OK, so look, I'm seeing a lot of people who are really, really unhappy with how the current system in the US works.
And you're not wrong. It's bloody awful and has a staggering amount of room for improvement.
The troubling part of this is how many people think that the solution to this is to burn it all to the ground and start over.
Stop and think for a moment about where the power lies right now.
You are deluding yourself if you think that YOU are going to get to define the new system. It is going to be designed and built BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD THE POWER. And it will have none of the protections that keep them from just doing that right now.
If you succeed in burning the existing system to the ground and starting over, what those people will build to replace it will ALMOST CERTAINLY be SO MUCH WORSE that I don't think you can even really imagine it. The people you are so violently opposed to WOULD JUST LOVE to see you burn it all to the ground.
That way, they get to build THEIR utopia on a clean sheet of paper with nothing to hold them back.
On Monday, a lawyer representing [American Airlines] wrote in a filing that the [9-year-old] girl should have been aware that a device [secretly placed by an American Airlines employee] was recording her while she was using the bathroom.
This is just a reminder that the jobs migrant workers are taking are jobs that you don't want to do. Like hand-picking the fruit that ends up in your grocery store. YOUR jobs were taken by corporate boards so that they could send them overseas to countries where labor costs were lower, so that they could take the money they used to pay you and put most of it into their own pockets, so that they could increase their salaries by 1,500% while you got nothing.
These corporations overwhelmingly support the Republican politicians who keep telling you that it's migrants who are taking your jobs, but who refuse to cooperate to "fix the border problem".
Dude. You had $3,000 in student loans. Some of "these kids" graduated from college $70,000 in debt for the same degree you got, now they're earning half as much as you did for a comparable job and they have no expectation of any retirement benefits, and they've been paying on that loan for fifteen years and owe more on it now than they did when they started paying it. They are being ruthlessly exploited by student loan management companies whose entire business model is based upon gouging people who are struggling to pay off their student loans.
Would it fucking KILL YOU to show a little compassion and understanding?
The tech, simply put, works like this: When you create an account for a website or app, your device generates a cryptographic public-private key pair. The site or app backend gets a copy of the public key, and your device keeps hold of the private key; that private key stays private to your gear. When you come to login, your device and the backend authentication system interact using their digital keys to prove you are who you say you are, and you get to login. If you don't have the private key or can't prove you have it, you can't login.
Musk claimed he was the victim of "economic duress" when he agreed to the settlement and that the SEC "weaponized" the deal in order to "muzzle and harass Mr. Musk and Tesla."
Kyle Rittenhouse scored "far below" the required minimum score of 31/99 on the ASVAB military entrance exam and was permanently barred from the USMC. A retired Navy SEAL who tried for over ten months to try to shape him into a semblance of a respectable human being with a future ahead of him stated that Rittenhouse just pissed it away.
“It’s been an amazing year for the world’s richest people, with more billionaires around the world than ever before,” said Chase Peterson-Withorn, Forbes’ wealth editor. “A record-breaking 14 centibillionaires [$100bn] have 12-figure fortunes. Even during times of financial uncertainty for many, the super-rich continue to thrive.”
Yeah. The part you're deliberately not saying is that THEY'RE DOING IT AT EVERYONE ELSE'S EXPENSE.
Can you even imagine how much could be DONE with 14.2 trillion dollars? If it WASN'T all just sitting in billionaires' investment portfolios?
