There really isn't anyone who can step in when the ultra wealthy are fucking up. It's hard enough for us poors with no power anyway, but Ye has enough money that he can do what he wants.

If he wants help he can afford it, but of he doesn't there's no rock bottom for him.

Doesn't take a Senate majority to send a judge to Cecot

This isn't 99 vs 100 tires is orders of magnitude of. Israel shouldn't be targeting journalists. But there are all sorts of people they shouldn't be targeting. They're bad enough when we tell the truth, let's not lie.

Who would it be, though? The closest I can think of is Jon Stewart. But he doesn't seem to agree with the neoliberal establishment about much.

I love this example because flaming hot Cheetos are super popular outside the Latino market, too. I bet there's not a middle school in the country where kids don't love them.

I'm not sure the Democrats even have ideological leaders.

That's what I intended with sewing distrust. It certainly looks like market manipulation to me as well though.

The trade war appears to be about market manipulation. And sewing distrust of America. By repeatedly flip flopping they can buy and sell and make a killing in the markets. His wealthy allies are in on it and won't care at all.

This is what he was elected to do and it won't hurt him at all with the people who matter.

It's pretty alarming as a citizen of the US as well. But our conservatives are upset over the signal leak and indifferent to the invasion of Greenland, so if we let trump distract is with the signal leak you lose.

[–] pohart@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

He's 100% serious and also using it as a distraction. Both things are true. For some reason everyone cares about the signal leak and only about half of us care about invading Greenland, or rendering immigrants to a slave prison.

Signal is a weakness and Greenland is an attempt at distraction. He fully intends to invade, but distraction is why he's talking about it right now.

Do you have reason to think that? Organizations that use mainframes keep them up-to-date in my experience.
