I’ll believe they were “brought to heel” if I see change.
Doubt.


…remind me of the babe.



This is the first I’ve seen or heard of this kind of reversal on the internet.
… Of course it was on bee haw!
Thanks for following up.
Stay safe out there.


You do!


The power of voo-do!


Thank you.
I probably could have been a little bit more succinct and just said “past is prologue, QED, you are incorrect.”


The babe with the power!


rant: If he can, he should. He needs to focus on outcomes and do what he said he’d do, though, otherwise he can’t and shouldn’t get reelected and will be unable to advocate for what’s good.
One thing I’ve seen the democratic party do is kneecap very important priorities by allowing focus to be diverted. It’s important to be green. It’s important to use union labor. DEI is important. Its all important, but if you’re trying to house he houseless, focus on that and once you’ve found a way to do that, then do it green. Or at least have enough prioritization skill to walk and chew gum, but at least do what you said you’d fucking do!
You absolutely cannot solve every problem at once and if you try, that’s how Republicans win.
So, if you have 2 builders and one can do it greener for the same price, by all means, choose that, but you can’t let it be the dealbreaker that prevents you from haveing even a basic level of success.
A good example of this is the chips act. All of the individual requirements are important and meaningful, but the problem is they have done a lot to prevent the actual thing from getting done. They tried to solve everything at once.
So should he build green? Absolutely! If he can do that, along with the other goals. And should he be DEI? Absolutely! If that doesn’t compromise the goal of housing homeless people. But the problem of the Democratic Party is that it has no fucking focus and it allows ideological priorities to stop them from doing any actual real work so many different times.
The ideology cannot be a binary and success is measured by outcomes.
Not everything is a purity test.

Edit: for clarity and for rant tag.


I might be able to agree with you if they hadn’t already said that it’s basically being misused and I’m talking about the people using it, not some crackpot or tin foil hat person. Also, the case for its necessity and its utility is very flimsy. Looke into snowden. Look into flock cameras. If you can even scratch the surface on those two topics and come back with the same argument… Well, then I just don’t know what to do with you. lol
You can put in whatever safeguard you want, but there will still be people that will misuse it, and they won’t get caught. That’s what’s already been happening with the levels of surveillance that we’ve already had since 2001, and even more so in 2004 with the Patriot Act.
In many ways, it’s already too late and it has been proven that what we have already has not not been handled responsibly.


Democracies require privacy, therefore they are in their most basic mission, anti-democratic.


You remind me of the babe…


If you’re only able to think in terms of quarterly growth figures, you’ll never be the kind of person that plants a tree whose shade you will never live to enjoy.
E: a space
Yet another reason to boycott them.
