Yep, hard to say.

I think Hunter is maybe a little right, but that would be the bonus. This is mob style tactics, make you guys hurt (go to court and be harassed) if I have to go to court. This is regardless if trump is supposed to be tried or not. This is the stuff we know about, I wonder what’s going on behind the scenes for all of the politicians or government employees daring to try to hold trump accountable.

They should get an instance on mastodon and control everything about it.

quickly downvote it and skip it

He’s saying that’s the engagement.

Lemmy.world, one of the largest instances said it costs around $1500 per month and about $200 to set up, I don’t think it’s expensive. If all of one state’s government puts it on Mastodon, then everyone under that can post as well under that umbrella. This isn’t a huge deal or groundbreaking.

To do what? They have websites they maintain already. There are already companies switching to Mastodon like BBC, www.bbc.com/news/technology-63534240

'She's done letting Ron talk': Casey DeSantis mocked for misleading Iowa caucus comments (www.rawstory.com)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey, who has taken an active role in her husband’s campaign, appeared to urge supporters who don’t live in Iowa to travel there and try to vote in the caucus anyway, saying on Fox News, “We’re asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come from wherever it might be — North Carolina,...

Did they modify that picture or is she using the dated “OK” hand signal to signify she’s a POS

@pelespirit@sh.itjust.works avatar

Hmmm, on Fox News, she says

…because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus.

then during an event in Iowa later on Friday

“that they cannot vote in the caucus process, but they can come and volunteer and they can be a part of it in that way, so you’re seeing people from North Carolina, from South Carolina, from Florida, in particular coming because they feel so strongly about protecting the future of their kids.

One outlet does not equal the other. Is she trying to get these people arrested so they can’t vote at all? Weird concept trying to get your husband elected.

That’s exactly why I pulled that part of the article, I was hoping someone could answer that.

Why do you think that?

pelespirit,
@pelespirit@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s incredibly difficult to have actual codified laws that allow the things you want without also opening up tons of loopholes for corruption.

Why do you think it’s hard to separate the two? One involves receiving money or business perks and the other serves the community.

I don’t have time to watch the video but I will later. It’s never going to be possible to get the money out of politics 100%, but transparency and getting rid of super pacs would go a long way.

RNC moves to stop sponsoring primary debates at the national level (abcnews.go.com)

The Republican National Committee on Friday afternoon said it would pause participation in further Republican presidential primary debates, effectively leaving decisions around future debates up to media organizations and the 2024 Republican presidential candidates themselves....

This is not a both sides thread or issue. Bernie Sanders was on the ticket and he was a serious threat to the DNC.

What about a financially poor 14 year old who was raped? She couldn’t do that on her own. This woman is challenging the system for others.

We are in the actual thread that tells you why there’s a problem, it’s corporations and investment funds buying up all of the available supply. We might be tight on supply if we got rid of all of them doing that, but it wouldn’t be a crisis.

I haven’t bought or sold a house in a long time, hasn’t it gotten way easier since there’s such a demand?

pelespirit,
@pelespirit@sh.itjust.works avatar

I agree that it’s better to own for 95% of the cases, but some of these people talking about renting being best might have been through the '08 crash. With China having their own financial crisis, we could be in a bubble because they invested a lot in US real estate. If your underwater in your mortgage (your mortgage is higher than it’s worth), you do feel like you’re drowning.

I’m not trying to scare anyone, but there is no guarantee that anything stays the same. I also hope people who are buying for the first time understand the different types of loans and they should 99% of the time want a fixed rate.

I think you might be having a math problem.

Corporation Plan

  • Step 1, US has a financial meltdown
  • Step 2, corporations buy up all of the housing at cheap prices, price fix the rentals and use a shit ton of them for airBNBs
  • Step 3, not worry about the empty units or homes because price fixing and airBNBs will fix that
  • Step 4, develop a crowdfunding site so “investors” can get in on the renting/price fixing game
  • Step 5, complain that there isn’t enough housing to get the zoning changed, so they can build “luxury” apartments where they continue to price fix or rent out to tourists/business people because they’re ToTALLy NoT A hoTEl!
  • Step 6, profit, profit, profit

Common Person Plan

  • Step 1, look to buy a home but there’s not enough supply so the prices go up
  • Step 2, try to save but their rent keeps getting raised because it’s being price fixed and there is a lack of supply (sometimes real because of the tourists)
  • Step 3, continue to rent while nervously waiting to try and build up a deposit and there’s less and less supply
  • Step 4, rent, rent, rent further away from the city core

You’re just trying to moral high-ground economic concepts, which isn’t useful for policy solutions.

What moral high ground? It’s easy to fix, make it so corporations can’t own more than a certain amount of units and corporations in general as a percentage of units in a city. If anyone has more than 4 airBNB units, you have to become a hotel. Simple solutions that won’t catch every instance but will make a dent.

Anyone else having issues with getting KCTS 9- PBS on a dtv antenna?

I don’t use cable television but have a current TV with internet and a dtv antenna because why bother. PBS hasn’t worked in forever. I saw a 3 year old post on how shitty the KCTS programming is, could they be not even broadcasting? Usually I can manually find if it’s a low signal, but I can’t even find a signal. It’s...

I had no idea that it’s just a number, but now that you say that it makes complete sense and I’m an idiot, lol.
