They should add a rider that reinstates the broadcast ownership rules eliminated in the 1997 Telecommunications Act.

Sears From A Joke Being Torn Down (lemmy.world)

American comedian Ron White frequently tells a story about how his van was damaged in a comedic way by the technicians at a Sears Automotive Center in Savannah, GA. This week, that Sears Automotive Center is being torn down. While the shopping mall that former Sears location is a part of is otherwise doing well, the Sears has...

Another example is Montgomery Ward, who were among the first to do mail order and then pivoted to department stores. You’d think they’d see the advantage of it, but they failed even before Sears.

I don’t think Harris would be any better. And unless Bernie is made president pro tempore I don’t see anyone in the entire line of succession that would be any better on this issue. Hell, I supported and voted for Fetterman and he’s out here calling me a piece of shit for having a problem with genocide.

I’m 42, which makes me one of those stupid Millennial children, and the only reason I’m in the Democratic Party is because otherwise I don’t get to vote in the primaries in my state

ETA: I feel bad for colorblind folks trying to read those graphs of green on orange.

One of the few times I’ve seen my dad cry was when we were touring college. We went to his alma mater and when we walked by the administrative building he started talking about how they took it over when Nixon started bombing Cambodia. He trailed off and his eyes filled with tears. And it wasn’t sadness. It was anger. He was furious at the people who were needlessly throwing away lives.

The department also determined that Russia has breached the CWC’s prohibition on the use of riot control agents as a method of warfare, the statement said.

Super neat they’re allowed to use these against civilians but not soldiers. Please educate me as to why this isn’t abhorrent.

Okay so abhorrent but reasonably abhorrent.

That’s a good name for this timeline: Reasonably Abhorrent.

There would be a group that says he’s not dead, a group that says he is dead and coming back, and a group that says he’s been reincarnated.

And then, in the far future, scientists will wonder why we switch from a lowercase t to an uppercase T.

This is what I’ve been saying: Don’t vote and expect cake. Vote and expect bread at best. Lower your expectations and treat it like paying your taxes and you’ll feel better about it.

I’ve been round and round with the same folks who your post is directed at, and the conclusion I’ve drawn is “our government sucks, this is the best we can do, get used to it.”

American history is littered with horrible actions. It’s not unreasonable to expect us to keep doing it. Our government was written to be undemocratic at the request of slaveholders. Even if we had a card-carrying capital-C Communist™ as president, there are massive mechanisms that would prevent them from achieving fundamental change.

Joe Biden is literally the best we can do. This craphole of a country that shoots children protesting the killing of other children is literally the best we can do.

It’s a lot less stressful to just accept this.

If they don’t want to condone genocide I suggest they just never vote. And also leave the country. Because this is a country built on genocide, and that will ignore genocide if its in their economic or geopolitical interest.

America sucks. Stop thinking it doesn’t and that you have any control and you’ll be less frustrated.

I bet the benefit of free school lunches would also pay for itself. And there’s been studies that show that funding early childhood education has a huge ROI.

But that’s not how things work here.

I remember getting the same crash course after 9/11.

Our voting method is just one of the many myriad problems with how we elect government officials. Even if that was fixed we’d still be ruled by low-population states, and the president can be elected with 20% of the vote.
