Manchin is probably providing cover for a few corporate Dems. If it wasn't him, it would be one of them, I'm sure. We just really need to get corporate money out of politics.

Honestly I'm not having a great time. Most of the hobby communities are graveyards. I spend a lot less time here because I'm not interested in tech communities at all.

I think it's so you can't get your political rivals arrested to prevent them from running against you. Kinda like Lula in Brazil. I think it makes sense, even if it feels shitty right now. Congress could still do something about it, but good luck getting more than a handful of Republicans to hit their party's self destruct button.

I've been thinking about what my ideal group of companions is, and then trying to fill a role that's not represented by them. Right now I'm thinking maybe Sorcerer.

I'm part timing on both right now, Sync closes down tomorrow and then I'm here full time. We'll see how people trickle in as the various apps close down.
