Because those assholes keep buying up good game studios and ruining everything they touch.

EA is evil, but what they does effect gamers.

I feel like some punctuation was missed…

“…A law effectively banning TikTok as of Jan. 19 passed Congress with overwhelming House and Senate majorities. Trump has delayed enforcement for 75 days, saying in a December court filing that his status as “one of the most powerful, prolific and influential” social media personalities gives him unique abilities to evaluate the app.”

I hate this asshole so much. Everything he says and does is somehow mind bogglingly stupid, arrogant, and evil.

What’s the point of being a billionaire if you still have to kiss ass. What a loser.

I would envision a plastic tax that is based on weight of the material created. Every ounce costs $.10.Make the producer last. Same with Styrofoam. That money could be funneled back to some green initiative.

I wish we had a plastic tax. Everything is wrapped in so much unnecessary plastic.

“I can’t give this thing away.” - Guy who is asking $89,000 for a used vehicle that now sells new for $72,500.

Don’t buy vehicles from a company led by an unstable Nazi CEO, dipshit.

There’s been debate about changing the size of the supreme court for a long time. The problem is that if one party does it, the next one can do the same to stack in their favor. That said, just 9 members that are permanent installed with no oversight makes them arguably the most powerful body in the nation. Just one crooked member can be devastating.

I don’t have a perfect solution, but I’d start with something more like 21 members, strict oversight into their finances, a third party that mandates recusal, and a shelf life.

The damage of these 6-3 decisions could last decades or worse. They certainly don’t represent the people that are much closer to 50/50 conservative/liberal than 2/3 extremely conservative.

I would say Trump…if he were an actual billionaire

It doesn’t matter. It will be too late. She’s just trying to delay.

Ah yes. Louisiana, the beacon of education, progress, and economic success. Let us follow their lead to prosperity and health.

I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.

350,000 people in the U.S. died of COVID in 2020. For reference, 25,000 died of the flu in 2019. Out of nowhere, Covid became the third leading cause of death.

Any respectable news source tends to report on things like that.

Those saying that Covid was “just the flu,” or “not a big deal,” is delusional.

It’s been raining more than average here… So yeah. Same difference?

It’s not necessarily even consumer demand. Truck size and the EPA standards are linked for some reason. Essentially bigger trucks are allowed to have worse mileage.

This story talks about it. There are probably but better sources, but the point remains.

I would actually argue that many truck drivers don’t want a bigger vehicle. Mid size trucks came back on the market after a long hiatus. There are even a number of compact trucks available now, like the Maverick, Santa Cruz, etc.

Blame Reagan. Turns out that getting rid of that pesky government oversight did allow corporations to thrive… At the cost of consumers. It’s been a long slide, but the pandemic showed companies just how much they can get away with.

There’s like 3 major airlines, 3 cell providers, and 10 companies that make most of your groceries. Profits are up, and so are prices. Competition is all but dead. To quote Highlander, “There can be only one.”

Sounds like a while lot of fraud to me. I don’t understand how he is about to keep diverting resources from Tesla to his other companies, unless they’re tied together under some corporate entity. At a minimum he’s stealing from the shareholders. Why have the shareholders not voted him out yet?

It takes a lot of something to drive a company into the ground and demand $56 billion for doing it.

Nothing snapped. He has always been a piece of shit. He’s been a liar, cheat, rapist, fraud, moron, and a piss poor businessman his entire life. There are no shortage of stories backed by very real evidence. Much of it is on video. The difference is that now it’s out in the open, and for some reason that appeals to fellow idiots and racists.

The real story is how broken our education and legal systems are. I knew there were problems, but it’s so much worse than I could have imagined.
