  • Private emails show RFK Jr. making false claims about Covid-19 shots, linking vaccines to autism

  • it’s important evidence that will be ignored during his confirmation hearing

    Lmao I wish this wasn't 1000% true

  • Right? How is this even a blip on the radar. Dude has been spouting this and even crazier crap for a good while in podcasts and speeches and stuff. Are we supposed to be shocked when he does it in private emails too???

  • Trump's second term is a 'billionaire feeding frenzy', says AOC

    Jump

  • She's in a tough spot because she dislikes a lot of what the Democratic party is doing and also refuses to even meet with lobbyists let alone take their money. To a ton of everyday people these are very good things but to either of the parties this is an enemy to the party that doesn't have the firepower to win an election. Of course, I would absolutely love to be wrong on this but history (especially recently) is not on her side.

  • Pshhh Putin stays in power cause the people love him. He won with 88% of the vote! And if you're going to sit there and tell me that Russia of all places didn't have a fair and free election, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

  • I work in this space. There's a wide variety of reasons, a company being dumb and greedy is definitely among them but typically just a tiny part of the equation. The biggest thing is certified vendors. The military/government is incredibly strict with who they'll contract with. Which means the supply is incredibly limited on many things, which in turn means that companies will ratchet up prices a crazy amount in part to deal with the goofy standards that the government requires on their goods but also because they know the demand far outweighs the supply.

    There is also the burden of time. The US government drags their feet an INSANE amount on projects. It scales with size as well. The larger the project the slower things move almost every time. It very frequently gets to a point where they need stuff done right now because they waited too long and will pay pretty much any price to do it.

    There is also the fact that the military is operating with a budget chalk full of "fuck you money." In short, money is immaterial. Half the time they don't even look at the price, whatever it costs doesn't matter, just get it done and get it done right.

    My company marks up shit an insane amount and I know for a fact pretty much every other certified vendor is as well. I dunno about 8k% (lol) markup but honestly that doesn't shock me. The prices I've seen are jaw dropping. And they pretty much never get negotiated or rejected.

  • Donald Trump’s racist NYC rally was vile. It was also political suicide

    Jump

  • It's always so interesting (or heartbreakingly depressing) for me to hear this. I have seen that to some extent where I live, although very tepidly. However, when I go visit friends and family in much more red areas I feel like I'm going into bizarro world. People are doubling and tripling down. It's like a weird arms race or something between trump and his sycophants as they desperately try to keep up with each other in terms of bigotry and just overall insanity and/or stupidity. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that, in those areas, they ate this stuff up and asked for seconds.

    It would make me incredibly happy if this was some sort of breaking point and it actually did open some eyes but having been there and seen the countless gigantic trump/Vance flags hanging from the bed of outrageously lifted pickups, I just don't see it.

  • Lmao these folks must have forgot where they are. We don't punish our billionaires here in the great US of A. They're special, amazing, and definitely way too busy to worry about silly little things like laws or prison like us poors.

  • Harris Plan Would Bring Tax Increases for Richest 1% and Cuts for the Bottom 99%

    Jump

  • There's a lot deleted here so I may have missed it but I'm just curious, what would you prefer her to say? Like you are totally right that politicians famously make promises they don't keep but would you prefer her to just say nothing? Or to say the opposite? The other guy has a plan that will increase taxes/costs on everyone but the top 5%. Is that better? Should he also not say anything?

  • I gotta say... I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Kamala but she is a pretty terrific speaker. Granted the bar has been buried underground for a bit now so my reference may be skewed but it is pretty nice to just see someone eloquently speak, be coherent, respectful, be decisive and concise, and actually say meaningful answers to each question. I have a feeling being in a courtroom for so long may have helped. As well as a career in law and government. Almost as if relevant experience is important or something... But I digress.

  • Almost nine gigabytes in size: Windows update 24H2 creates an undeletable cache file

  • This makes no logical sense lol. OP says he's going to commit suicide, his comment gets upvotes, therefore his comment is sarcasm?? Right or wrong this is just an awful way to decide. How others react to something isn't indicative of that thing's original intent... That should be pretty obvious.

  • Bring back 24 hour Walmarts

  • I'm not sure if some random ones are but I travel a good bit and since covid I have not seen a single Walmart open past 11pm. They are one of a TON of businesses that got rid of overnight operations for covid and never brought it back.

  • Goes double for whether or not he's serious. The number of times I've heard something and have had a legitimately hard time telling if he's joking, or exaggerating, or just a complete fucking moron is absolutely crazy. Pretty much every sentence he utters becomes this endless game of trying to figure it out. It seems like his base just kind of randomly picks the option that makes the most sense to them and rolls with it.

  • Letters to the Editor: Your 'protest vote' for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump

    Jump

  • It really does suck. The current voting system not only discourages anything other than a two party system, it basically guarantees it. And then it becomes one of those things where why the hell would one of those two parties, who's perpetually in charge, ever vote to change a system that would allow for another party (or parties) to come into power? It's just gonna be a slog to ever get it fully changed to something like ranked choice. But I'd absolutely love to be proven wrong.
