GiddyGap,

I’d recommend that you take a look at how other democracies do it. Especially the economically and socially successful countries in Europe. The US can learn a lot. But to one side of the aisle that’s “radical socialism.”

GiddyGap,

Manila palm (aka Christmas palm) for anyone who might one of those trees at home.

GiddyGap,

I’m gonna go for universal healthcare and affordable college education.

I need to take a break from Lemmy

Hello guys, I need to take a break from Lemmy. Lately, I’ve become attached to it, a part of the community (which is probably good). Unfortunately, it triggers fear of missing out (FOMO) lately for me. Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy has become the most wonderful community on the Internet, but this time, I need a break from the...

GiddyGap,

While you’re off, if you like classic literature, I can recommend Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” to get more in touch with yourself, nature, and the world around you.

GiddyGap,

Unfortunately, the rest of the bunch aren’t much better and in some instances even worse.

'Barbie' makes history with $1 billion at the box office (www.cnn.com)

“Barbie” has answered the billion-dollar question with a resounding “yes.” Barely three weeks into its run, writer-director Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster has raked in an astounding $1.03 billion at the global box office, according to official Warner Bros. estimates. This makes Gerwig the first solo female director with a...

GiddyGap,

And finally imagine you in a place like that.

You don’t even have to imagine. That’s the reality of the United States in 2023 and has been for a long time.

GiddyGap,

As long as there’s a noticable crease in the screen, I’m out. They also need to last more than two years.

GiddyGap,

Definitely. But that’s not the point of the article.

From what I can tell, this is the point:

In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn’t graduated from college.

– His lead over Trump with this once-heavily Democratic constituency is just 16 points (49%–33%).

– In 2020, Biden dominated Trump with these voters, winning by an overwhelming 48-point margin, according to an analysis by the Democratic data firm Catalist.

– Obama won non-white working-class voters by a whopping 67-point margin in 2012.

GiddyGap,

Over the past 30 years, technology has taken extensive leaps forward. Except for printers and printer drivers. Still stuck in 1990.

GiddyGap,

As California goes, so goes the nation. Conservatives don’t like this.

If it wasn’t for the high cost of living, I’d move to California as well. Still hope I’ll make it there some day.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. “It’s, like, incredible.”

GiddyGap,

We don’t know if a president can pardon themselves. Has never been done. Trump would surely try, though.

The fact that we’re even talking about this is completely embarrassing. I’m not sure any other country can really take this country’s democracy serious anymore.

GiddyGap,

It’s truly insane.

And it’s mind boggling to me that there are so many great solutions that have been in use for decades in other developed countries, but the US refuses to take any cues, because that’s “socialism” or whatever. It’s tiresome.

GiddyGap,

It’s easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn’t want. They never tell me what they actually want.

GiddyGap,

And some people will go to extraordinary lengths to defend them.

GiddyGap,

Doesn’t it just make gas more expensive?

Also, how about electric vehicle charging? Do these attendants have to plug the car in for you? Just a matter of time before gasoline cars are obsolete.

GiddyGap,

Wonder how this will work in an electrified world. Especially in NJ.
