If Shell stops getting it from the government, they'll just raise prices for us to make up the difference. They won't be hitting their bottom line anytime soon

Wow, something to be said for someone with such a hateful response to an accusation, almost as if they're trying to prevent discussion by labelling any potential questioning of tactics as racist to be "judged harshly by the world". Gaslighting and projecting on full display here.

The tactics lose power when you see and understand them. Spread knowledge.

So standing on a pulpit and telling his passionate ~~terrorists~~ supporters to march to the Capitol building, all while hearing them chant "Hang Mike Pence", isn't direct evidence of his responsibility for the actions of the crowd he enabled?

It probably wasn't their fault and devices are easily hacked. Someone in support of the good cause changed those lights, but it may not have been the owner of the device. It's a bad idea to keep dumb devices connected to the same wifi that connects to the internet, or at least without a lot of security in place.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

China is able to pivot quickly on projects of enormous scale in part due to its political structure. I doubt many western countries would pivot so quickly and drastically for national interests in whatever you call this version of capitalism.

Our Western leaders are also actively letting thousands of people lose their homes and live in parks. This observation isn't as impactful as it should be.

This guy just got more money than his pension would have given him.
