  • If it bursts the world wide economy collapses, because most “wealth” is loans against stock, which are then invested in stocks driving the price up.

    I think we’re past a trillion sunk into the ponzi scheme just in AI stock, but if it goes down banks call in their loans triggering automatic sales of whatever collateral they used.

    Billions and billions being sold automatically regardless of price would cause cascading crashes…

    But if it works…

    Corps can fire the majority of their employees and starving desperate people turn to Mad Max after a few consecutive missed meals.



  • It’s not just this specific issue:

    After Newsom failed to sign the bill in October, he said, “Last year, I vetoed a substantially similar bill, stating that it would limit the ability of health plans to engage in practices that have been shown to ensure appropriate care while limiting unnecessary costs. That is still the case with this bill – despite my call for a more tailored solution. This bill’s expansive coverage mandate, in conjunction with a prohibition on UM, is too far-reaching.”

    Newsome is a neoliberal, and he’ll always put profits over people.

    Never forget as soon as trump took office again, Newsom had Charlie Kirk and Alex Jones on his podcast sucking up to them and saying Dems need to be more like MAGA.

    He didn’t pivot back to anti-maga until maga refused to let him join.

    Newsom isn’t fit to be president, but he’s not fit to hold any other political office either. We can’t afford to waste time with these shit birds


  • does it not then have the potential to water down enough districts to make them swing districts,

    That’s how gerrymandering always works…

    You want to get every district to where you’d barely win, and jam all the extra people who would vote against you into as few districts as possible that they will definitely win.

    The obvious danger is if you gerrymander too much, and a wave shows up, you could potentially lose everything because you no longer have any “safe” districts.

    I’ve been saying since the beginning that we’re better off letting them do all this redistricting ASAP, that way we can start the groundwork to win enough of those close districts to take the whole state government






  • Meanwhile, vehicles for model year 2031 will apparently be $925 cheaper than otherwise.

    That would be if prices were set on what it costs to produce, and not set to maximize profits…

    We see it with EV discounts too, if people will pay 60k for an EV and the government knocks 5k off with a tax credit, they price the EV at 65k and corporations are essentially given tax payer money as a bonus because when the EV rebates go away, they drop the price.









  • Americans don’t recognize the ICC when US military are the defandents…

    The United States signed the 1999 Rome Statute but it never ratified the treaty, taking the position that the International Criminal Court (ICC) lacks fundamental checks and balances.[1] The American Service-Members’ Protection Act of 2002 further limited US involvement with the ICC. The ICC reserves the right of states to prosecute war crimes, and the ICC can only proceed with prosecution of crimes when states do not have willingness or effective and reliable processes to investigate for themselves.

    It’s like with Netenyahu, someone has to comply and arrest them and take them to court, even then it’s debatable if the court would hold them for trial.




  • but I have to say the way you talk, you seem like you yourself has been brainwashed by Far Left Dominating parties in your country, who are brainwahsed into thinking that no one other than them has free press.

    What?

    You think “far left” Americans think America has a free press?

    That’s completely out of touch with reality.

    But I’m always curious about other people’s points of view:

    As the mod of a far right religious and ethnic nationalist community in India, what do you consider “far left”? Is it just the belief that people are equal regardless of ethnicity, religion, or “caste”?

    Would those beliefs be extreme to you?

    What specifically are the “far left” beliefs that you think are so terrible? Because my assumption is your about to complain about far right authoritian governments like Russia and China…

    Quick edit:

    The community

    https://lemmy.world/c/HindutvaTalks@lemmy.ml

    The sidebar:

    This is a community that aims to promote Hindu Heritage and Hindu Nationalism.

    Openly advocating for a religious ethnostate…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva

    Since the mid-2010s, there has been a notable increase in violence motivated by Hindutva ideology, particularly towards Muslims,[217] and includes acts of extremist terroristic violence.[218][219][220] This has principally been perpetrated by or has implicated members, or alleged members, of Hindu nationalist organisations such as the RSS or Abhinav Bharat.[221][222][223] The violence has also been condoned by the BJP politicians and used as an electoral strategy to garner support from the far-right Hindu population

    It’s literally part of the Wikipedia segment of fascism…
