America in a nutshell. Native Americans, slaves, free black people, Asian migrants, poor people, laborers in mines and factories ( triangle fire), Mexican migrants, soldiers (basically poor people)…
Everyone but the wealthy white men. Several orders of magnitude more police resources are being used to solve this 1 gun violence death, than the other hundreds of murders in NYC this year.
Til next year when things cool down. These a holes love to pull a fast one. The money seems a little greener if they fool you into thinking you’re not getting fucked.
Yeah this guy probably had a LinkedIn page bragging about how much he’s done, so he can get paid the most to do it.
He almost certainly publicly touted his efforts (if not on LinkedIn, another way) to deny people healthcare, so he could make more money. This is not a way to earn my empathy when it backfires.
Because it has inelastic demand, meaning I’m going to pay for it even if the cost is very high.
That’s why is run for profit. Its also why it shouldn’t be, but certainly why it is.
Asking for a friend…
The latter if I had to guess. This is some French revolution type of radicalization. The wealthy are radicalizing their victims. Hard to empathize.
“One of the reasons that she has remained so active in this particular field is because she has seen what it does to people when they can’t get insurance to cover the healthcare they need."
Sadists.
Well, I guess we’ll have to build more weapons… you’ve twisted my arm.
I watched this earlier, great coverage!
Not a lot of people trying to defend consumers in media right now. Glad they’re doing something about it.
No, I’m not suggesting anyone live in fear.
I work in tech, and have interviewed with companies that have texas offices. I won’t accept an offer if they expect I’ll relocate there.
If someone were to ask me if they should buy a car, or a house, or change careers, or go back to school, or make an life decision of any consequence, I’d say it’s worth considering project 2025 and the news since the election.
Some form of tariffs will probably happen. It’s worth considering how you might mitigate or avoid the cost if it’s substantial for you. This isn’t rocket science.
Tell that to the women in texas.
Ok.
On my phone, I can use Google sheets (or excel or whatever) and get all the benefits, except for the automatic recording. For $5/mo in perpetuity?
I’m not anti app. I don’t understand why someone would pay this much for this function.
The internet allows us to communicate quickly over distances we couldn’t otherwise without a long time between messages. What does this app do that I can’t do cheaper and easier with pencil and paper?
I’m not opposed to technology, but I’m not paying for it if there’s no benefit.
Why Alexa?
Other than that, a $1 notepad and a pencil will do usage tracking just fine for years. You can’t take a trip unless you’re already sitting in the car where you can see and write down the info.
No, they didn’t. The police, defense contractors, and private prisons won. The drugs are doing their job just fine.
Foss struggles to get dev time. If everything was foss, we could coordinate easier.
The culture of America is rooted in bigoted populism. You know what the big political issue of the 1850s was? 1870’s? 1920’s? 1960’s?
It’s the aftermath of the 60s that kept the creeps quiet for awhile, but we’re regressing to the mean now. This is the real America for better or worse. Always has been.
Ha! Lemme tell you bout a guy that has a copy of Hitlers speeches on his night stand…
YouTube playing, scrolling lemmy, and playing cities skylines fixing traffic.
I feel called out.
This is the kind of thing DOGE will target. Any friction in the gov that slows the greed must go.
