For sure. I just wonder why no one could see this coming. I get Biden is old as shit and ignorant af, but isn’t there supposed to be a team informing him on shit? I mean, guess the same goes for all the congress(wo)men that supported such a stupid, irrational policy
What absolutely atrocious politics
lol. I don’t think I’d ever
It’d need to be a really pretty girl to get me in to that. lol
Seriously tho… The Finals
Me but just playing free to play games. lol
I can’t give up the AAA quality. Hell I want a more powerful GPU just to push it
Fuck yeah! Gonna listen to some Unknown Mortal Orchestra rn!
You and what army?
I mean, like are you from Iran another country likely to attack them or something? Who do you see attacking Israel, in that scenario
I didn’t downvote you, btw. Just wondering which one of us is more confused here. lol. No hate
If we’re just pulling shit out of our ass, maybe this will encourage conspiracy nuts to actually learn about political organizing and the rich history of well-documented movements from the last 100+ yrs that have resulted in real change/benefits for the working class
Hell, maybe people will even start reading more! Like, stuff written by authors and shit. lol. Now, that’d be some crazy. lol. I wonder if Musk “and his friends” could ever pull that one off - getting Americans to read/learn - even with their infinite money hacks
Crazy stuff. Now, hurry up and pass that shit! You’re hoggin it
This absolutely the right lesson to learn here. Who cares if you can’t discuss it (not literally)? We already know the American people agree. We now need to take the next step to unify the working class and organize so we can coordinate our efforts and exercise actual political power
You replied to an accelerationist. Don’t threaten them with a good time. lol …or try to teach them; they’re likely a reactionary, too
She’s such a badass!
You’d think there’d be tons of memes crediting her with fixing the McDonald’s ice cream machines since she helped make it so franchises can fix their own machines (i.e. right to repair)
Yo, if anyone’s interested, Hasanabi just posted a great video on YouTube interviewing Lina Kahn, the FTC commissioner. Very timely and relevant and super informative

Tune out the noise!

I get what you’re saying, there’s been way too much consolidation in way too many industries.
That said, there have been quite a few mergers that have been blocked in the last 4ish years or so, to my surprise and pleasure. Albertsons-Kroger is the recent big one that in the news. JetBlue + Spirit were also blocked, and so was Penguin Random House + Simon & Schuster. Apparently, UnitedHealth wanted to merge with another insurance company and that was blocked as well
Granted, it’s worth remembering: any examples of things they don’t like will always be blown out of proportion, by the right, and made to seem as though the sky is falling.
Found this quote, which seems legit, tho the website seems a bit sketchy.
This year, regulatory bodies, particularly the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), have been actively scrutinizing merger deals to maintain market competition. Albertsons’ $25 billion merger with Kroger was halted, underscoring the FTC’s commitment to prevent monopolistic behaviors. Similarly, JetBlue and Spirit Airlines pulled back their $3.8 billion deal following a judicial decision highlighting anti-competitive issues. In the luxury sector, Tapestry’s attempt to acquire Capri was nixed by a court decision driven by an FTC lawsuit. Meanwhile, Avangrid’s acquisition of PNM Resources hit a dead end without regulatory approval, and UnitedHealth Group’s planned $3.3 billion takeover of Amedisys is facing DOJ lawsuits over competition concerns in home health services.

Now this is my kinda brainrot; nostalgic
Seriously! When I think of not getting scammed I immediately think of all my crypto
lol. Jk. I for sure don’t understand it, tho I can see it’s value, personally
Missourians need to riot
Right on! Someone had to do it
Sure but what’s their excuse? Is everyone simply a huge Meta investor? That’d be my best guess for how multiple people try to achieve something like this without looking at the consequences - personal gain. But I’m still inclined to believe these politicians/surrogates want to do a decent job and/or get re-elected
