Also the idea that having a baby delivered is 500k in services is completely ridiculous. That’s just the number at the top of the bill that no one ever ends up paying

They would still get a lot of that access because Republicans are desperate for validation from the paper of record

Also, who cares if AI companies want it in phones? All that matters is if Apple and Google want it

Not saying we shouldn’t try, but there’s not currently a way to do age verification that doesn’t create severe privacy risks.

Wish there was a way to do this without age verification, which is a privacy nightmare for kids and adults.

From a realist perspective I’d agree that lawmakers likely won’t do anything until major harm has occurred, but we should fight for them to do something now!

Ginni Thomas runs a consulting firm, which accomplishes the same thing as Roberts’ wife’s job.

Uncommitted didn’t even mean you weren’t ultimately going to vote for Biden. It was a way to express dissatisfaction with the campaign and point out that you can’t take the pro-Palestinian vote for granted.

“Apartheid is bad” is an accepted thesis statement for everywhere except Palestine, apparently.

The way so many centrist liberals dismissed Ta-Nehisi Coates’ writing about Palestine as “shallow” because it focused on what it’s like for Palestinians now instead of getting bogged down in history was horrific.

This is why imo extensive prototyping is the way to bring down budgets. Figure out the hardest stuff then instead of trying to build the plane while it’s in the air

AOC agrees! IMO it’s smart to promise to do the things that align with good public health and take on corporate power that RFK Jr. didn’t follow through on. MAHA includes people who used to be on the left. We can win them back by talking about the areas we agree and not compromising on the rest.

He’d probably at least have the self-control to not let his prejudice completely doom his political future.

It’s a fair complaint that living standards are significantly lower than they should be for the richest country in the world, but acting like middle class life is equivalent to poverty discredits the real issue.

The discussion of him as a turncoat is so misguided. I think he always had some very bad views, especially of Palestinians, but he seemed to actually care about working class issues pre-stroke

Though they might hold back because people can selectively subscribe to streamers instead of subscribe on an ongoing basis, which is already increasing

And if Netflix does it al the other major services goes along because they would rather enjoy the benefits than have one competitive advantage over the dominant player in the space - monopsony in action!

Not to mention we don’t even want to completely erase the deficit, a reasonable amount of debt can be good for a country same as for a business

Just cut military spend in half and force them to pass an audit and you’re all the way there. Also increasing business tax, levying fine against corporations big enough to actually change their practices, passing Medicare for All, and fully funding the IRS are all ways to cut costs or raise revenue

Personally I’ve always thought businesses should be taxed for the equivalent of what they’ve been paying for employee insurance. It’s not like they’ll pass off the savings to the workers

It’s rare for the guy to proudly announce that he’d never advocated for anything until a racist was in trouble, usually that’s something we have to find out on our own.

@grubb.wtf The funny thing about calling Helldivers 2 a live service success is that game was in development prior to PlayStation’s live service push, so I’d consider that initiative a complete dud so far.

Which is comical since Obama ran on vibes in 08 - his platform was more conservative than Clinton’s but everyone assumed based on the hope and change message that he’d be more progressive

All Hakeem Jeffries would say about health care is they need to restore the ACA subsidies. Those weren’t enough! The establishment is full of cynics at best and corrupt crooks at worst who want to maintain a system where a cancer diagnosis equals bankruptcy.

The Democratic Party’s only messages revolve around “market solutions” which is no longer enough for Americans living under an ultra predatory form of capitalism. Attacking Republicans is the only card they have
