If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • Yes, it's called harm reduction. You would do well to adopt it as well if you want others' help. You wouldn't help you if you weren't you, so have the day you advocate for, hopefully the experience is humbling for you.

  • Good. Now stop spreading bullshit on the internet and you'll approach the realm of being worth interacting with.

  • A New Report Offers a Stark Warning to Centrists. An intensive research project in France finds the far right on the march, with voters viewing the political center as vapid and discredited.

  • Vapid is a great way to describe centrists.

  • Jackson is not how you describe him. He is endorsed by DSA and Bernie as well. If Schumer and the DNC had it their way they'd have a rabid zionist up there libsplaining why the jewish identity trumps all civil rights of all arabs because the holocaust or some stupid shit, even though his version of Jewish identity is a racist caricature which just boils down to a jewish supremacist zionazi.

  • Seems more appropriate to search the agents' phones for evidence of domestic terrorism.

  • Relocation of billionaires is a good thing if nothing else to kill their credibility that they in any way shape or form give a fuck about this country. Secondarily it also makes them easier to sanction.

  • Pentagon Slashed Civilian Harm Reduction Staff and Is Instead Using AI

    Jump

  • AI companies make it very clear that any actions or words that are repurposed are solely at the liability of the user, and yet the entire federal government is very comfortable with blaming AI. This makes a good precedence for removing liability protection and killing AI in its tracks.

    There's two possibilities and both are advantageous. One is that AI companies are responsible for the words they spit out. The other is that pentagon higher ups can much more easily be held accountable than lower levels because the decisions to push AI are going to be highly evident through regular communications. This will make it much easier to purge the military back to a moderately functional state.

  • Doug Ford is not a good person, but he is highly effective at attacking Trump and rallying Canada in a way that isn't patronizing. I was honestly surprised they didn't force him to run against Carney instead of the hopeless and corrupt loser Poilievre.

  • Federal Agents Were Told F.B.I. Will No Longer Investigate ICE Confrontations

    Jump

  • Coupled with the local resources drain is the legal drain when ICE's budget is used to fight every single charge and impose maximum delay of justice. That much money can inflict a lot of damage on judge's time, the local attorney's time, and result in temporary rulings that have a silencing effect. They cannot hire enough people to spend all the money they received, so they're draining it via corruption, contracts they don't need, bribing local police units, and legal representation.

  • On the one hand, states do need a kick in the ass to remind them that arresting federal agents for wrongdoing is in fact a good thing. On the other, cops are pretty bad at policing their own internally, let alone other units. Even if they're competent in their attempts to maintain a presence, it will be a massive drain on local resources. I feel like any police presence will need to come with full support of a states attorney general to recoup money spent from fed.

  • John Fetterman is threatening to leave the Democratic Party. I say good riddance.

    Jump

  • The only way to befriend him is unlimited money and cruelty. This is why he's fully in the pocket of Israel. Since those are his interests, maybe giving him unlimited civil liability and more bullying may move the needle. Being pro-genocide shouldn't be the easy position to take anywhere. More ridicule of him on the streets should help.

  • Troy Jackson jumps out to big lead in race to replace Graham Platner in Maine

    Jump

  • He is the most logical pick to replace Platner and the DNC would have preferred multiple other people before Jackson. I think it's the best shot around so it's weird why any leftist would have an issue with the pick.

    It's interesting though that a life in politics and a life outside politics both tend to come with baggage of different sorts. Bernie being the main exception among people who largely got on board with gay rights in the 90s or early 2000s. Bernie was always on board.

  • It really likes this phrase

    Jump

  • Not really something smart so much as something consistent. I think there are far too many people with no introspection on their harmful views as it is, and AI confirming their biases is inherently dangerous. Especially because the default tone they chose for every model appears to be picked to speak directly to this specific type of person in the exact way it shouldn't.

  • GameStop CEO Says Games Are "Irrelevant" To Company Revenue

    Jump

  • Serious as viewed from GameStop's perspective, and maybe even just one man at the top. eBay has already said their offer is not remotely attractive to them. I think their current CEO unfortunately thinks the only way to run a business is to create controversy. I hope they didn't take the wrong lesson from the Gamestop stock rally, but it seems at least one person did.
