He said the platitudes that needed to be said. Did you watch his remarks? He said a lot without words too.
He’s in a terrible situation. A madman is terrorizing his state, doing everything possible to incite an incident. Walz does not want to have a civil war start in his state. Now, many may disagree with preventing such an incident, and I can understand that, but I also understand the shit sandwich he’s being forced to eat.
I’m angry at the perpetrators not the victims.
I’m late 40’s right now, always assumed social security was a pipe dream so I’ve diligently put away money in 401ks and IRA’s. I no longer believe they will be worth anything much longer.
Was a nice country, for a little while, at least that’s what my parent's generation tells me, I’ve never been here for it.
The his really is the epstein administration, isn’t it.
I have someone like that in my life. To this day they think masking and “forced gene modifications” are a bigger deal than what happening now. I’ve been lectured so many times about how anger at what’s going on is just being political.
The resulting power vacuum would result in something far worse. Our best chance is to revive this dead democracy and fix the shit that allowed this to happen.
I don’t think that’s possible though with this electorate.
Pretty sure they already have been. I’m convinced more money makes you more stupid.
It’s a lot of fun, but not an internet replacement yet. They did just come out with a new dual band that has enough bandwidth to do something useful. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Still very worth setting up. I have a node that runs in my attic, and a few that I can take around with me. I can get good single most anywhere in my neighborhood, and I have enough nodes nearby that I can pretty much communicate with people all over the metro area (I’m in the twin cities).
Well, he’s working on another 340,000,000,000 of them as hard as he can.
It is the way.
++ Came here to say this.
Right, it’s not just capitalism, many systems reward such behavior. But we are in a capitalist society now, that does not work for those reasons. Yes, bad laws and regulations are the problem, but they are there because the unscrupulous set them in favor of themselves.
I’m no fan any ism, they are frameworks that all need careful, strong laws and regulations. Don’t get me wrong, some are better starting points but it takes diligence and an engaged populace to keep them working.
The problem is, normal people got complacent while the malignant ones continued to ruthlessly play the game.
They would lose me, if I had an alternative. In my neighborhood it’s cable or 1mbps DSL. Neighborhoods across the street to the east and west both have nice and cheap fiber but my neighborhood is older than one and less affluent than the other.
