It doesn’t matter. It will be too late. She’s just trying to delay.

Ah yes. Louisiana, the beacon of education, progress, and economic success. Let us follow their lead to prosperity and health.
I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.
I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).
Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.
350,000 people in the U.S. died of COVID in 2020. For reference, 25,000 died of the flu in 2019. Out of nowhere, Covid became the third leading cause of death.
Any respectable news source tends to report on things like that.
Those saying that Covid was “just the flu,” or “not a big deal,” is delusional.
Blame Reagan. Turns out that getting rid of that pesky government oversight did allow corporations to thrive… At the cost of consumers. It’s been a long slide, but the pandemic showed companies just how much they can get away with.
There’s like 3 major airlines, 3 cell providers, and 10 companies that make most of your groceries. Profits are up, and so are prices. Competition is all but dead. To quote Highlander, “There can be only one.”
So, this guy had a gun on him, and saw someone else with a gun… And thought person with a gun, danger!?
What an asshole.
A speeding ticket for like .0000000000001% of your daily income.
Nothing snapped. He has always been a piece of shit. He’s been a liar, cheat, rapist, fraud, moron, and a piss poor businessman his entire life. There are no shortage of stories backed by very real evidence. Much of it is on video. The difference is that now it’s out in the open, and for some reason that appeals to fellow idiots and racists.
The real story is how broken our education and legal systems are. I knew there were problems, but it’s so much worse than I could have imagined.
He probably sold it for $30 million
That is a lot of money for a state.
In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.
This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.
Increase the millionaire tax.
How about banning them entirely.
I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.
He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 “strikes” toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That’s right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.
Not exactly “Full self driving,” and Tesla doesn’t exactly look like they’ve been working on it
I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.
That’s what I don’t understand. Don’t like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He’s an incoherent idiot.
Biden has done much better than I would have guessed, especially considering how fucked everything was when he took office. He’s not a star candidate and I have plenty of criticism, but Biden has done infinitely better than the last 5 Republican presidents.
That said, even if I thought Biden was amazing, he’s basically a walking ghoul at this point. The president (and supreme court justices) should be sharp, at the peak of their game, not in their last dwindling years. I’ll still vote Biden, because the alternative is one of the dumbest and biggest pieces of shit in American history. Maybe some day we’ll have better choices.
Dude is a lying, treasonous, rapist, but per snopes he surprisingly has attended all of his children’s graduation ceremonies.
"customers’ real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are.”
All of them did it. That either means collusion or they’re all evil and bold enough to do this despite the risk. Either way, this was not an accidental slip up or a hack. Jail time and a crippling fine is the solution. This is neither.
Jesus. Why can’t they make whistle blowers anonymous?
I mean, the rich probably benefit either way… But I’ve definitely seen times get scarier for the rest of us. So…I care.
Well that’s terrifying… I might watch the show if it ever comes out
There’s been debate about changing the size of the supreme court for a long time. The problem is that if one party does it, the next one can do the same to stack in their favor. That said, just 9 members that are permanent installed with no oversight makes them arguably the most powerful body in the nation. Just one crooked member can be devastating.
I don’t have a perfect solution, but I’d start with something more like 21 members, strict oversight into their finances, a third party that mandates recusal, and a shelf life.
The damage of these 6-3 decisions could last decades or worse. They certainly don’t represent the people that are much closer to 50/50 conservative/liberal than 2/3 extremely conservative.
