This would be an example of totally dishonest and irresponsible journalism if it weren't too vague to be called "journalism" and too clumsy to be called "good": Microsoft executives encourage employees to commit felonies... and then they get promoted. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5515429/microsoft-executives-encourage-employees-to-commit-felonies-and-then-they-get-promoted

@RL_Dane @FOSSForce I don't think that's entirely true. The center still holds pretty strong.

  1. An ex-president's lawyer is arguing in front of the U.S. Supreme Court that presidents can assassinate U.S. citizens with full immunity.
  2. Nearly a dozen universities have called the cops on peaceful anti-war protestors, resulting in hundreds of arrests and clear instances of police brutality.
  3. Texas anti-DEI bill has led to firings of dozens of staff at public universities.

If you don't think fascism is a real threat in the United States, I don't know what to say.

I'm kinda on the fence about whether this is a good idea. Probably depends on how it's implemented: Two widow founders launch DayNew, a social platform for people dealing with grief and trauma | TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/23/two-widow-founders-launch-daynew-a-social-platform-dedicated-to-people-dealing-with-grief-and-trauma/

@santiago I think you're sort of getting into my questions, but from a profit motive angle. My first thought was that a platform such as this would probably get people hooked on grieving more than anything else.

Can you sell pardons. Can you sell future pardons. Why isn’t it illegal. Oh yeah, law is for the poors.
