Australian government is pretty hamfisted when it comes to this stuff.

They’re too scared of alienating corporations. If you go too hard on them they’ll take you out. Just look at Boeing.

A lot of progressive people also moved out of red states after all of the different nonsense happening in them. We won’t know until the 2030 census if they actually do that accurately unlike the 2020 census.

A lot of abusers homeschool their kids after they get a close call from DCFS because teachers are mandatory reporters.

Please cram another corporate candidate down my thoat daddy 🥺

If that were me I would run as an independent, people love that on a local level. “I’m putting town/county first!” And say I’m going to fix the roads people LOVE talking about how bad the roads are when it comes to local politics.

There’s a lot of fuckery that happened since before and after the election. They fucked with the census to give red states more ec votes. They changed voting rules and redistricted in many states. They got ballots thrown out in certain areas. Yesterday the voting computer system in my (blue) county didn’t work for the first two hours fortunately I voted early. There’s also a lot more nuanced targeted misinformation out there now. People have these ideas in their heads and I have no clue where they came from. I block ads all the time but I imagine places like TikTok can easily manipulate people without anybody around them knowing about it.

Good luck with your local police. They’ll get a federal warrant and gleefully raid your home at 3 am.

The Democrats love him because he invigorates voters in the midterms and the next presidential election.

Was never allowed to play games on ours because it could cause screen burn in.

Not exactly a good business strategy. You can deduct the taxes, insurance, management costs, but you have to amoratize depreciation of the building over 28 years. Not to mention that an empty house is going to start developing problems fairly quickly.

It is super annoying when there’s a really slow driver on the highway. Usually the right lane is pretty clean from people driving on it continuously and the left lane is completely fubar. So it’s safe to go faster in the right lane, but very dangerous to pass using the left lane. I’m talking about when there’s two dry tracks with a little bit of snow between them and lots of salt on the road. Safe to go 40-45mph with no issue, but they want to do 25.

Eventually supply will catch up with demand which will supress rent (if we do something about the price fixing) and it will no longer be a viable investment. They’re probably losing a lot to management costs and capital expenses already.

A lot of boomers are going to die in the next ten years or so. That is the biggest age demographic in the u.s. the population is going to shrink by a lot. That’s why there’s a push to make people have more kids, because otherwise workers and consumers have a lot more power.

At least $3.50

Not a huge savings, but still.

another way of looking at it.

What’s he gonna do? Send his mom to sit on my face?

We don’t need CSAM on Lemmy, thank you.

Stop investing in specific industries.

I just went with the $100 Motorola stylus (it has a built in stylus!) and just pay $4/month with 0% interest so I’m paying much less than $100 over two years. These cheaper phones usually hold up better to abuse than more expensive phones. I had the pixle 5a and the screen died just after two years (a known issue) screens for it are more expensive than $100 right now.
