trying to kill this bank? This is the polar opposite extreme response. Remember '08? They bailed out Bear-Stearns, and then the next time they got all  about bailing someone out, and so we had Lehman Brothers.We're re-running that extremely successful playbook! At least, I think it was successful. Now, to take a big sip of my drink and look up historical economic data starting shortly after the Lehman Brothers collapse...

Teabag Dome Scandal posted:https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/where-wa-schoolchildren-walk-next-to-busy-traffic/ i have kids and dogs and I'm sympathetic to the dog owners on this one. They've been slowly excluded from everywhere else and kids drop poison entirely by accident because kids are kids. when the two competing interests here are "dog owners" or "ruthless corporations making billions in profit every month and smug in their ownership of the federal government" I'm not gonna side with the rail industry and take a park away from dogs.

Morbus posted:Man gently caress getting "EVs into the hands of most people" within the next decade or any other time--that would require making a practical and affordable car with real compromises on range, performance, and size. To hell with that! Funnily enough I was just talking about this with some work mates over lunch. How second hand cars are really expensive these days, 7% interest etc. Then I pointed out that in theory all new petrol cars are going to be banned in the UK from 2030 and absolutely shoot second hand prices through the roof again. Essentially the entire table exploded with laughter about how that was physically impossible and would cause literal riots. Anyone who stops to think for more than 30 seconds about replacing all IC vehicles in the near term can see that it's just laughably unworkable with the current political climate. You just have to look at the reaction to stuff like the Just Stop Oil slow walking protests https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/just-stop-oil-begin-day-two-slow-walking-protests-london/.
