Probably all of the BLM protesters

This 100%

This isn’t the end, but the beginning. There’s a lot of fight left, don’t make the mistake of thinking we’re done now.

Just admit you were wrong and a bit judgy and take the L my dude

I have non-ironically gotten responses like this

Thanks for the link. It does seem that there is a correlation between News media that leans toward the minority party getting a bump in eyeballs.

I would fucking love that if it were true but it most certainly is not

Yes, but that also like never happened. Fox was always dominant.

Christ almighty what clickbait bullshit… here’s the changelog of the change:

In macOS Sequoia, users will no longer be able to Control-click to override Gatekeeper when opening software that isn’t signed correctly or notarized. They’ll need to visit System Settings > Privacy & Security to review security information for software before allowing it to run.

Plus you can completely disable gatekeeper in the terminal. Y’all can put away your pitchforks now.

It’s the stupidest fucking timeline

BMW EV surpassed Tesla sales in Europe for July.

You sure about that?

So how do you figure there is no competition without China?

That’s not what I was saying. What I am saying is that if left unanswered, those cars would kill all of the current competitors over time and then after that we’d be at the mercy of whatever the Chinese car manufacturers would want to charge and we’d be unable to stop it.

Ugh, that is true but no way should we compromise on that IMO

Literally didn’t say any of that. I was stating how the US could be competitive.

The main problem with BYD cars is that they are heavily subsidizing by the Chinese government.

If you remove those subsidies then those cars aren’t going to be very competitive. But the problem would be that by the time the Chinese government stopped subsidies, there wouldn’t be any competition left.

Our best ways to counteract this would either be through heavy tariffs or by subsidizing our own companies in the west.

MAGA wants to do the tariffs route which is basically a bandaid solution that would prevent the Chinese companies from owning the US market but it wouldn’t do anything outside of that. Plus it doesn’t solve is being competitive, it’s just covering its ears and “lalala”’ing the issue for later generations to deal with it. Which honestly, that tracks for basically their whole platform.

If you do the subsidies route though, we’d have to make sure we’re not just constantly lining Musk’s pockets but Tesla is the company has the biggest head start. And Musk is a PoS but the devil’s credit is that our EV market wouldn’t exist without Tesla.

IMO, we need to diversify our EV makers and help provide the capital to bootstrap it. And while that’s happening we need to not let cheap Chinese cars flood the market to undercut any chance we have. So basically we need a combination of both solutions.

My only regret is that I have but 1 upvote to give you. This is a fantastic summary!

I misspoke. I meant this isn’t in front of the Supreme Court currently. It might be making its way up there though.

This isn’t going to the Supreme Court. You might be thinking of this https://www.vox.com/scotus/367701/supreme-court-arizona-rnc-republicans-mi-familia-vota

If that doesn’t sum up the path that this crazy ideology leads you down I don’t know what will.

At each step they just keep doubling down 🫠

That was my first thought as well. I love that thing but I hate that it requires the app to run
