If there's anything I know it's Republicans and Democrats will unify to thwart any progressive momentum and then turn back on each other when the 'threat' is done with. The media will eat the slop up and more morons will believe that Nazi Germany actually was good.

The balance is exactly where it's been at. You could certainly make the case they had two majorities when they didn't bother to give their own employer money.

Well, if Nintendo isn't a competitor to Microsoft then there's no issue. Right?

We evolved in an environment without heating, plumbing, electricity, and modern medicine. Are you suggesting that we get rid of all that too or just manufactured meat?

"Could be" is journo speak for they don't want to get sued. That's why they use wishy-washy milquetoast language for everything.

Anyone still using Twitter is too stupid to understand what's going on.

The issue is Republicans hate people and liberals want the privilege without sacrificing anything. You can't fix that.

The person you're looking for is Joe Lieberman. He took that 60th vote away which kept the filibuster going.

Congratulations!

AI/LLM, etc., will be used to extract further wealth from labor and give it to wealth owners. We see this right now with the Hollywood strikes, we see it with how organizations are laying off staff and leaning into the LLM craze. This will only end poorly for us poors.

Of course, some of those things are already there in non-USA countries. The US just needs to join the rest of the civilized world.

How can that be? The United States is the only civilized country in the world. Everywhere else is a dirty socialist hellhole. /s

Fully remote is the way of the future, in tech anyway. Use the money you saved on not renting office space to fly teams to the same area for a week or so a few times a year, there’s definite value in meeting, working together in person and going out for a beer afterwards

But make it optional and don't penalize folks for not showing up. The last thing I want to do is meet up with my coworkers and go for drinks especially given the fact that I do not drink alcohol nor enjoy social outings in general.

This won't do what you want. We'd still have unlimited money in politics, we'd still have hyper powerful lobbyist influence, and we'd have far more ignorant Congress folks for both to corrupt. Term limits are a non-starter until we get the other issues squared away and Democrats in the House passed massive election bills last session. Unfortunately, the Senate is broken by Mitch so that's fun.
