What we’re seeing now is one of Gandhi’s dangers of the modern world: commerce without morality. Blame Milton Friedman.
This is true for EVERY industry. Ever wonder why there’s not much local investigative journalism anymore? Because news people don’t run news stations. Wonder why it’s mostly sequels in video games and movies? Because game designers and directors/writers don’t run those studios. Wonder why medicine costs so much? Or why food sizes are shrinking? Or …..
The answer is unfettered capitalism.
Which is why we need an independent autopsy.
“They were all Hamas”
That’s exactly my point. If it wasn’t Manchin and Sinema it would have been someone else. You see stuff like this all the time in DC, where a party “supports” a bill but a couple defectors oppose it and it fails. It might have been those 2 this past time, but it will be another couple next time and we’ll say things like “oh, they’re in a purple state we have to just deal with it if we want to stay in power.” But what’s the point of “maintaining power” if dems don’t do anything with it? We KNEW an overturn of Roe was coming in 2020. What did Dems do? Nothing.
I’ve seen this exact play SO MANY TIMES that I know it when I see it. Hell, Biden WAS the Manchin in the Senate for a while, and now he’s supposedly a flaming liberal.
My point is, it’s often that there’s a group of people who will vote for a bill because of “optics”. Most people in the room know if a bill will succeed or fail before it comes up for a vote because it’s been decided behind closed doors before the vote is called.
You’re wrong too. It’s the Bearenstain Bares, because it was a book about nudists.
So Facebook bought this tech just after having by massive issues in the 2020 elections, and they remove it just before the 2024 elections. Not suspicious timing at all.
He has always been right wing. People forget that he was picked as a VP for Obama because Obama seemed “too radical” to the DNC. He was at best a centrist, at worst a 1990s centrist, which is to say, a Republican. All you have to do is look at his voting record.
It skews “non-Western”, which doesn’t work well on a chart like this.
