I agree. Do we really want governments to reliant on private corporations? Can't they use emergency broadcast alerts, make a Mastadon instance and point people to it, stuff life that? I don't even know use FB anymore except for events and the Messenger.

NY had bodies in freezer trucks didn't it? But ya, it was mostly in certain places and sectors.

That's all true, but none of that means anything to a trans person who wants to not get their rights taken away, though.

I'd recommend a Chromebook. They're pretty cheap and have good battery life.

So this is happening? It's 100% going to make landfall and we're getting a hurricane in Southern California?

It's like when Amazon threatened to leave NY when AOC was campaigning for higher minimum wage over there or whatever it was. I forget the exact details, but the point is that it ended up being a bluff and of course they stayed.

Yup been watching Scrubs and while a still funny show a lot of the time, there's still a lot of jokes that make me cringe. I'm sure it's like that for any show in that era.

I also had a friend recommend the Ford Fusion to me. It wasn't online, though.

Can they get Twitter, too? Obstruction of justice or messing with evidence or something like that?

Your words don't match your attitude. You guys constantly berate Ukraine and defend Russia, even when it has similar problems. The only actual solution you have is to have Ukraine give up and surrender sovereignty to Russia. The only place I agree with you is that all Nazis are bad.

And Russia is the one who attacked, that makes it the aggressor. Ukraine wasn't even joining NATO until they made it seem more alluring, and even then their membership is still an open question, so none of that matters. And if NATO did attack Russia, then they would be the aggressor, and I would be arguing against them, because Russia would have the right to defend itself, just like Ukraine does. But it wasn't. They just wanted territory. You guys also seem to just take Russian propaganda as truth, generally taking their reasons as good faith, claiming genocides against Russian speaking people's (even though the President is one) just because they specified the official language or saying some Nazi terrorists are a reason to obliterate the country (even though Russia has some, too, as does the US. It doesn't mean I want someone invading to stop them, destroying my house and shit). It would be like if some terrorists attacked the US and that was used as a reason to obliterate a country, or two. You claim you see the world as it really is, even though Russia didn't have to attack and none of this had to happen. It reminds me of conservatives who are always telling people on the left to open their eyes and see how the world really is.

China, Cuba, Vietnam all allow only one political party. As for suppressing trade unions, there's the Jasic incident in China in 2018, where they tried to organize a union and strike and they fired all of them. Despite being Maoist in nature, they were detained, arrested, beaten, and disappeared by the police. And they generally have low rates of trade unions participation.
