It was this coalition of big tech companies that blocked Texas SB2420 from going into effect on Jan 1 of this year.

Believe me my dude if they wanted your birthdate they would have gotten it before. Or more likely they already have it without this.

Folks, this is coming from your government. The phone makers want nothing to do with it and are actively fighting it in court as best they can. Switching between phone makers will not help, and is not the right place to put your energy. Address your concerns to your governments.

Yes every single iPhone owner also bought those 🙄

So swiftness is mentioned twice. I guess it must be pretty important? But if you asked 100 women to speak one adjective they do NOT want in a man, you would hear the word “quick.”

Thank you. I am interested to learn more.

“Not learning lessons” is a pretty mild way to put it.

The only way it isn’t pure evil is if we allow that the alcoholic is not in control of their actions. And if we allow that, they cannot be trusted to drive, or really to even have their freedom. They are 5150, plain and simple.

I’m getting a little lost - you said both “social democracy” and “democratic socialism” there. I just want to be sure that was intentional? I’m still a little unclear what the better system’s rules are. I don’t mean to be ungrateful for the explanation, but this section in particular didn’t clear anything up for me:

people can still get rich, own companies, and buy jet skis, but they can't take a successful company that hundreds of people have helped build and centred their lives around and hand control of it to their unqualified, arrogant, spoiled children to run into the ground

So… okay, but how is this codified in law? No inheriting?

Any reason not to just throw out these terms and talk about it as capitalism vs communism?

Thank you for breaking this down. Would it be fair to say that social democracy on a national scale can still be imperialist but social democracy on a global scale would actually be a good thing? I guess when I see social democracy equated with fascism it leaves me wondering what is actually the better path.

Of course better transit is a better solution, but at least while America is waiting for that, ride-hailing services can help fill a gap. Expensive? I have little sympathy for people who drove drunk on that count.

Never knew anyone who had one, but a friend of mine dated a guy who did. He would beg her to breathe into it for him.
