The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn’t work. You couldn’t reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.

I’m not seeing the issue here. It did pass. Politicians aren’t normally the type to take a moral high ground in issues. If there’s money available for your state, you should take it.

Facebook Messenger isn’t E2E encrypted. If they wanted their messages immune to warrants they should have used one of a number of different methods available.

This isn’t socialism this is capitalism the people of the Seminole tribe are essentially receiving dividends. Without the casino, a capitalist machine in the truest for, there is no money to pay the people.

“Facebook turns over…”

After being forced to by a warrant…

Bitcoin dropped in value, but is still very high and actively traded. It’s hardly in the dust bin.

From the title alone you can tell this article is going to be sensationalist because the law doesn’t “ban” water breaks. That’s not even a mistake it is an intentional lie to make it sound worse.

If that is human trafficking then every bus picking up illegals in Texas and taken them to the dozens and dozens of other places is also human trafficking.

It’s still wrong. I’m perfectly happy to consider all aspects of AA, but so long as any part of it stands on determining someone’s admission based on race it will always be racism and I’m not in favor of racism for any reason.

Teams would be very offended if it could afford the spare CPU cycles to read your post.

You mean the non-heavily moderated platforms allow for discussion on topics you care about by people who disagree with you.

Ultimately I agree with the Affirmative Action ruling. The Equal Protections clause doesn’t say, “All racism is bad except some racism for the right reasons, that’s okay.” it just says there is to be no discrimination based on race.

Affirmative Action was racism with good intentions.

This sucks, but malicious compliance has also always been people’s head cannon fantasies. There’s zero chance that most of this situations went down as claimed. Bearing that in mind and with there being Jo karma to white on Lemmy, does it matter if they’re reposts?

The only real reason for every car on the road not to go hybrid is cost and cost isn’t a factor for Lamborghini. Hybrid drivetrains are the perfect answer to the Ice’s gross inefficiencies when at idle or lower speeds.

“This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists”

Are you suggesting that Macron is a centrist? Because I don’t follow.

Our biggest issue is that we have a huge hot water heater that takes up a whole closet. We like to down size. An indoor one would be fine. What are zones?

Maybe it makes less sense to send them to California, but there is a non political angle to sending them to other states. Texas can’t just absorb them all, every state has finite resources, and Texas is extremely taxed, especially the border towns.
