Part of the difference now is that before it was the National Security type people that had the information, no the politicians themselves will be able to access it, as well as numerous outside groups able to hack the system. So it is a world of difference even if the internet is compromised on a basic level. Especially now with these computer programs able to sort and make assumptions however unfounded about people.
Holy shit, you did not make a typo, that is real they’re proposing to give him that. Holy shit, or Unholy shit as the case may be
Well, the Tribunate helped curtail be Patricians excesses for 400 plus years. Quite a bit longer than we have as a country.
I think they got their first ones around 500 BC when the plebs did a general strike encamping to a hill.
Then they had another general strike what was it 300 BC ish where they got more tribunes and got some other reforms.
Too long that poor oil has been held down, segregated, just because it is heavy crude with a high sulfur content It suffers rampant bigotry.
The government and taxpayers did not receive a single benefit from Iraq or Afghanistan despite paying for it all.
And yes true to form the CIA used money from the drug trade to pay for Black Ops we can presume.
But that does not mean that our political leaders and their donor Pals did not get oil from Iraq. All gains are privatized and kicked back to the polits.
We would not invade, they would blow shit up, blow up their infrastructure, bomb them. Even they are not stupid enough to do an invasion at this point in time.
What they would do is try to seduce a faction of the army to initiate a coup, maybe in that case we might contribute some troops to a specific action to help. I don’t think these guys are capable enough to pull that off though.
Cold War 2, the fascist boogaloo and the enemy within.
It is hard to appreciate anything the European Union is doing with their chat control.
I do not know if they are also trying to put everyone into the masturbatorbase, for national security purposes many governments now need to know every page you have considered whacking off to.
Also just so happens connecting your likeness and ID to your IP allows them to see everything you do and say online.
For the kids. The kids that will also have everything they do and say recording.
Did elon’s ridiculously high payment of $60 billion or whatever it was go through? And what was that just for one year?
The intrinsic value of the entire company is not more than 10 billion. The stock market is a joke.
It is not limited to the tech Nazis. Is a fairly large group of super rich, but I would add Elon Musk is just beef front clown of thiel and his technofascists. I think some yarvin fellow is the Brain Trust on it.
They want a market free from antitrust enforcement.
Preferably one with barriers to entry for new players.
Luckily for them that is exactly what they have. Or exactly as they have engineered I should say.
It was just decorum putting assets in trusts for prez, modern era laws did restrict other officials to some degree.
In 2016 the Republicans just refused to honor those laws and nobody held them to account, now they are not really bothering to pretend. Open corruption.
The Constitution does forbid emoluments, but that is ignored by our captured (in)justice department.
I am intrigued as to their system of electing two of everything. I think that could help alleviate a lot of our problems. Two attorney generals, to secretaries of Agriculture or state, Etc.
More than anything though I think we should reestablish the Tribunate, vested with the power to veto government actions and offer sanctuary and all that.
Experience in politics is a detraction nowadays. They are all sold out to greater and lesser degrees with a few exceptions like my man bernie but even he backs off some issues.
Jon Stewart 2028!
The people accusing them of being privileged are all ivy league aristocrats.
Hindenburgs.
On Reddit threads about this I volunteered something that I had read about the cage free and other labels being meaningless and a marketing Ploy oftentimes and I got a lot of Engagement by people that knew a lot more than I did that were saying that basically all of those labels are meaningless except for I think the pasture one.
These agricorps are heartless, maximizing revenue is their only concern. As such they have Enlisted the federal and state governments to go after the animal rights activists exposing their abuses of animals that could hurt their profits, working on getting them classified as terrorists as we speak I have read in the intercept.
Everything is going to shit here and almost nobody seems to realize it, not to the degree they should realize it.
We need to organize.
A lot of of the labels on eggs are meaningless as to the welfare of the animals. Cage free eggs are often raised in giant warehouse concentration camps for instance.
Most of these terms are not regulated, I believe the only term that means anything is like pasture raised if I recall, and even that there is a lot of differences as to the welfare of the animals.
If payments out of pocket were reasonable maybe we are charged like a hundred times what everybody elsein the world pays.
Investors like private equity have taken over Health Care and are extracting the life savings of baby boomers for medical care that used to cost a reasonable amount of money.
As I referred to classically, it refers to 2,000 years ago or more. Which for a few centuries they had been subjugated by the Greeks and then Romans, the rulers of which adopted Eastern norms and declared themselves God and ruled as an all-powerful monarch.
