Pretending that the law matters during a fascist coup is not productive.

Question: We have recently seen that the government can and will revoke green cards at will, why would anybody be interested in this knowing that it offers them at best ephemeral protections.

Streaming services hopping will become more normalized and so streaming services will attempt to lock people in into longer contracts.

This is the whole problem, the government isn't working for people. The media isn't even working for people, look how few people even rely on traditional media these days. The answer can't be more government as usual more traditional media coverage. What we need is grand action. Fight the battle in the streets (not violence) force a prolonged general strike, organized mass boycotts, create a run on the banks, and become generally ungovernable.

This SHOULD have been done to stop the last CR. Democrats had a chance to present a united opposition with both the Senate and the House but threw it away. This is not the ONLY productive thing they could be doing, it's the only legal thing they can do. Democrats are still playing by the rules and following decorum. Americans are angry many seem to be starting to realize they were sold a culture war when what they are actually fighting is a class war. Until the messaging becomes that of a class war Democrats will not be able to capitalize on the anger.

I read the git history changes and while I generally think it's somewhat of a nothing burger for savvy users, it is a scummy move that alienates their core user base at a moment in time where they were best positioned to expand their user base.

You can opt out of the economy at any time, I haven't bought anything besides locally grown food for several weeks. I'm in the process of divesting the money I have in stock into precious metals funds.

Nobody is saying it would solve the problem but it might make me feel a little better
